Today I would like to make a brief review of all the activities I have done during the last four months. To be honest 6 months ago I did not have much idea about ICT. Thanks to this subject I have known different applications to use in my classes.
To organize all the content of this post I created a presentation using Genial.ly. Here you are the link to the presentation.
Once the presentation was made, I edited a video to explain each of the activities I have done. To do this, I used Screencast-o-matic, a software that allows you create videos of your screen.
After that, I uploaded the video to Youtube. Here you can visit the video.
Finally, I have shared my work with all my colleagues through Twitter.
1.1. CREATING A LEARNING JOURNAL. BLOGGER.
The first thing that I did is created a learning journey to share all the knowledge with people. To do this I used Blogger a blog-publishing service that allows multi-user blogs.
To create an AVATAR I used a tool called Toontastic. Once the presentation was made, I edited a video to explain each of the activities I have done. To do this, I used Screencast-o-matic, a software that allows you create videos of your screen.
After that, I uploaded the video to Youtube. Here you can visit the video.
Finally, I have shared my work with all my colleagues through Twitter.
WHAT I HAVE LEARNT?Finally! I have already finished my artifact! Here you will be able to check all the ICT activities! I hope you like it! ICT FINAL PROJECT https://t.co/1iYCwaLV3k vía @YouTube— Victor (@wylmito) 3 de mayo de 2018
TASK 1: FIRST THINGS FIRST.
The first thing that I did is created a learning journey to share all the knowledge with people. To do this I used Blogger a blog-publishing service that allows multi-user blogs.
With Toontastic you can draw, animate, and narrate your own avatar. It’s as easy as play. Just move your characters around on the screen, tell your story, and Toontastic records your voice and animations and stores it on your device as a 3D video. Toontastic is a powerful and playful way to create interstellar adventures, breaking news reports, video game designs, family photo albums, and anything else you might imagine! I think it is a great software to use in your lessons.
TASK 2: RESPECT FOR AUTHORSHIP.
2.1. CREATIVE COMMONS.
Creative Commons licenses provide an easy way to manage the copyright terms that attach automatically to all creative material under copyright. I created a Creative Commons License (CCL) for my blog.
2.2. IMAGE ATTRIBUTION FOR A CLIL LESSON. In this task, I planned a CLIL lesson to study the animals. In order to use some pictures in our classrooms we needed to know how to license and recognize the authorship. I used Pixaby access to the images needed.
3.1. CONTENT CURATION: Content curation is the process of gathering information relevant to a particular topic or area of interest. To do this I used Pinterest. However, there are more apps to do this kind of activities such as Symbaloo and List.ly.
I decided to use Pinterest because I used in the past for different tasks, so I already knew it. It is a great app to use with your children.
TASK 3: CONTENT CURATION AND DISSEMINATION.
I decided to use Pinterest because I used in the past for different tasks, so I already knew it. It is a great app to use with your children.
3.2. TWITTER: TWITTERING A TINY STORY.
This resource offers many possibilities to work in an educational way. I had to use Twitter to create a Tiny Story! It was so fun because nobody knew the end of the story. We enjoyed a lot! I think it could be a great resource to use in my lessons!
TASK 4: THINK, DESIGN, AND PRESENT.
4.1. EDUCATIONAL SLIDESHOWS. In this task, I created a slideshow presentation to work on the animals topic. To do this I used the tool called Genial.ly. To be honest, I did not know this tool but today I can say that I really love it! You can create different things such as posters, presentations, infographics, and videos.
Its great to use with your children! After that, I recorded my presentation and I uploaded it to Youtube.
TASK 5: VISUALISE AND SHARE.
5.1. SHARING STORIES THROUGH COMICS: I created a comic to work the emotions. I tried to recreate a very common situation for our students, the stress suffered when you are the only person who can do some activity in a proper way. I used Pixton to create the comic. It is a fun app to make a quick comic strip in a matter of minutes. I love this tool because you can choose your character´s gender, hair color, facial features and more. However, unlike other comic makers, you can´t physically draw an image.
