Farewell

Hi!!!

Today I am going to travel around my learning journey. In order to do so I have created this interactive BoardGame using Genial.ly. I used a space trip as theme to show how much I have learnt during these few months. I am still in shock after realizing how many things I am able to do now. I am sure of only one thing... this trip has just started...

As you can see, in the right side you can see the tokens to move around the board after using the dice. When you are in a new box click on the number to see what I have learnt in that stop of my journey. Every number has something hidden...

I think creating a boardgame is a very creative idea to revise something in your class.I am sure that our students will love to play with an interactive boardgame.

I hope you enjoy this game as much as I did when I created it.

I just can say, THANK YOU FRANCISCO, you are GREAT TEACHER!!

The world is my audience #twima8

Hello there!!!

Today I want to share with you this new tool for me, flipgrid. Then I entered the code for #twima8 - We all have a story. I did it directly from my computer and it was the easiest thing ever!! I log in with my email, I entered the code and I could record from the computer, it was very easy and the steps to follow were very intuitive.

I strongly recommend this experience, not only for the fact of sharing anecdotes, but for the good moment I had with my boyfriend remembering memories to choose the accurate one!

I think that sharing stories with our students could be a great idea to strengthen our relationship with them and making them more confident with us, therefore I recommend every one to use this kind of tools with their students! Maybe we can discover many interesting things about them and thanks to that make our classes more attractive for them!!


Here I share with you the grid in case you want to take part of this experience!

 

And I also share with you my video with my experience!!




I hope you like it! And please, record yourself and share your video with me!!

See you soon!!!

Record the video clip

Hi!!! Are you exited?? Because I am!!

I have to recon that it was reeeeeally hard to record the video clip....

As I told you we wanted to start with a videocall.... Well, we tried many different apps.. First, the very well-known Skype but one of us (the one recording) appeared in a small circule and we wanted to appear in a square with the same size.... Then we thought that maybe Whatsapp could be an option but when we wanted to record the screen I could only record my voice but not my friends' voices... Well... You can imagine how stressful was the situation... Finally, after many attempts, we tried Zoom and it was perfect!! Before recording we revised when we needed to talk and what we were going to say, some different ways to introduce eachother, etc.

Once we had the introduction, it was time to record our individual part. I was going to be Frida Kahlo, so I needed to create some flower with tissue paper and pint my famous eyebrow 😜. I used TouchCast Studio with my ipad to record the video since I could change the background directly. My brother was recording me and I can't remember how many times I did repite the same part once and again (I will pay a coke for him when we can go to a bar).

In order to put all the parts together we used imove which is a quite simple app where you just drag the elements and you can add sounds, music and different effects and, also, modify the volume.

Finally, we uploaded the video in Youtube to show it to you!


And this was the result!!






To finish with I would like to share with you a short reflection about recording a videoclip... I think it is totally worth the hard work and the effort... Students will enjoy seeing their teachers in a video and how they enjoy and customize themselves... It is really motivating, not only for student but for us as well. I really enjoyed doing this with my friends.

I recommend everyone to try this and play the videoclip in class, for sure the students' reaction will be shoking!

Storyboard a video project.

Hi everyone!!!

I hope you are well!! Today I am going to present you how my friends (Tania, Paloma and Irati) and me have prepared a storyboard in order to do a video clip later.

First, we decided the topic: IMPORTANT WOMEN IN THE HISTORY. We have chosen this topic to play this video in the Women's day, on the 8th of March. Then we investigated some important women along the History, since we were four, we chose 4 important women: Marie Curie, Hedy Lamarr, Frida Kahlo and Dian Fossey.

When we knew the character we investigated interesting facts of their life and why they became so important.

After that, we created the idea or how to create the story, so we did a storyboard with Canva. With this we wanted to make clear the idea, choose the order of the footages... In order to put all the ideas together we shared a document in Google Drive so all of us had access to it.

We decided to do an introduction with a videocall due to the lockdown, we thought that it could be a good idea to be 4 students preparing a project and complaining about through Zoom, and then something goes wrong and we become in each character. We decided to start with Marie Curie because is the "oldest" and finish with Dian Fossey who is the most "contemporary".

And we wanted to finish our story with another videocall where everyone of us now has some about the woman we represented, like now that we have studied them and learn about them, we are a little more like those strong women.

Here you have the storyboard from Canva.

Here you can see the script we did in Google Drive in a shared document. We inserted the storyboard there as well to have always the idea of what we wanted to do.





I am looking forward to showing you the videoclip!!

I hope you enjoy it!!
