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.

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 Gartner, gamification began to be used and to be heard everywhere. 

Nowadays, the most popular author is Karl Karpp, who says that gamification is "the careful and thoughtful integration of game features, aesthetics and mechanics in a non-game context to promote behavioral change, motivate and engage people". 

Finally, although many of you already know my avatar, I leave it here again. Moreover, for content curation, I will continue using Pinterest where you will be able to see all the content that I will incorporate.

See you soon!

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 creation as well. Currently, they allow you to

Pluto´s Dream Hello everybody!  This week, I was working in a video clip . Can you remember my storyboard ?  This video is related to that story. As you know, the fable tells us about a little dog, called Pluto, who dreams with a better life.  First of all, I kept in mind my possibilities in order to record a video at home. Secondly, I took a green bed sheet and some fluffy toys. In this way, I recorded my video clip. After that, I used  VSDC Free Video Editor   to delete the green background and replace it by pictures. Then, I utilised Movie Maker to add music and  give a touch of sophistication and professionalism. It´s true that VSDC allows you to do this actions, but I prefered Movie Maker to work on these last details.  Sincelery, the process was quite long but also enjoyable . I´ve learnt how to use VSDC and make a video with chroma key after all. However, I had some problems editing the video because of several creases in the bed sheet. Finally,  I did the best I cou

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 groups and each one of them will be expe
