<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Since my learning journey through ICT at my master's degree is finishing, I have created a video with my final reflections about all this subject.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To create the slides presesntation I used <a href="https://www.genial.ly/">Genial.ly</a> and then, to record my voice while I showing the slides, I used <a href="https://screencast-o-matic.com/home">Screencast-o-matic</a>. It was really easy to use and inntuitive but the free version only allows you to record 15 minutes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It has been an enriching journey and I am very grateful to my teacher</span><span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #8899a6; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 14px; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><a class="ProfileHeaderCard-screennameLink u-linkComplex js-nav" href="https://twitter.com/mjgsm" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #8899a6; line-height: 14px; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">@<span class="u-linkComplex-target" style="text-decoration: underline !important;">mjgsm</span></a>.</span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 14px; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;"> I have learnt incredible and interesting ICT contents which I will use in my future teaching practice :)</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hello everybody!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h4>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1. Creating my own rubric.</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As you can read in my previous posts (<a href="http://learningthroughinnovation.blogspot.com.es/2016/04/the-earths-adventures-infoedugraphic.html">The Earth's adventures InfoEdugraphic</a>, <a href="http://learningthroughinnovation.blogspot.com.es/2016/04/our-video-challenge-with-tic.html">Our videochallenge with Tic</a> and <a href="http://learningthroughinnovation.blogspot.com.es/2016/04/piktochart-slideshow.html">Piktochart slideshow</a>), lately, I have been part of the development of a group e-project. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Today, I present you the last task related to my e-project, which consits of creating a rubric to evaluate all the different aspects connected with it. It is important to be able to assess one's own projects and artifacts as well as being able to assess others'. Assessment plays an essential role in the learning process because it helps to improve one's self knowledge and learn from the mistakes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In order to accomplish this challenge, I explored several options to create a rubric and, in the end, I chose </span><a href="https://www.quickrubric.com/" style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Quick Rubric</a><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> because it is incredibly easy and intuitive to use. The template is neat and clear so you just have to give it a tittle, a description, set up a score rating of your choice, write the criteria/topic and fill each gap. Once you have completed the rubric, you click on the save button. You can find a quick tutorial for using this tool in my peer's blog: </span><a href="http://laurasblackboard.blogspot.com.es/2016/04/evaluating-my-e-project.html" style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Laura's blackboard</a><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Apart from being a easy tool to use, it has the advantage of allowing you to edit your work whenever you want, due to the fact that it is an online tool. However, as I have commented with my peers, the great disadvantage of Quick Rubric is that it does not allow you to share your results in any social network and it does not generate and embedded code either. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Because of these reasons, I leave you my rubric in this post in JPEG format, so you can see it easily. Anyway, you can also find my rubric <a href="https://www.quickrubric.com/r#/qr/celiagon92/evaluating-an-e-project">here</a>.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Once I finished my rubric, my teacher </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><a class="ProfileHeaderCard-screennameLink u-linkComplex js-nav" href="https://twitter.com/mjgsm" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #8899a6; line-height: 14px; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">@<span class="u-linkComplex-target" style="text-decoration: underline !important;">mjgsm</span></a><span style="color: #8899a6; line-height: 14px;"> </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">suggested me putting it into practice.

