There are six types of licences. We can use these licences to share a work freely, but depending on the type of licence we will have some restrictions or others.
MINDMAP - SOCIAL SCIENCE In first grade we are going to see the landscapes. Their final proyect is to make a scale model of one type of landscape. In order to choose which one to do, we will see three different types: coastal landscape, mountain landscape and flat landscape. To order the ideas, the students have to make a mindmap. In there, they will have to write the elements of each landscape so they can have a clear vision of the types of landscapes. There are different tools to make it but I have chosen Bubbl.us. On the one hand, I experienced that this app is very intuitive and the bubbles are very easy to make. We can select the size of them, the colours and join them with lines and arrows. Moreover, it is simple to add images and links. On the other hand, I didn´t find useful the constant zooming of the app. It didn´t allow me to focus on the things I wanted and I wasted a lot of time setting the zoom to see what I needed. Also, It can not edit the images, so i...
COMICS It is great the amount of possibilities Internet can give us to illustrate amazing stories. Today, I´ve used Storyboard. This tool allows the user to create comics freely. It is very easy to use, very intuitive. In general words, you only have to choose a background, select a character and write the comic bubbles. Then, you will have your amazing comic. One thing I´ve liked the most is that it goes straight to the important things. For example, to select a character, it only let you choose the shape of the body, the colours of the skin, hair and eyes and the position of the body. This is great comparting to other apps where you need to select even the slightest detaiil such us the shape of the eyebrows. Thanks to this, Storyboard is fast, adequate and dynamic. Another great thing about this tool is the variety of backgrpunds. There are lots to choose and you can also upload a picture. You can edit it as well , making them bigger, brighter, colourful ,etc. ...
PODCAST We are not used to use ICTs in the music class, but not anymore, here I have a didactic proposal to use a radio programe in our class. Students may record their own podcast and that´s why they will have to use Audacity and Soundcloud AUDACITY It is a great tool to record a radio podcast. It is very intuitive and it is ideal to record one single track. However, there is the option to record more than one track but the edition will not be as fancy as other apps. In my case, I have used Sony ACID, because I needed to combine two tracks (the voice and the music at the back). Morover , I needed to use this program to record the music and to controll the volumenes of both tracks. Using Audacity for this would have been more than hard. SOUNDCLOUD Later, they will have to upload their recordings to Soundcloud. It is the perfect tool to store their recordings as it is simple to use and the files are well organised. You can find the class playlist CREATING NE...
