Teachers' magic

Hi FRIENDS!!! Today's post is about Comics!! Comics are a very useful tool to use in our classes because they help students to be engaged in the reading process, motivated and it's a fun way to learn important cross-curricular content. I just have created a comic using the online program Storyboardthat  as you can see bellow! The aim of this comic is to make the students aware that if they have any problem or concern, they can talk about it with their teachers, and that is normal to not have a good day every day. It could help students to recognise their feelings and to see that they are not alone.  Ok, now I am going to tell you about my experience using this interesting tool.  At the very beginning I didn't know how to start, but this web tool gives you a lot of options to chose to create your story, as a several backgrounds, a lot of characters and on, moreover you can personalise them changing the features as the colours, sizes and shapes.

 HELLO HELLO!! In today's post we are going to add to our blog a content curation tool, this is about to filter and select the best sources and resources of our interest. For that we are going to add a widget to have a handy tool to pick resources we need in an easy and quick way. In this case we are going to use Pinterest . To create our widget we need to have an account in Pinterest . It is very easy to do, and if you have a Google account even more, just follow the steps and it's done😉.  Then we must save the materials that we are going to use and after that we have to clic in the interrogation symbol ❓ on the right side of the page and then select the option "create a widget" A new window is going to be opened and then you have to copy the two codes indicated. Paste them in your page wherever you want the widget appear. And that is all!! Fast, easy and practical. Now you are ready to use and enjoy the selected content!! I hope you find this information usef...

Hey guys!! Today we are going to learn how to correctly use images, audios, videos and so forth!!👏👏 I am going to show you some images that I used in order to create a CLIL lesson about the WATER CYCLE and some more examples. Image  by  Venita Oberholster  from  Pixabay   Every time we pick some audio-visual resource from the internet we have to properly cite the font. We cannot take whatever we want and use it as our pleased (well, we can but we mustn't) because there are some of them that have copy right and we need to pay for it. In other cases we can freely use it but respecting some conditions proposed for the author of that work. So that reason we have to know where to find public domains resources and respect their  Creative Common licence .