text-align: justify;">Laura's blackboard</a><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">'s blog.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now, I will start to explain the score they get and why:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Quality content: score 2. I think that the contents are coherent since the three activities are directly connected with History. However, it would be more complete if the e-project was linked to a concrete history topic, in order to work a specific content of the curriculum. </span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Multimedia artifacts: score 3. I believe that my partners have created engaging artifact taking advantage of each tool's possibilities to the maximun. Moreover, the artifacts accomplish their objectives clearly.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Posts reflections: score 2. Although the posts are quite complete, I miss details related to the work group and the participants roles in the working process.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Citing and attributing content: score 3. </span><span style="line-height: 21.4286px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The authors have attributed and cited all the materials and information extracted from another source correctly.</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 21.4286px;"><span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Instruction compilance: score 3. They have posted all the information required and included the URLs of the outcomes.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 21.4286px;"><span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">E-portfolio: score 3. I find my peers' e-portfolio eye-catching and engaging. Besides, all the URLs provided are meaningful.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 21.4286px;"><span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dissemination: socre 3. All the participants have spread the e-project through the social netwoks using the appropiate hashtags. </span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So, their final mark is: 19/21. I strongly believe that they have created a really good e-project and I will use it when I have the chance :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My mom made me a reader :)</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After completing some group challenges, we came back to work individually. The new challenge our teacher had prepared for us was related to the Book Day, which is the 23th of April. Because of this event, we were requested to created an aura.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">First, I will explain what Aurasma is. <a href="https://www.aurasma.com/">Aurasma</a> is a HP Autonomy's augmented reality platform that can deliver any content (videos, audio, pictures, animations...) in real time. The final artifact is called ''aura''. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you want to learn how to use Aurasma step by step, you can read this interesting and detailed post of one of my classmates with an explanatory slideshow: </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">http://learnwithclil.blogspot.com.es/2016/04/supporting-learners-to-use-aurasma.html</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So, first I had to decided what kind of content I wantes to upload: a videoclip or an audio track. I chose the videoclip beacuse I wanted to show viewers the books I liked the most. I recorded the video with my iPad and edited it with <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/es-es/windows/movie-maker">Movie Maker</a> to make it less heavy.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then, I had to choose an image for my aura. At the begining it was ging to be the cover of my favorite book. However, after giving it a thought, I chose to create a collage with pictures of the books I have in my room. This way, viewers could know more about me and the genres I like. I created the collage using the free tool <a href="http://www.photoscape.org/ps/main/download.php?lc=es">PhotoScape</a>, which is a efficient and easy tool I have been using for years. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Once I had everything prepared I entered in </span><a href="https://studio.aurasma.com/login" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Aurasma Studio </a><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">to create my aura. It is increadibly easy to use since all the steps are clearly explained in the website and it is very intuitive. However, if you have any problem, you can see the steps in the blog's link I put above or watch this tutorial (also created by my peers):</span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Today, I would like to explain you the new

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For this new task, we have decided to make
a tutorial about how to use <i><a href="http://piktochart.com/">Piktochart</a></i>
in order to help our students to take advantage of it. We are not going to
extend more talking about <i>Piktochart</i>
because you can see all its details in the tutorial. However, we have to say
that we have chosen <i>Piktochart</i> since
we claim that our children might be able to create their own infographic and we
have used it before successfully. </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">First of all, we screencasted our computer screen while we were recording orally step by step the process to use Piktochart. We
think that, in this way our pupils will be familiarised with it better. To do
that, we have used the free tool called <i><a href="http://www.atube.me/video/">aTubeCatcher</a></i>.
We found this program suitable for this task because it is very easy to
use and it has all the features we were looking for. </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">However, a disadvantage
that we have found is that <i>aTubeCatcher</i>
doesn´t allow us to edit videos. For this reason, we used the program <i><a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/es-es/windows/movie-maker">Movie Maker</a> </i>and we also added a final
image with our <i>Twitter</i> handles in
order to give the viewers the <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>possibility to contact us
with their doubts and questions.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This time, for this group task, we had to become both writers and
film directors! We were requested to create a clip about our common e-project
but, first of all, we had to plan what it would be about. Therefore we started to
create a storyboard with our main ideas. As our topics were about the Earth we
decided to create a character based on the universe. What could be better than
an alien? Everybody wants to know about life from outer space! That’s how TIC
was born, our main character. Can you guess why he is called TIC?</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To create our storyboard we chose the
web tool <a href="http://www.storyboardthat.com/">Storyboard That</a>. Since the moment we started to use this tool, we were surprised
how amazing the pictures were: backgrounds, characters and different shapes,
which allow you to create exactly what you want. What we liked the most was the
possibility of modifying the position of the main character, which makes the story
more real.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

than six scenes. This is why we had to shorten the story. It was not a problem because
the final clip will include the whole story.<o:p></o:p></span></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This storyboard is a guideline for the video challenge and it is meant to be a tale the teacher could tell their students at class.</span></span></div>

meet TIC?</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">From the storyboard, we brought TIC to
live! First, if you want to film a movie you need to write a script so we
became writers! Our clip was divided into eleven scenes in which our alien
would travel through the Solar System to discover the magic planet. TIC was
dying to find it out!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

but… We needed an actor!

