Hello everyone! How are you?
Today I am going to tell you about everything I have learned
in the ICTs subject in the bilingual master's degree.
The first thing we did was to create a learning diary, a blog to
write on it everything we were going to learn, reflect there our thoughts about
the resources we had use, and tell what we like and what do not like about them , and also decide if we would use it in our classes.
Moreover, we created an avatar with bitmoji to represent us but
protecting our identity.
After that, we learned about creative commons. We have learned what is a creative common , how to
license our work and how to use other authors’ work appropiately . In
my opinion, this is one of the most
important things that I have learned in
this subject , because you can be doing something illegal without even knowing
it and there are a lot of people that still
doing it.
Furthermore we learned how to do effective search in google and we
learned how to curate content with pinterest. I already knew this tool because
I have been using it since a long time. In my opinion it is very useful to organise
your ideas and now I am using Pinterest for educational purposes.
In addition, we opened a twitter account to tweet and
interact with other peers.
Some time ago I had an account, so I already knew how to use
twitter . What I like most about twitter is that you are immediately informed
of the latest news and you can also follow educational and official accounts
that informs you about courses and other important data.
After that, we learn how to create attractive support lesson
sideshows. We learn how to use genially
and without doubt this is one of my favourite tools. The possibility to
integrate a great variety of resources such as images, videos, icons, links,
sounds and so on, makes this tool a very useful and motivating resource for our lessons.
Later , we learned how to create comics, mind maps and
infographics. I used pixton
to create a comic and I really enjoy the
results. This is also one of my favourite tools and I am 100 per cent sure that I am going to use
this with my students.
I
also created a mindmap with mindmeister. What I found interesting about this
app is that it is collaborative , therefore everyone can contribute with their own ideas.
I had never created an infographic
before but with the Esel.ly I found it very easy and entertaining.
Moreover , I created a podcast
channel and my fist podcast with ivoox . For me this was the most difficult and
time consuming task, because it was not easy learning to use audacity to add
the background music, however I really like the final result.
Then , Irene and I planned a
video step by step and then we recorded it. The app stop motion studio made
this process easy and in my opinion it is very motivating for our students.
Regarding the app flipgrid, it is honestly the one that I liked the least, but it can be interesting
now for distance education.
I have really enjoy discovering new
tools,in just a few months we have learned to handle many tools.
