TOWARDS A TECHNOLOGICAL WORLD

Pixton Good afternoon! I hope you and your family are healthy.  Yesterday, I designed a comic related to some children when they are nervous speaking English in front of their class, specially first days. Moreover, I have  dedicated it to every teacher when they started to teach.  I  utilised  Pixton  which is used to create comics. First of all, you should create an account and after that, start to imagine a story. It´s incredible the amount of backgrounds, characters. .. You could even play with the gestures of your characters. I n short, loads of possibilities.  Honestly, I had several problems to share it, because I didn´t realise that there were different types of Pixton.  On the one hand, Pixton Edu has a wonderful layout and it´s easier to create you own characters. In fact, they offer you a probationary period completely free. However, after this short period of time you must pay. It´s true that, if you press the right button ...

Children´s Diet Good evening! Today, I´m going to reflect about Children´s Diet because from my point of view, our health is the most important in our lifes. In fact, sometimes we forget it and we feed our children with the first food that we see. Which means have breakfast with processed baked goods. Do you want to start changing? Keep reading. This week, I´ve discovered  Genially   where you have the chance to create presentations for your lessons. I designed a presentation for Natural Science focused on 3º grade of Primary Education about Children´s Diet. Here, I explain a healthy lifestyle, the food pyramid and some activities to practise that knowledge. In addition, they could be chefs and create their own plate for a important restaurant in Madrid. Take a look! Honestly, I´d never used Genially  because I used to design presentations with Power Point. However, I realised that this tool it´s definitely awesome! In general terms, you have more layouts and it´s m...

In fact, in Education world it´s essential to create resources for your lessons. In this way, you can be inspired by another teachers.  Don't hesitate to follow me and discover my tiny story.

Pinterest Today, it is already March! Which means at the end of this month, it will be Spring!  Have you ever used Pinterest ? From my point of view, it´s a useful tool to keep resources for lessons or to be inspired by others teachers, proffesionals etc. Moreover, you can utilice others webs. For instance: Symbaloo , Pearltrees or List.ly. In Pinterest, I created a board about materials focused on Arts and Crafts to teach the Spring in 1º or 2º grade of Primary Education. In this board, you will find five pins such as: a video about how to create a flower and some webs where you learn how to do a ladybird, a bee or a butterfly. Even I added, an interactive and manipulative way to explain how plants grow up.  It sounds great, isn´t it?  If you want, you can follow me in Pinterest.  See you in the next post and have an awesome week! 

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. Image by  WikiImages  from  Pixabay   Image by MabelAmber from Pixabay On the other hand, I invented a CLIL Lesson  "Discovering Our World"  about Natural Science for fifth grade of Primary Education.  As you can see, these images are from Pixabay .  I chose some pictures about Europe to introduce the countries.  In this way, children will identify where is each country in an interactive way. 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...

Welcome to Everybody!   My name is Natalia and it is a pleasure to start this blog.  I  am 22 years old and  I´m keen on doing sports such as riding, swimming and zumba. Currently, I am studying a Master's Degree in Bilingual Education because I want to be a good English teacher in the future. As you know, if you dare to teach, you must never stop learning. As you can see,  I created this Avatar and I used the App BitEmoji . Sincerely, it´s creative and useful to have an avatar to protect our security on Internet. We have to be aware of the dangers, especially with children. Without a doubt, I´m going to use this App with my future students. They must know how to protect their personal life and facial features.  To sum up, I am going to share different Apps, websites and my reflections in this blog. I hope you enjoy it and I invite you to travel together towards a technological world.