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Then, we were ready to record the video
challenge. For this purpose we use decided to use the chroma key technique. By using
Camtasia and this technique, we could substitute the green background for a
picture of our choice. Regarding Camtasia, it seems quite difficult to use at
rhe very beginning. However, after practicing with it for a while we discovered
all its possibilities. We downloaded the free version with a free trial for 30
days. Thanks to Camtasia, we have learned how to use chroma key and how to organize
the video clips, the pictures and the audios in order to get the final video.
The only problem we didn´t like about this tool was the fact that, because of
the free version, a watermark appeared in our video and the quality of it
decreased.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">Despite this little problem, the result was fantastic! We created a video in which TIC </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">travels through the Solar system and discovers the Earth and its
layers. Tic also has doubts and makes questions during the video in order to
encourage participation in our pupils. The teacher could stop the video
whenever TIC makes one question to let the pupils answer him. This video can
be used to introduce a topic, so the teacher can know about their prior
knowledge, or to make a review at the end of the topic. Hope you enjoy it!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With this mission we have participated in the nationwide educative project <a href="http://theesltimes.blogspot.com.es/">The ESL Times</a>. It is an English digital magazine that encourage participation while learning and enjoying.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally, I would like to say that, despite a few problems in the editing process, I have enjoyed this experience a lot! It has been really funny to record the video. I have certanly laugh a lot :). Moreover, I have also learned about the chroma key technique. It is something you always see in the movies' making off but you never think that is something you could also do at home! It has been increadibly interesting!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Good afternoon to all of you :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On the 7th of April, at 19 Spanish time, some of my university peers and I went live on Youtube to carry out one of our group task. This task consisted of participating in a collaborative project called <a href="http://tertuliasconsaborachocolate.blogspot.com.es/">Chococharlas</a>. This project fosters the participation, opinion and inclusion of the entire educative community by organizing online meetings on Youtube or similar video platforms. In these meeting, people discuss topics related to inclusive education, special needs, new methodologies and so forth while eating sweets. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The first thing we had to do was assigning roles. One of us would be the speaker (the one who will talk in the live debate), other two members would be the ones in charge of disseminating and commenting the event in the social networks before and during the live, and the other two people would be the content curators, what is to say the ones who collect all that happened during this activity.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Secondly, in order to prepare this task, each work group had to think of how CLIL can contribute to having happier bilingual learners.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The speakers of each group were: </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We met on Google Hangouts, along with our teacher </span><a class="ProfileHeaderCard-screennameLink u-linkComplex js-nav" href="https://twitter.com/mjgsm" style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 14px; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; outline: 0px;">@</span><span class="u-linkComplex-target" style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; outline: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">mjgsm</span></a> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">two hours earlier before the event to prepare the live. We went live at 19:00 pm and the chocotalk started. We talked about four main topics regarding CLIL methodology: </span><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Advantages and disadvantages of CLIL: the main conclusions were the need of working cross-curricularly, despite the difficulty of it (specially in Secondary Education) and the possibility of solving this problem by working with projects in collaboration with the entire educative community.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Social and emoional benefits of CLIL: Patricia remarked the importance of Krashen Theory based on language acquisition, that establishes the need of motivating students to learn. Besides, emotional intelligence plays and important role in education since we, as teachers, are working with humans, as Rubén highlighted.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">ICT in the CLIL classroom: we talked about some tools that can be used in the classroom, including video games. However, the main conclusion was that the most important aspects of ICT are the purpose they are used for and the students' learning process rather than the tools. Moreover, Inma added that using ICT is not time consuming but just the opposite.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The last topic was relating to our e-projects: we described briefly each project in order to give ideas and examples of how ICT could be incorporate in the CLIL classroom. </span></li>
</ol>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While the speakers were debating, our peers were disseminating the event on Twitter, sharing our comments and conclusions and giving their opinions. You can see a summary of our tweets and the entire process made with Storify here: <a href="https://storify.com/GMEstrellaa/the-chocotalk-event">https://storify.com/GMEstrellaa/the-chocotalk-event</a></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As a speaker, I was feeling terribly nervous </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">at the beginning</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">. Actually, I spent the whole live quite nervous. However, when the debate finished I realised how much I have enjoyed the experience. Sharing knowledge and opinions in a calm and friendly way with my peers while going on live was increadibly funny and enriching. Besides, being able of the work of the rest of my classmates and seeing the collaborative result at the end felt like a success. It was very intense and I would totally repeat the experience!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Finally, here you have our CLIL chocotalk. Enjoy :)</span></div>