5.2. USING MINDMAPS IN CLASS. Mindmaps are a very effective method to extract and memorize information. To create my mindmap I used a collaborative online mind mapping software, MindMeister. It is too easy to use. Students of all ages can utilize it to study more efficiently. The only thing that you need is a google account and internet connection. People can use this app because it's too easy to use.
5.3. USE OF DIGITAL INFOGRAPHICS IN THE CLASSROOM. Infographics are a very visual way of representing and transmitting knowledge through the net. To create mine I used PiktoChart.
It is a web-based infographic application which allows users without intensive experience as graphic designers to easily create infographics and visuals using themed templates.
The infographic is related to the area of Natural Science. Through this file, our students had a visual and quick way, information about some of the recycling data of different European countries. The top 5 recycling countries in Europe are Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Norway, and Austria.
Our students could also study the different colors used in recycling (green, blue, yellow and orange) and how recycling works.
Finally, I included some materials and the time they take to disappear. Thank this presentation we could make our students aware of the importance of recycling.
TASK 6: BROADCAST IT!
6.1. PODCASTING. The first step to create a podcast is to plan the script for the audio project. To do this, I used GoogleDoc. Then I had to record the audio, and finally, I had to upload to a platform called SoundCloud. This tool was amazing, you can share your audios and your playlist with everybody just for free!
TASK 7: FLIP IT!
7.1. Storyboard a video project. Thanks this activity children discovered the problems that Climate change and Global warming produce in our world. The video shows some examples in different places. I made it in groups (my group: Alex, Andrés, Ying, Jessy and me).
We used Storyboardthat, a digital tool that you can use to create a storyboard easily. After that, we have created a draft, using Google Doc, an application which was already mentioned in a previous entry.
7.2. 1, 2, 3... ACTION. To do this activity, we went to the INTEF to record our video. It was a very useful activity for me because I had never used croma. Later we edit our video using Sony Vegas, a software to edit videos.
7.3. #twima8. THE WORLD IS MY AUDIENCE. I participated in a collaborative international project, telling my experience in London. It is great to take part of something bigger and share my story with other people around the world.
7.3. COMPULSORY ONLINE ATTENDANCE TO WEBINAR.
I attended a webinar ( a live web-based video conference ) about e-learning. It was carried out by one of my professors, María Jesús García San Martín, a great professional who is focused on ICT. The name of the webinar was Mobile learning and digital competence for education.
Through this webinar, I could learn different things related to the Digital Competence for Education.
There is a platform called "Aprende INTEF" where teachers could enroll in many of courses to learn online. This platform has a portfolio, where you can save and check the competences and the courses that you have. There are 6 levels of digital competence, similar to the language European levels: A1-A2-B1-B2-C1-C2.This organization offers Mook, Nook, and Spook Courses. The main difference between them is the time and the flexibility. In all these courses, you can get badges to complete the Back Pack of your Portfolio. The tool designed to prove your digital competence. She also talked about Edupills, I started some courses to develop the Digital Competence. They are very easy and useful.
MY SELF REFLECTION.
Before saying goodbye I would like to give you my opinion on this subject.

MY SELF REFLECTION.
Before saying goodbye I would like to give you my opinion on this subject.
To be honest, I think I have learned many things related to ICT. At the beginning of the course, my knowledge about ICT was basic. Now I am able to use different resources in order to enrich my lessons.
However, I think that I have to continue with my formation. For this reason, I will complete the different course that we can find in INTEF. It is great for me because I can complete it step by step, little by little.
I have enjoyed a lot doing most of the activities. And the best point is that I have learned too.
Finally, I would like to thank my teacher Maria Jesús García San Martín for her patience with me. She has solved all my doubts.
Thanks a lot! I hope you like it!
