CLIL E-PROJECT PROTOTYPE

Hello everybody!

After learning to evaluate the my colleagues's e-book about animals, I decided to create my own e-project. In this case, it's about "The Hydrosphere". Why did I chose this topic? I thought that this topic had a lot of possibilites to develop. In addition, the vocabulary, processes and features of the hydrosphere are key in the curriculum of Primary Education. Moreover, I can use many different resources and applications to work the contents, hence I think it's a very rich topic in learning.


Regarding to the creation of my prototype videoclip, I used Pow Toon because, in my opinion, it's one the most useful tools to record a videoclip for children. It's very visual and easy to handle. Moreover, it offers a great quantity of templates with many images, animations, shapes...etc. I have tried to be as concise as possible to attract better the client attention.


I hope you like and find it useful! 

Best regards!
                             

EVALUATING CLIL E-PROJECTS

Hello everybody!

Here is the link of the CLIL e-project chosen by me to evaluate it!: https://sites.google.com/site/clilanimals3g/

To carry out this challenge I decided to use the tool called Genially, a beatiful way to create multimedia presentations. It allows us to use many templates, images..etc. Moreover it offers us many options to  create whatever we want! Initially, it was a little bit complicated for me to master the operation of the tool but, once you have acquired  the skill to work with it, things run smoothly!

This activity has made my eyes open about the importance of the evaluation. It is key that children learn to evalutate their peers because, in this way, they will develop thier critical thinking and their capacity to judge!


I hope you find it interesting!

Best regards!

OPEN CLIL: BANK OF COMMON KNOWLEDGE

CREATIVE COMMONS LICENCE

 Before starting this entry I would like to answer two questions that I consider to be key for the understanding of the property sense.


- What do my license allow others to do with my CLIL e-materials?
I used this licence because I found it very useful to share and use material and information. In addition it has many possibilities for restrictions.
My lincence allows others to use my information or different contents created by me with the condition of  naming me. Moreover, people are not allowed to use the material for commercial purposes. I have not additional restrictions, so everybody will be able to use or share the material if they follow this two points.

- What are good ways to motivate our students to use Creative Commons material and attribute properly?
Students have to know what is the creativity. Creativity belongs to each of us, that's why is extremely important protect our creations or ideas. Students have to learn to attribute properly because it's a fair way to learn.