Our main learning outcome is for our students to know about the planets of the Solar System, The Earth`s layers (Hydrosphere and atmosphere) and landforms as well as environmental care.</span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">First we assigned the roles:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;">- </span><a class="ProfileHeaderCard-screennameLink u-linkComplex js-nav" href="https://twitter.com/GMEstrellaa" style="background-color: #d9d2e9; line-height: 14px; outline: 0px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;"><span style="outline: 0px;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">@</span></span><span class="u-linkComplex-target" style="outline: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">GMEstrellaa</span></a><span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"> was the coordinator. She had to direct and check that each member did his part of the job. She also encouraged us to keep working on the infographic.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- </span><a class="ProfileHeaderCard-screennameLink u-linkComplex js-nav" href="https://twitter.com/gonzaalo10" style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 14px; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; color: #351c75;"><span style="outline: 0px;">@</span><span class="u-linkComplex-target" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; outline: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">gonzaalo10</span></span></a><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><span style="color: purple;"> </span>was the supervisor and he was in charge of controlling the creation process and remembering each person's task. They also had to take notes of everybody's ideas. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- <a class="ProfileHeaderCard-screennameLink u-linkComplex js-nav" href="https://twitter.com/lainez_ortega" style="line-height: 14px; outline: 0px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;"><span style="outline: 0px;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">@</span></span><span class="u-linkComplex-target" style="outline: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">lainez_ortega</span></a> and <a class="ProfileHeaderCard-screennameLink u-linkComplex js-nav" href="https://twitter.com/cristinarisueno" style="line-height: 14px; outline: 0px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; outline: 0px;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">@</span></span><span class="u-linkComplex-target" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; outline: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">cristinarisueno</span></a> were the secretaries.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Finally, I <span style="color: purple;">(<a class="ProfileHeaderCard-screennameLink u-linkComplex js-nav" href="https://twitter.com/celiagon92" style="line-height: 14px; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">@</span><span class="u-linkComplex-target" style="outline: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">celiagon92</span></a>) </span>was the speaker.

