Mindmaps...

Image
 Heeeeeey! How is it going? Welcome to another post  I just want to tell you a great presentation tool you can use during lessons! The tool is the use of MINDMAPS .   This wonderful tool is an image of different elements which helps you to present the information in an easy way for the students. That is, explaining a project that is going to be carried out in the class in a more visual way . Using mindmaps in education is a brilliant tool because help students memorize information effortlessly because all the information is ramified and connected with other concepts related to the main content. There are several online tools for creating these mindmaps. Some of the websites are: - Mind42 - Bubbl.us - Creately  In addition, there are collaborative mindmaps in which your students can collaborate and create a mindmap altogether! Does not that sound great? Some of the websites are: -  Coggle -  Mindmeister Time to show you my  first mindmap !  I have decided to try using Creately websit

 Hello! Welcome to another post   Today I am going to show you a creative tool for using in learning class. With this tool, you will become an expert in storytelling because I am going to explain to you how to create  comics . Comics are a great visual representation of knowledge and they can be useful for multiple purposes. Depending on the specific purpose you have plenty of possibilities to create. Some of the most popular websites to create comics are: - Prixton - Creaza -  StoryboardThat At first, it can be very exhausting because you have to start by choose among billion possibilities of backgrounds, characters, actions, and emotions, but don't worry, this is the toughest step. Take your necessary time to do it  (I spent more than two hours only looking and selecting specific things!)  After that, you can start creating your comic!  The funny thing is that the students will participate more and they increase their thinking, creating and writing skills.     Students can exper

Content curation...

 Hey! What's up! Welcome to another post.  Have you ever heard about the word  INFOXICATION ?  Yes, we as teachers have to create a wide range of content elements , and we always want to be as more creative as possible, so we spend hours and hours looking for information on the Internet until our brain says stop and gets veeeery exhausted. For this reason, we have to treat content, that is, content curation .  I am going to use Symbaloo  website because I consider it keeps all the information you have organized in a clear layout. It is very interesting because it looks like the desktop you have on your computer! The amazing thing about this website is that you can collect all the most important information you consider as a teacher, and you can create some folders in which you can access this information and check it when you need it without spending hours looking on the Internet!  Sounds wonderful right?   I am going to attach my personal Symbaloo screen below, in which you

I introduce you my personal avatar . I made it on BITMOJI Do you want to create your own avatar? Just click HERE or... HERE ! INTERESTING... RIGHT? I think there are multiple advantages to use this avatar in education, both as a teacher and with your students. First of all, I think that you let people guess more or less how is your personality, your hobbies, your favourite colours... I mean, is a way to introduce yourself in an indirect way to others.  Apart from that, you  start getting to know each of your students and their likes, their favourite things... I mean, by just looking at the avatar, you discover several things about the other person. The funny thing is... you can personalize as you want! You can create yourself, starting by taking a selfie if you prefer your avatar looks the same as you or... if you want to be more creative like me... you go for it! Apart from that, I think to have an avatar motivate students to use it as a sticker in all their online projects, and the
