Storyboarding

Finding Katherine

Hello everyone!

Today I would like to write about a great tool that could help us as teachers. 

Storyboard that is an online tool in which stories can be created. It is divided in frames and scenes. It has a lot of features. You can design your story through a wide range of resources. For instance, the different backgrounds, characters, shapes, timetables, etc. You also are able to upload your own images. I loved the huge number of available resources. I also loved the easy usage. At the very beginning, it was a bit messy, but when you get accustomed to the different resources, it is easy to use it. 

Our storyboard is based on European countries (Social Science). There has been a burglary and the inspector has to find the criminal. The inspector is going to follow the clues and evidences through the different countries. 

During the trip, several remarkable country things will appear. That is to say, capitals, monuments, sculptures, museums, flags, etc. Therefore, teaching all those contents will be our main goal. It will also engage students. I consider that as teachers, we have to involve students into the contents, but in an entertaining way.

This storyboard will be used as introduction to the content.

Here is the link of our storyboard. 

I hope you enjoy it!

My new Audio Project

Hi there.

To start with, I have developed an audio project for social science.

Here you are all the details of it.

Secondly, I would like to share my own experience. To develop my audio project, I used Audacity and Ivoox tools.

On the one hand, to record my podcast, I used Audacity.

Audacity is an online tool through which you can record and edit audios. 

It was the first time that I used it. I believe that is really difficult to use the computer program. There are several tools to edit your audios. For instance, you can upload your own audio sources or songs from youtube. You also can choose different sounds of the own programme.

On the other hand, to upload my podcast, I used Ivoox.

Ivoox is an online platform that enables people to listen to other podcasts, upload, download, and share audios. It was also the first time that I used that great resource.

From my point of view, it is a useful tool. Regarding educational scope, it gives teachers opportunity of sharing and storing several audios. I loved their easy usage.

Here is my podcast and my channel.

I hope you enjoy it.

Digestive system

Easel.ly

Hi friends!

Today, I would like to show you my new digital poster. Maybe, you are wondering, what is a digital poster?

My entry will describe you what it is and how it used the specific tool.

Easel.ly is an online tool through which you can create infographics. In this way, students will learn content, topic or whatever in a visual way. Therefore, students learn better in that it makes complex data easier to understand. It also motivates students to learn. 

Moreover, it avoids dullness in class. 

Images, graphs, objects, etc are powerful resources that help us acquiring information. The main reason is that the brain acquires information more likely through visuals such as images, colours, illustrations, etc. 

Here you have the link of my digital poster. There are some videos, if you click on my picture and click on orange image, you will watch it. https://www.easel.ly/infographic/987q6q 

On the other hand, Easel.ly is a great tool. Templates, objects, images, arrows, graphics, pictograms, files are some of the resources of it. You can also upload your own images or download some of them included in the tool. 

What I liked the most was that there are plenty free templates.

The worst part of the tool is free limited resources. You have to pay if you want to download your infographic. Also, you have to pay if you wish more resources or public your infographic.

The digestive system information is from an educational video.

Finally, I am embed my infographic. I hope you like it.