<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">To accomplish this task, we had to face two problems:</span><br />
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">How to link all our e-projects' contents: After thinking about it for a while, we decided to structure the infoedugraphic from the most asbtract content (the space) to the most concrete one (landforms). This way, we could include all our Social Science contents in a structured and well-organised way. In order to motivate them, we added a badge that they could get once they finished the learning process.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">How to adapt the contents to the different school's levels: this challenge was harder to face but finally we though of making an interactive InfoEduGraphic. What does this mean? We did not only a infographic (which is an image) but also an interactive image. By doing this, we foster an active learning and allow students of different grades to access to different activities of different difficulty. The teacher could guide all this learning process to do the activities corresponding each course.</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;">
</span>
</span><br />
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">How did we create our InfoEduGraphic?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;">We decided to use the tool <a href="http://piktochart.com/">Piktochart</a> due to the fact that some members of our group had already used it and they said that it could fit the purpose of the project perfectly. It gives you the possibility to create infographics, posters, presentations or reports depending on what we need. The one we chose is an infographic as it is divided into different blocks which were suitable for each difficulty level. The quality of the pictures and icons that the tool offers is quite high and very attractive, exactly what we were looking for: to captivate students’ attention. </span></span><span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;">Finally, we would like to highlight that Picktochart would be perfect if it offered the possibility of making those graphics interactives (pictures with movements, sounds, link to other webpages and so on) instead of being just an image. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: start;">Once we had our infographic finished we went to make it interactive to promote and active learning and to increase pupils' motivation. We did this part of the project using the online tool </span><a href="https://www.thinglink.com/" style="text-align: start;">Thing Link</a><span style="text-align: start;">. With this tool you can make an interactive image by putting links in small spots inside your picture. Therefore, we included a video to expand knowledge, interactive activities to review each content and an Arts and Crafts activity about environmental care.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As you can imagine, this tool is inreadibly useful to create you own CLIL materials because, by linking resources, you can work the 4Cs. However, we think this tool would be nicer if it offered a wider variety of forms to insert the links, not only spots. </span></div>

They can be used to introduce content, to review vocabulary, to explain the steps of a process or activity, to help children with special educational needs. Infographics present information in a neat and visual way that can clarify students' doubts.Moreover, students can also create their own infographics to learn about content and ICT skills.</span></span></span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After evaluating the Minecraft Planet ebook, I thought that I could make my own e-project getting some inspiration from it. This is why I decided to create my ebook about landscapes (which is the topis I have taught to my pupils during my internship) and using also Minecraft as a learning tool.</span></div>

