Technological resources

Powtoon is a tool that allows us to create animated videos with multiple options regarding visualization and sound. In my opinion, it is a tool that requires a little training but can be very useful. Below I attach a Powtoon of my own creation aimed at working on emotions and feelings in English in the first years of Primary Education. https://www.powtoon.com/ws/eYm1AvmyPDe/1/m

As well as using my own Kahoot creations I have also used numerous Kahoots created by other people. Attached in this blog post the latest Kahoot created by other users. It works how to tell the time in English and I have used it throughout this month in my practice class.  https://create.kahoot.it/share/a2-a2-telling-the-time/ec8dcfa7-8a09-4747-9138-72dc363b2315

Another tool for creating educational resources is Kahoot . Kahoot is a well-known and widely used website in the educational field. As with Genially, I have made numerous creations with Kahoot over the last few years. Below I attach three links to my creations. https://create.kahoot.it/share/choose-the-correct-option-for-ea-h-sentence/422f3bb5-ca62-4e61-aa31-2469baf9f14e This first Kahoot works on verbs in English and I created it for some private classes. https://create.kahoot.it/share/welcome-to-high-school/be8eb095-5b4f-4112-9cff-26828c6053a7 This second link is a general review of English for the beginning of classes. It was created for the same private lessons. https://create.kahoot.it/share/last-day-of-primary-school/e3b6ccd7-e556-4a15-97a0-aad42374a83f Finally, this third Kahoot was created as a final review and closure of the course.

Since as I mentioned in the previous post, Genially seems to me to be a very useful tool, not only do I use it to make my own creations, but I have also used other people's creations. In this post I attach a link to a Genially created by the teacher of a student to whom I give private lessons. The game works in a playful way on the past tense of verbs in English. https://view.genial.ly/5ec25e04ecf6e50d3891b820/game-irregular-verbs-pacman

A tool for creating educational materials based on Web 2.0 is Genially . In my opinion it is a very useful tool since it allows a great interaction with the students. It is a very intuitive platform that allows you to modify practically everything to the taste and needs of the creator.  Over the years that I have been in the educational world I have used it on numerous occasions. Below I add two links of my last two creations using Genially . https://view.genial.ly/622861e7768344001aeab773/interactive-content-present-simple-vs-past-simple This first link corresponds to a Genially that I have used in English classes at my internship school this last month. This creation works out the difference between simple present and simple past through an interactive game. It corresponds to the subject of English. https://view.genial.ly/619d5fb8ae3f760de3ad7e4a/interactive-content-da3 This second link corresponds to a work developed for my Master in Bilingual Education.

In Scratch we can find numerous resources already created that are very useful in the educational world. One of the ones that has caught my attention a lot has been the one that I leave below attached by means of a link. In this creation recycling is worked through a game. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/206240350/ Also, in relation to Natural Sciences and ecosystems, I have been able to find this Scratch that works on habitats.  I have found it very useful and have decided to save it to use it in my Natural Sciences lessons. I Attach the link to this creation. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/452316111/

Since I am currently doing my master's practices, I have made a resource with Scratch that I can implement in class later. Therefore, the resource created talks about ecosystems and is made for Natural Sciences. The video created with Scratch includes interactive questions and four characters. The audio recordings are of my own creation to adapt the vocabulary to the level of my students (5th grade of Primary Education). Below is the link to my Scratch resource. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/667722843
