Farewell

It is said that when some things end other things begin, and this is the end of our course 😢. I have enormously enjoy this journey despite I do not get on well with technology. However, I have enjoyed and learned a lot during the tasks and activities done. I have acquired knowledge not only about ICT and its correct use, but also a lot of ICT resources that will be very useful and interesting in class. I will undoubtedly use th resources and tools we have been working on, I really like them all!  It is true that I have faced some difficulties and even problems during the tasks, but I think a challenge is the best way to learn and acquire something, if it requires a harder effort.  As a summarize I have created a Genially explaining briefly and showing the work I have done during this course, I hope you like it! 😊 In this genially you can click on the "+" buttom to go to the part you want to read.

  Hi again! How is your week going? DO you remember our last activity about a Storyboard? How was it? Did you enjoy creating the storyboard? Now let's go to the next activity: create a video clip. I am sure that you have seen a video in Youtube or any other platfrom for educative purposes.  After you do the storyboard, you should record a video that tells the same story as the Storyboard. You can record yourselves and act out, or you can create other type of video, just like my group and I did. We created a video that was created with Powtoon . Powtoon is a tool where you can create presentations, videos and other tools easily. The video is related to women's work recognition. Here you have our video: This video will be for 6th graders in Science subject. Regarding Powtoon, is a ver useful tool that gives you the opportunity to create creative and original content. However, I had trouble with the objects that where on the slides, I could not move them to a different place. Yo

Hello again! The last activity we worked on was the podcast, how was it? Did you enjoy doing the podcast? What difficulties did you have when doing it? In this entry I will introduce you our next activity: create a video. This video will be educational and we will be working on something related to Education. But first of all, we have to organise our ideas about the video. After having the ideas well organised, we will have to create a storyboard about the video. You can see in my entry about Creating Comics  where I explain how Storyboard works. This storyboard will reflect the characters, ideas, scenes and dialogues that will happen in the video afterwards.  My group and me have created a Storyboard about stories of diferent women whose work has not being recognised or attributed to them. So, linked to the women's week that we attended in our las activity, we wanted to keep working on this topic. This is our storyboard: Hecho con     This storyboard is a shout to all the wo

Hi everyone! Welcome to our special week. We are celebrating the week of THE WOMAN and today related with Arts and Crafts we are going to know a woman that had influenced the style of surrealism as well as causing effects on other styles. This incredible woman is Elena Ivanovna Diakonova. You might not know this name but I am sure that Gala Dalí will be more familiar than that.  This woman was not only the muse of thousands of painters but also she was the coauthor of Dali's project. She was behind thousands of pieces of Dali, but the only difference was that her name was not on the paintings. However, was not until 1950s when Dali started signing the paintings as Gala-Dalí. There are thousand of women that their work was not recognised enough or even recgonized. That is why I found extremely inportant to raise awareness about giving recognition to women that worked as much or more as other men. So, without going any further, I wanted to mention that there are several webistes and

Creating comics

I have always loved comics! I used to read comics about superheroes when I was little, but now that I'm an adult I can create them!  There are several apps that you can use in order to create a comic, but in this case I h ave used Storyboard website to create it.  In Storyboard you can create comics of one or more slides. When you log in in the website, you can create a comic, when you create a new comic, the screen looks like this: As you can see on the top of the website in the left, we have the settings of the comic where you can choose the character you want to use, the scenes of the comic and much more things that you can see in this photo: Whereas at the bottoom of the website we can find some buttons about the structure and settings of the comic itself. You can see the options in the photo below: I have found this website really interesting and diverse as you can make a lot of changes; there are a lot of different scenes that you can use as a background, there are thousands
