Women's Week Project!

-

 Hi there, welcome to the Women's week! We are in Project of the Week and each week we work on different topics. In 6th grade the project of this week is about inportant and influential Women during History. I will be opening the new project with a podcast! have you ever heard a podcast? There are many podcast in different online platforms such as Spotify, SoundCloud... 


In this case, I have created a podcast using SoundCloud to introduce you the project of this week: inportant and influential women during history. The project's aim will be to research about important woman in a specific area such as arts, sports, science, cinema, fashion... The students will be gathered into groups of 3-4 people, each group will have a specific field: arts, science, sports, literature, medicine... Therefore, each group will be attached to an area, and they will have to research about a woman in their field. For example, if the field is medicine, the group will have to find a woman that has contributed to the field of medicine or a woman that has been very inportant in that field. 


So, after having collected information about a woman, the work of the students will be the following oneour work what would it be? To research about a woman of our field and then do two things:
    • Create a podcast of 1-2 minutes about the woman you have chosen.
    • Make a presentation in class to expose the others your woman.

Bellow you can see the guide I have prepared in order to prepare this podcast and activities for the students.



Below you can find the podcast I have created and my channel if you want to check my following podcasts. Have fun!

Women's week (CC BY 4.0)

The podcast I have created to introduce this project was made with Audacity and uploaded in SoundCloud. Here you can see how Audacity is and how does it work. 


Audacity is a very good tool to edit your podcast as it is very easy. As you can see in the image above, there are so many options for the audio, effects... It has been easy for me to work on with Audacity.

SoundCloud is an app and a website where you can upload audios that can be distributed and shared. Not only can they be shared but you can also create group playilists to share with your students audios or even track themselves podcasts. There are several advantages regarding the use of SoundCloud to our academic purposes:
  • Is a free platform, so everyone can use it.
  • There is a wide variety of audios, playlist, tracks, podcast that you might find useful.
  • The option for creating online groups gives teachers a huge opportunity to share wih our students something with a different tool.
  • You can create as much playlist as you want. You can create playlists depending on the gender or the author. It's amazing!
  • It has a wide variety of music sessions, songs, playlists, podcast to hear that is really engaging.

Hope to hear your podcasts soon! Bye!

The use of images in our lessons!

  Visuals and images are a great tool to catch sudents' attention and to increase motivation. As teacher we tend to upload and use different photos that we find in the Internet. But as you might not know, the photos that are sailing through the Internet has a owner/owners. Consequently, not only we have to give credit to the people that made the photo, but also is good to know the type of license of the photo. There are several websites where you can find hundreds of photos, such as Pixabay or Flickr . Since I know how does Creative Commons work, now I can give credit to the author of the image and also know when and where can I use that photo due to the licences. In the next lines I will explain and describe briefly a CLIL lesson activity with selected images from the Internet, giving credit to the authors and using the licences correctly. The activity will be about vertebrates and invertebrates animals. The teacher will introduce the topic by showing the students some images tha...

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 shou...
