International Projects

In collaboration with many countries around the world, I have participated in these projects.

Moodle MOOC 6

(7th May 2015)

This bi-annual event takes place twice a year (on November and May) and his aim is to show online resources for active learning such as Moodle, WizIQ, Movenote and PresentMe among others.

Participants have the pleasure to meet professors and lectures from all over the globe. This time, my partners from my master's degree and I had the pleasure to be part of the speakers too! That was a real pleasure!

We took times to talk about our eBooks but some of my partners couldn't speak because of the audio, it was a pitty! However, people could see part of our job and to share it was really worth it.

Finally, I'd like to thank you Mª Jesús García San Martín (our teacher) for bringing us this opportunity and because without her Music is Fun! would not have become real.

My ICT's Learning Journey

(2nd May 2015)

Hi! Do you wanna hear my voice?

To accomplish the final mission of our Master's degree we had to summarize all our work in a Presentation. I made it with VoiceThread and I could record my voice. It was like coming back to the Radio, where once I worked.

Hope you like it!

The World is My Audience

(20th April 2015)

To dream or not to dream?... Can DREAMS COME TRUE? With The TWIMA Project YES!

This is a very exciting project in which many students around the world have the opportunity to write down their own dreams. After a first step, where all the dreams are reunited in a book, begins the challenging part. In this second step, you have to choose a dream from another student and turn it into an interactive media.

The result: your own dream has come true thanks to a person from the other side of the planet! =)

MY CONTRIBUTION

Thanks to the Master's degree I'm attending, my peers and I had this great opportunity. In this link you can read our written dreams (mine at page 32).

Then we had to choose a dream among 270! All of them were amazing, but finally I chose one from a student, Trinaty, from Ohio (USA) because her dream was to be a teacher and so do I.

I decided to make a comic and the tool I chose is Pixton: loads of resources, characters you can designed as you wish, plenty of backgrounds, user friendly...was pretty easy to work with it! So, this is the result:

Now, I'm really looking forward to see my dream (and the dreams of my classmates of course!)

Spring Blog Festival

Last Saturday, 21st March , I had the pleasure to attend which were my firsts online lessons with my classmates from our master’s degree on bilingual education at University Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid (can join us at #ictclil_urjc).

The first presentation I could attend was the one from our teacher, María J.García San Martín. Under the title ‘From eBookEVO to CLIL eBooks’, we were able to realize how much we are learning with her in our masters. It has been only two months but as she showed we have been doing many interesting things, knowing new applications (free, the majority of them) and learning how to deal with them too. Learning by connecting and sharing knowledge, projects or blogs it is one of the purposes I value more from this presentation.

Right after María Jesús conference came Joanna
Norton’s. It was a real pleasure to meet her and
her ideas. The title of the presentation was
‘Creative Pedagogy and mobile education’ and
she could give us lots of resources for our lessons
I could have never imagined. Taking pictures is
a trendy thing nowadays and Joanna knows how
to take advantage of this. In one of the activities
she showed, students took pictures around them
in order to write a word where every photo
represents one letter, it was amazing. Another

activity was to show out of focus pictures to
make students predict about new concepts.
Finally, what I liked most from this presentation is
the student-centred learning, an important task
in the 21st Education.

By the end of the day we could see Stephen
Downes’s presentation, it was nice to meet him.
His presentation was about how the content come
to us nowadays and how is changing the global learning system. Moreover, he gave us some handy applications that are free download and that can be useful for us.

As a conclusion, I may say it was a real great experience sharing knowledge with professionals from all over the world and we were so lucky for have been participating in the Spring Blog Festival. Big thanks to the event organisers.