I chose it because I was curious about it since I saw some awesome videos created by my peer for the 321Introduction. I wanted to learn how to use it and see its features and possibilities. I didn´t know that Powtoon can be used also to create presentations. I find it really easy and inntuitive to use. It has plenty designs and characters to use. I missed some options such as changing the clothes' colours of the characters, their positions, more facial expressions and backgrounds. However, I think that is a very suitable tool to use with primary students.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hello everybody! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In this post I´m going to reflect my conclusions about my latest Master´s task, which consists of evaluating a CLIl e-project. I chose an ebook </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">that is directed to fourth graders and its main learning outcome is for students to learn about the Solar System. You can find the ebook here: <a href="http://minecraftplanetforkids.weebly.com/">http://minecraftplanetforkids.weebly.com/</a>. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In order to evaluate this project I have used the following </span><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4tYc2LUEOmadVk2M0tBcVlyR0E/view" style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">rubric</a><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> and the </span><a href="http://bie.org/object/document/pbl_essential_elements_checklist" style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">essential PBL checklist</a><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">. In this post I will analyse the positive aspects of this website, as well as its negative ones.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To start with, I would like to say that I chose this ebook because I find the idea of using Minecraft as a learning tool very interesting and innovative. If you are interested you can have a look at the ebook outline </span><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/15q1akfSi3cdDKUflo4vLmOkeZ-efZQo0r5_yRSS6vCM/edit" style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">here</a><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On one hand, this e-project has plenty advanteges to catch students attention and keep them motivated because it is connected with children´s interests. It is an e-project divided into missions. In each one, students have to generate questions, find and use resources and develop their own answers. After that, they have to create their own products (videos, audios, blog, etc.) by using different online tools, so they develop critical thinking skills, problem solving and collaborative strategies. Therefore, the use of multimedia elements is part of the e-project content. The teacher acts as a guide in this Project Based Learning and allows the students to make some choices about the tools they can use and how to create their products. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Regarding the ebook layout, I would like to say that is well-organized with a neat index, an attractive and engaging design and the contents are adequately licensed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On the other hand, despite the fact that the contents are adecuated to the pupils´level and to the official standars of the curriculum, there is not a clear concordance between the ebook tasks and the learning outcomes they have to achieve. Moreover, the e-project creator says that each task will be evaluated following a rubric, but that rubric does not appear anywhere. Although the students have to reflect their learning by publishing their creations in the website, there is not a feedback from peer to peer. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Besides, pupils don´t have to publish their results in their blogs and make some reflections about them. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In connection with the website design I would like to underline that this ebook is not completly accesible to people with visual disabilities due to the fact that some letters, because of their font and colour, are difficult to read and distinguish from the background.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here is the link to my Genially presentation that summarizes my evaluation of ''Minecraft Planet'' ebook: </span><a class="idShare" href="http://www.genial.ly/View/Index/56d87ee01561e80f14716e52" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c7254e; font-family: Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, 'Courier New', monospace; font-size: 12.6px; line-height: 18px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none;">http://www.genial.ly/View/Index/56d87ee01561e80f14716e52</a><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I chose the online tool Genially to create my presentation following my teacher´s piece of advice. I find this tool very attractive, innovative and colourful. It has a very creative approach and allows you to create amazing and original presentations, Cvs, infographics, postcards and posters. However, it is a new tool with some beta functions so it has to be improved. While making my presentation I missed some Power Point options such as inserting written links, figures and forms, some effects, etc. Despite all that, I have enjoyed this tool and I will keep on using it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hope you find this post interesting!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Good afternoon, teachers!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Regarding my previous post (<a href="http://learningthroughinnovation.blogspot.com.es/2016/02/bank-of-common-knowledge.html">Bank of common knowledge</a>), in which I talked about our Master´s Pinterest board <a href="https://es.pinterest.com/mjgsm/open-clil/">Open CLIL</a>, I would like to tell you about my new mission. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">For this task, I had to choose one tool in order to curate and organise useful contents related to education. After having a look at Listly and Symbaloo, I decided to create a new board in Pinterest to carry out this task. Although Symbaloo seems very atractive and inntuitive tool, I took this decision because I prefer having collected all the resources that I find interesting in the same tool. Moreover I love Pinterest because of its boards to collect contents and the variety of resources of any topic you want to look for. It is also very inntuitive and easy to use.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Having explained that, I </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> would like to introduce you my own Pinterest board: </span><a href="https://es.pinterest.com/celiagon92/clil-indispensable-resources/" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">CLIL indispensable resources</a>. <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here I have chosen and organised some of the resources my classmates posted in our Open CLIL board. I have chosen the ones that I consider more full of materials and activities to use in my future teaching experience. Have a look if you like! :)</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">In this post I would like to talk about Pinterest as a tool to find and collect educational content and resources. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Pinterest is a social network that allows people to share images, videos and information from their own personal collection or from websites.In Pinterest you can create a collection of photos on any topic you want to (education, beauty, make-up, clothes, animals, music, series, etc.). When you ''pin'' something it means that you are adding images, videos...to Pinterest and having a ''board'' means having a ''set of pins''. You can follow boards of your interests.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At my Master´s degree we are collecting lots of recources for educational purposes in our </span><a href="https://es.pinterest.com/mjgsm/open-clil/" style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Open CLIL</a><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> board. However, our chosen resources have to be free from copyright, they must be Creative Commons Open Educational Resources. In this way, there are no legal problems to distribute them and use them at CLIL classrooms.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">To the Open CLIL board I have added six links to websites which are full of materials, lesson plans, games, interactive activities, etc. I have preferred choosing these kinds of resources because I think they are increadibly useful for our future teaching experience. By using these websites, teachers can carry out activities for different purposes: prior knowledge activities, introducing new contents, reviewing and evaluating knowledge.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here are the six resources I pined in our classroom board:</span></div>

