Do you know your neighbourhood?

Another CLIL e-project coming from URJC is coming today. It is called 'Do you know your neighborhood?'

It is a collaborative e-project carried out by a team of Pre-Service Teachers in the Master’s Degree of Bilingual Education at URJC.

The team is composed by:
@Alvaro_Gope, @Marta_Gayarre, @22paau, @maradominguezgo and @nepeusp.

They want to introduce their e-project throughout the infographic they have elaborated using the tool called 'Canva'. The aim of the infographic is that students know how the projects work through visual support and the augmented reality of Aurasma.

From their point of view,  it is important as teachers to bear in mind the benefits that the use of infographics for our students has. It allows them to learn better and it has a lot of positive effects for those whose learning style is visual.

As regards the tool they used, 'Canva', it has a lot of resources in order to create an infographic. However, only few things are free, but the tool allows you to create your own template. In their group, they decided to create their own design and the final result is great!

They strongly recommend to use it!

Learning about the body & senses with ICT

Today we are sharing an educational infographic aimed at learning about the body and the senses for Primary CLIL education.

This infographic has been designed by a team of students at the URJC working on a CLIL e-project called Body and senses. It is a collaborative e-project carried out in the Master’s Degree of Bilingual Education.

They want to introduce their e-project throughout the infographic they have elaborated using the tool called “Piktochart”. The main aim of it is to provide our third graders with a visual support of the main task they are going to do. 

From these pre-service teachers' point of view, the use of infographics is a great resource to be included in the classroom since it eases the understanding of the instructions and it fosters the learning-teaching process. In this light, both teacher and students can take advantage of this fantastic webtool.

Related with the tool they used, “Piktochart”, they believe that it is a great e-tool which allows us to create engaging infographics in order to present projects and other kinds of visual presentations. It offers many features, backgrounds, icons, pictures and templates to personalise work as the customization is much nicer and it provides a dynamic experience rather than using traditional resources. Moreover, you can upload your own images, video, maps and modify them. 

It is a great free resource, available online so everybody can use it only by signing up - freely, too. For these reasons, they highly recommend Piktochart due to its simplicity and usefulness. 

Have a look at their infographic on the following link:

The whole team hope you like it!

The Earth's Adventures

We are sharing a new outcome by a team from the Master's degree in Bilingual Education at Primary Education Schools at the Rey Juan Carlos University. In their subject related to use of ICT in the CLIL classroom, they were asked to participate in this InfoEduGraphic project by their teacher, and here are the results: For this task they had to work in groups to create an InfoEdufoGraphic. The members of this group are: @lainez_ortega, @cristinarisueno, @GMEstrellaa and @gonzaalo10. To do this they surfed the InfoEduGraphic Project Site to look for tips, instructions and ideas. 

Since all their e-projects (Planets in the Solar System, The Hydrosphere, Environmental care, The Mysteries of Earth) are connected with Social Science (planets, Earth, landscapes and so forth), they decided to make an infographic as an introductory tool for a common topic. Their main learning outcome is for their students to know about the planets of the Solar System, The Earth`s layers (Hydrosphere and atmosphere) and landforms as well as environmental care.

Let's learn about Animals

Today we are sharing an augmented educational infographic shared by a team of pre-service Primary Teachers from URJC:

This augmented infographic has been designed with Piktochart first and then augmented with Aurasma. In order to reveal the hidden augmented educational value, these teachers have placed detailed instructions for students to be able to accomplish the challenge. Do not hesitate to follow their public channel at Aurasma and discover it yourself too.

This team, working on a CLIL e-project for Primary Education at the moment, claim that

'Working with infographics is a very illustrative way to show our students whatever we want as teachers of primary education. Any content of any subject could be taught through a project with Infographics.

For us, while we were doing this challenge, we realised that working on "Infographics" is a very helpful way to summarize in a visual way any content.'

How to create your own timeline

Today we are sharing an infographic by a group of students at the Rey Juan Carlos University in Madrid. They want to collaborate in our project as part of their ICT subject within the Master's Degree on CLIL and Primary Education they are currently doing. 

They are working on a collaborative CLIL e-project about History, so they want to share with us the infographic they have created for students to design their own online timeline. 

For this purpose they have decided to use Piktochart, which they think is a great tool to create infographics easily. They claim this online web tool allows people to use images, icons, backgrounds, different text formats and templates and whatever they like to add. The result is amazing and the best thing: everything is free! 

Here you are their digital outcome:

This infographic is aimed at a CLIL history lesson in which students will be able to design an online timeline on their own. Since they will be doing something autonomously they will learn the content while they enjoy working with ICT.

Olympic Games in Europe

Travelling around Europe is the name of the CLIL collaborative e-project a team of Master's Degree Pre-Service teachers are developing these days at URJC.

Meet them through their Twitter handles or visit their portfolios:

María Dolores Berral Raya @lolaberralraya 'Experiencing being a bilingual teacher'.

María Inmaculada Caballero Torres @teacher_inma 'CLIL with teacher Inma'.  

Ana Martín Vincent @ana_mv9 'Learning with Ana'

Natalia Menchón Rodriguez @Nataliamenchon 'ICT + CLIL Useful Learning'

Elena Ortiz Martin  @elena_ormar 'Learning About ICT in Bilingual Teaching'

Victor Rodriguez Sanchez @VictorodRS 'Education is the beginning'

As part of this e-project they want to introduce the infographic they have elaborated with a key aim: providing their students with guidance to tackle one of the tasks within the full e-project.

They consider an infographic as a visual representation of data. In the one they are presenting, you can see follow up directions about the task they expect their Third Grade students to tackle.  They believe that this is a good resource for both teachers and students.

In their opinion Piktochart, the e-tool they have chosen, is the perfect tool to create attractive infographics, and presentations or reports for their lessons. Among its features they highlight the templates, backgrounds, graphics and different types of fonts. When one finishes one's design, one can also download it in different formats or share it.  They claim they cannot think of any disadvantage since they consider that it worked fantastic and allowed them to develop their digital outcome without any problem.

As they have mentioned before, teachers can use infographics for many purposes in lessons. For instance, to support learners with special needs, as an infographic allows the teacher to present information in a more visual way; or to clarify those concepts that are usually more difficult to understand. Furthermore, due to its ease of use, students can  use it too.  For example they could use it to summarize their learning. In this way, apart from revising one subject content they would also have the possibility to practise their ICT skills!

Química industrial en el IES Isaac Newton de Madrid

Beatriz Jiménez profesora de Física y Química en el IES Isaac Newton (Madrid), nos ha mandado un excelente trabajo y  nos ha comentado que;

 Hace unos meses nos apuntamos al proyecto para que los alumnos de 1º Bachillerato crearan infografías. Tratan del tema de química industrial: producción de ácido sulfúrico, ácido nítrico, hierro y amoniaco. Es un tema bastante árido, por lo que dividí a la clase en grupos para que cada uno se encargara del esquema de la obtención de uno de estos productos químicos.

La experiencia ha sido bastante positiva. Con la información de vuestra web los alumnos han sido totalmente autónomos a la hora de realizar las infografías. Han usado diversas herramientas y han captado la idea general de lo que es una infografía. En lino.it han recopilado las 11 infografías.

Cada grupo realizó una infografía,
