Plickers & Kahoot

Después de escuchar a muchos docentes en activo y de poder comprobarlo en mi propia piel, puedo admitir algo que estaba bien claro sin siquiera investigarlo: la escuela necesita transformación.

Y no me refiero al tipo de centro en sí, que tal vez necesitase un reajuste, sino a las metodologías que los profesores llevan utilizando durante siglos y no se han decidido a abandonar. 

Hoy os traigo una novedad que os resultará muy interesante para trabajar en vuestras clases y que está a la orden del día, es decir, se ajusta a la escuela del siglo XXI. 

CLIL, una ayuda para la clase de inglés

En este post hablaremos del programa CLIL ya que se trata de una herramienta de la que nos podemos beneficiar los profesores de inglés y para la que se necesita la colaboración del departamento de lenguas de los centros que deciden utilizarla.

Practising balance at PE

Aloha teachers!!

Today I'd like to tell you something I get attracted from the school during my teacher training course this year.

I'm quite interested in sliding sports, such as surfing, snowboarding, skating... And I like training my balance when I can't practise these sports.

What time is it?

Hello teachers!!

I've remembered how difficult it was teaching time to our children last month when we started with the first class.

Mixing letters

Good morning everyone!

I'd like to talk about an usual problem at class, mixing letters. When they are learning the alphabet, they use to mix up certain letters by pars: 

p and q

g and q

l and I

b and d

Education City

Aloha friends!

Today I'd like to talk to you about something I found interesting at the school where I am taking my teacher training.

This is Education City, a website where children can work on-line about any subject as an assignment. This is full of interactive learning materials that are sold to schools or families.

Flipped Classroom

Hello there!

Today I want to show you a new teaching method to be taken at class. This technique is winning place in Europe and we worked on it in the past Comenius Week at Catholic University of Valencia. This is one innovator, active and enjoyable ICT resource.

This is called Flipped Classroom (FC). This term was said by two Chemistry teachers from Colorado that decided to promote a method for those students who have lost some lessons. 

In this board you can see a comparative between a traditional classroom timing and a flipped one.
