Edmodo

Edmodo is a VLP (Virtual Learning Platform) very useful to teachers or schools that can't afford paying to have their own VPL. Throughout the course I discover Google Classroom, which seemed to be very similar, but as I discivered later on, it is connected with Google suites and only schools can have it.

With Edmodo, you can have a free and independent VLP to interact with your students.

I've created a VLP for the Fun for Movers exam, with different things the students can do to improve in the exercises they will have to face when they take the exam.

 One of the things I like most from this tool is the possibility of programming your posts in advance, because you can create an outline and then, add more things depending on your students' interests or needs.

You can join my class using this code.

Final reflecction 1

In this first part, we were presented with different tools to use online. Some of them were familiar to me, for example, I already knew about Quizlet, because I used it as a student, so it was good to use it as a teacher, I mean to create the exercises myself, and see the possibilities it has, and not using it with the topic someone else created for their students to practise and learn. Another tool I knew about was Blogger, as in other subjects we have worked with it, apart from a course I took several years ago where I learnt quite a lot of things about blogger and I started my own blog , although I stopped posting 3 years ago, due to the lack of readers and time to create content. However, I have used blogger lately but in the private version of it to share some content that I didn't want to be public to everyone, only to some people, as it was related to my job. One of the most useful things of this first part of the course, as a student, was the use of Mendeley. Altho...

Final PLE

Imagen
This my final PLE There are lots of things in there, some of them could have also been in the initial one, but I didn't realise how useful they were, and how without noticing I use them to learn, like for exampl,s Social Networks, which sometimes have interesting information to apply in a classroom, or information about my interests. Also it has tools that we used during the course, like Kahoot, Quizizz, Animoto,..., tools I will use in my life as a teacher, but that are also helpful for me as a student. Some of these would have been very useful in previous years,  In this picture you can see the sites grouped -VLP:   MiAulario-UPNA , FutureLearn , Edmodo  and Google Classroom -Vídeo Tools:  Animoto ,  Mysimpleshow ,  Powtoon -Blog creation:  Blogger  and  WordPress -Mindmap tools:  Coggle ,  Mindup 2 ,  Mindomo  and  Mindmeister -Resources&citing: Dialnet and Mendele...

Podcast

Another very useful thing we learnt in this course is how to create podcasts. Podcasts are very interesting because they can be listen to in the computer, mp3, tablets, and as teacher if we tell students to do something else, we can assess if their oral comprehension is good or not. Apart from that we can use a tool like Podomatic to make them create a podcast, which can be very useful too and that can engage them into speaking in English to create it and also to be more careful with their pronunciation. My podcast  is named "Change Hugo's face for the film". In this podcast the students have to listen to it and draw the face that Hugo has at the end of it. This way the students will listen to something but also they will perform something and as they have to colour and draw can be very funny and entretaining for them. The podcast was made reading a text by Robinson and Saxby (2010) Robinson, A. and Saxby, K. (2010) Fun for movers. Cambridge: Cambridge Univer...