By doing this, we are incorporating the use of ICT as a teaching tool in our CLIL lessons. The use of this technology is also motivating for students and allows an innovative and active approach to the contents. Pinterest is an excelent tool to recopilate all types of contents and classify them in topics.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Regarding how I would
work Creative Commons materials with my pupils, first I would work with them in
moral values such as respect and empathy. They would have to create their
own video, text or something related to Arts and then think about how they
would feel if someone modified their work without their permission or distributed
it without recognising them as authors. They should understand the importance
of respecting others creations and effort and that they cannot use every
material they find on the Internet for free. Therefore, they need to know how
to cite and attribute the information they find and later use in their
homeworks. It is also a good idea to teach them how to create a Creative
Commons license for their blogs, websites, etc.</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
The first time I heard about CLIL methodological approach was at Complutense University, when I was studying my Primary Education degree. I studied some basic concepts about CLIL in the English teaching subject and in a brief way.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
After finishing my degree, I studied CLIl approach deeper in The Master´s degree at URJC. During this course I´ve learned more about this approach, resources that can be used at a CLIL classroom, what kind of activities can be done, strategies to carry out at class, etc.. I´ve also learned how to plan a CLIL lesson in a correct way.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
In my mindmap you can see which tools I use to get information about CLIL. I´m going to explain briefly how I created my diagram:</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Once I had an idea about what my PLE and PLN were, I used in first place the web tool called Popplet. Then, I discovered Coggle and I found it more colourful and attractive to create my mindmap, so I went for it. Although I prefer Coggle because of its variety of shapes, I have to say that Popplet is also a easy tool to use in which you can make neat and visual diagrams.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
As you can see in my Coggle´s diagram, I have divided my PLE in different sections depending on the purpose of each tool I use to learn about CLIL:</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">To surf</span>: Although I use Safari and Mozilla also, I prefer Google Chrome beacuse of its convenience. Everything you do inside your google account and with Google apps and tools is authomatically saved.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

Some of them are Google (and Google Scholar for more academic information), Wikipedia, blogs, Moodle (for the University classees), Youtube, some social networks (Pinterest is very useful when you need original ideas to create materials or find online resources to use at you class) and some official websites such as the Ministry of Education website, AAICOLE website, educaplay, etc.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

I included here webtools like Pxton, Coggle, Popplet and Paint because I´ve recently learned that are really useful to do activities with children and create materials.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

Some of these tools are also part of my PLN.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 15px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

I also interact through Skype when working in groups and add my submissions to moodle in connection with my university homeworks. In moodle I also comments on my peers works.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 15px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

I have been twittering for one week some concepts and ideas I know and I have learned about CLIL methodological approach. As you might know, CLIL means Content and Language Integrated Learning. This approach to teach both content and language simultaneously is being used in bilingual education nowadays because of its efficacy. </div>

If you´re interested, you can find more information about CLIL reading my TL at Twitter!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Besides, I consider Twitter to be a perfect and useful tool full of posibilities to learn from other teachers, share resources and information, learn about different kinds of topics and being up to date with the latest news about education. This is way I encourage you to create your own Twitter account and be connected to this amazing world that education is!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello everybody!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To create my 3,2,1 Introduction I have used the tool called Pixton. After investigating other online tools such as Domo Animate and Animoto, I decided to use Pixton because of its simplicity. Besides, I found funny the idea of making a comic about myself.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As I said, this tool is useful to create comics. First, you can create your own character, which can be similar to you because you can personalise the hair style, the colours, the accesories, the clothes, etc. Then, you can select the novice way or the advanced way. I chose the the novice way, in which you can choose different designs for the clothes, the backgrounds, the landscapes, add different objects to the scenes, change their colours, add some text, change your character´s position, gestures, etc. You can create your own comic full of details and incredibly colourful, and for free! I only had some troubles when saving the comic because I didn´t realise that you have to save what you do in each scene and not just at the end of the whole process.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If I could change something about this web tool it would be the posibility to create an animated video (as Laura also said) or to make a GIF of each scene of the comic. This option would make this tool even more attractive to children.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 15px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Finally, what I´ve most enjoyed of this tool is that is easy to use, intuitive and with a lot of options to personalise your own comic. In my opinion, this online website tool is suitable for fifth and sixth graders. It could be used in Arts and Craft, to recreate historical events in comic style for Social Science or tales and stories in English class and Spanish Language. Therefore, it has a lot of possibilities in the CLIL classroom and I recommend you to use it if you like.</span></div>
