 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!

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.

 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 Sy...
