I am designing an Epublication in order to teach Science through online activities to students from 5th grade of Primary Education. It is called " Landscapes around the world". Its main objective is to allow students to master information related to landscapes and their main characteristics.
Thanks to this Ebook, students will participate in several projects where they will learn how to use many different online tools to develop their cognitive skills thorugh learning by doing competence.
Thoughout this entry, I will explain to you the steps that I follow in order to create this Epublication.

Introduction
Resources
Here you can see a list of some resources that I will use in this Epublication.I have used Listly because it is an easy and useful tool.
Skeleton
Here you can see a template which compiles all the elements that a teacher must take into account to develop a didactic unit.
InfoEDUgraphic.
Here it is my infographic. I have designed this infoEDUgraphic for grade 5 using Canva. Moreover, I have developed an infoedugraphic because we are going to become part of a fantastic collaborative project with infografías.
Mindmap
I used Cacoo in order to create this mindmap of my didactic unit "Landscapes around the world". I have chosen it because it is very useful and it allows you to include images, text and symbols in a very easy way.
DreamsI have collaborated to #twima2 project. It consisted on two different phases. First, we wrote a dream that it will include in an ibook. Secondly, as more people wrote their dreams, we chose one of them and we have to animate it. It has been a fantastic experience. I have never done it before and now, I want to repeat the experience!!! I have chosen a dream which was written by Jasmine Savage called THAT ONE DREAM. She created a creepy story that caught my attention.It was fantastic to create a video for this fantastic story. At the beginning, I have a lots of doubs because it was not a happy story, It was quite difficult to animate. Finally, I decided to do it! I proved a lot of tools such as Powtoon, tellegami, storyboard...but finally, I decided to choose Animoto because it makes the story more real! I think that I make it more scary on this way. I had a lot of fun doing this project! Thanks a lot for the opportunity! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have done it during its creation! Spring Blog FestivalMY EXPERIENCE IN THE SPRING BLOG FESTIVAL By Cristina Fradejas The last March 21st, I took part in the spring blog festival where a lot of professionals speak about different aspects related to ICT. It was a fantastic experience because it allows you to learn from the best professionals around the world. I do not normally have the opportunity to listen to different experts and it was amazing! I attend to three conferences: Karen Blumberg, María Jesús García and Stephen Downes. I would like to attend to more of them but I could not because of the lack of free time. Karen Blumberg explained the importance of the social networks. It was very interesting because she gave us a lot of information related to the most valuable tools in order to show ourselves as professionals. I would never thought that social networks have so many options. Now that I know, I will try to keep more updated and use the more number of them that I can in order to show who I am and how I work in class. María Jesús explained to the rest of attendees what we are doing in our ICT class: EbookEVO to CLIL ebooks. I could notice that everybody was impressed of our work. I felt very proud of my classmates and me, and of course, of María Jesús. I can say that every time that I use the tools that María Jesús teaches us in class at my work, I see that my students are more motivated than ever. So it is totally recommendable!!!! I am looking forward to participating in another Spring festival as soon as possible! |
