MINDMEISTER

Living Beings

Good evening!

Today, I come back with new interesting tools. How many times have you made a mindmap? Without a doubt, you made it over thousand times considering that, they are useful for brainstorming, studying, presenting information, summarizing etc. What´s more, if your students get used to making it, they will develop their digital competence and learn an excellent study technique.

 In this occasion, I offer you "collaborative mindmapping" where you could share your document with other classmates to work together on the same mindmap. Honestly, I recommend you Coggle or Mindmeister.

To my mind, Mindmeister offers you more possibilites than Coggle and you could design sophisticated mindmaps. Thanks to this website, you can include some pictures, videos and notes. Other options are: to attach documents, to change the structure of your mindmap and to insert links as well. In fact, you can visualise it through a quick look or in a presentation which allows you to introduce your creation to your students step by step. To sum up, a huge number of possibilities. Nevertheless, both are good options and now, it´s up to you! 

Personally, I made a mindmap about living beings with Mindmeister. If I´m sincere, it was a challenge to learn how to create an online mindmap, but it was worth it and I´m fascinated with my result. In particular, it´s about vertebrate and invertebrate animals to Natural Sciences and focused on 4º grade of Primary Education. Finally, I included a Kahoot, which was carried out by Nrichardson, to review some concepts and some videos from Happy Learning. So please, take a look!

Tips To Entertain Yourself At Home Good afternoon!  We´re living a difficult situation, but we must keep working our brain.  For this reason, I designed an infographic about some advices to bear this situation.  Firstly, an infographic is a visual way of representing key information . This type of tool makes more attractive and motivating to read information. In fact, it´s a good way to learn how to summarize and organize your ideas.  There´re a lot of tools such as:  Easel.ly ,  Piktochart ,  Canva ,  Smore ,  Tackk , Mural.ly or Padlet .  From my point of view, thanks to Piktochart you can create an interactive infographic easily. It´s simple from the beginning, because you have the chance to use a template and edit it, or create your own. What´s more, you might add pictures from your computer or choose among Piktochart´s pictures. Y ou could insert charts, maps, videos, shapes and icons in order to decorate your cr...

Blog Licence And Discovering Our World Hi again! Today, we've worked about how to create a Blog licence. When we start a blog we must have a blog licence. The principal reason is because we shouldn't copy and paste a picture from other people.  Creative Commons licenses grant permission in advance. In fact, you have the chance to choose what type of license you want.

Besides, teacher could ask them if they already know something from these countries to have a good atmosfere and motivate them.  Finally, they will make...

  GAMIFICAMOOC Hello again everyone! After a long season, I'm back! I've really missed writing here, but better late than never! Today, I want to tell you about a course which is related to Gamification, called " Gamificación en el Aula " . This Mooc is developed by AprendeINTEFF, the National Institute of Educational Technologies and Teacher Training. Image by AprendeINTEF The author of this course is Clara Cordero and the coordinator is María Brea . The course lasts about a month and each week they share a lesson. I am sure that I will discover many resources to take advantage of.  If you want to find more information check it out on Facebook or Twitter with the hastag #GamificaMooc . This first lesson was about the concept of gamification which has been used from different perspectives. To begin with, Nick Pelling , a video game designer, was the first to coin the term and to establish the direct relationship between the game and the process. However, with Gar...
