My symbaloo for this school year 2013/14.

Here you can find the links to every web, tool, app, blog, game etc that I have used for my classes along this school year.

inteRActive MAP

Last Saturday we went to Peñaranda de Bracamonte (CITA) to present our lastest project which is called "inteRActive MAP" in the I Encuentro de usuarios de Smartphones and tables en educación. It was a fantastic experience, three of my students from 2nd ESO and I explained how to create QR codes and Augmented Reality. We use the following apps: QR-droid and Aurasma in our mobile phones and Unitag and Aurasma Studio in our laptops.

If you look at this map of the UK and the Republic of Ireland you can see QR codes and images; if you scan the codes and the images you can see more than that:
- the green QR codes hide the name of a city and the population of this city.
- the red QR codes hide the name of the capitals and their population.
- the biggest QR codes hide audios telling the experience of some of my students in UK last summer.
- the images hide videos about the monuments, culture, music etc.
And also we have a book of the most important writers in English language, we used Calaméo to transform a powerpoint into a digital book.
Scan this QR and the image with your mobile phone and you find out what is in each one, you will be surprised:

Scan the code with QR-droid. You can see the biography of important writers like: Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Virginia Woolf, Arthur Conan Doyle, George Orwell, J.R. Tolkien and J.K. Rowling.

Scan the image with Aurasma. This is a video of London Tourist Office to promote the London Eye.





Today our video has been published in the Revista Digital de la Junta de Castilla y León.

Have a look at the video:

Storytelling.

Storybird is a platform for writers, readers, and artists of all ages.  Storybird is one of the         world´s largest storytelling communities. This webpage allows your students to have fun reading and creating their own story. It is easy, very easy to write a story or a poem and you can get very nice pictures. Everything is free you have to sign up as a student or as a teacher. Other people can write comments on your story. It is awesome!!

Interactive Book.

"Didapages" is a very useful tool to create your own interactive book. You have to download it on your computer then you can design your book and finally you can upload  it into google sites and get an url to insert in your blog. 
My students of 4th of ESO have designed it to commemorate the International Women´s Day on 8th March. I´m sure you will like it. It was a really hard job!!!


Click on the picture and the book will open then read the texts about famous important English and American Women and drag your mouse on the answer to find out if you are right or wrong.

Prezi Presentations.

In this PREZI presentation we have used some of the tools I have already mentioned in previous posts. Prezi is more dynamic than Powerpoint and you can work on line together with other people so you can use it for collaborative work.
 Some of my students from different groups have written a description of our classroom first and then a description of their bedroom. Here you can find a simple written  essay and an oral reading of our classroom description. In addition you can see nice pictures of their bedrooms and some photosynth views.
