URJC and SGAguilar foster reading and writing skills

At the URJC Master's Degree for The Use of ICT and Digital Resources in Primary Bilingual Education, a team of students is developing an e-project to foster writing and reading skills through the use of ICT with the collaboration of a class of CLIL students at Colegio San Gregorio, thanks to their teacher, @javiramossancha.

Emily, Nuria and Pablo designed and recorded their first set of audio stories in Madrid and they were ever so surprised (and so was I) to see that the kids at #colsangregorio in Palencia had started listening to their productions, so e-connections were spreading.

Today, we are taking a step ahead consolidating this network between CLIL e-students and CLIL e-teachers thanks to the great activity the kids at #colsangregorio have accomplished: the characters for the audio-stories at #ictclil_urjc.

It is wonderful to see how these audio-stories now have colourful characters who tell the stories too! We are really grateful and humbly honoured to see this great outcome!

Thanks ever so much for making this e-project a real CLIL project! This would have never happened without ICT, Twitter, and of course, without Connected Teachers!!!!!

Quoted at KQED Education

For the last months, since February 2014 actually, the students at the URJC Master's Degree for The Use of ICT and Digital Resources in Primary Bilingual Education have been taking part in various DoNow Art and Popular Culture activities, by invitation of @KQEDedspace, as you may have been reading in this blog, which consist of twittering about current affairs posts using the #DoNow_urjc hashtag apart form the DoNow post hashtag itself together with other students worldwide.

After every two weeks, once each Do Now is over, the team from KQEDedspace compile nice Roundups that highlight the most relevent tweets as well as the most outstanding conclusions by the Twitter students participating in the groups.

Well, our participation in the #DoNowArtist activity has been quoted in one of those Roundups, for which we are both very proud and very very thankful.

Read the 'Art Should be Judged Independent of the Artist' Roundup that summarises the 'Can we separate the Artwork from the Artist?' DoNow activity and enjoy our #DoNow_urjc #DoNowArtistStorify embedded in it.

“We should separate the art from the artist like Frank Sinatra. Accused of ties with gangs.”

My most sincere congratulations to my #ictclil_urjc students and my most sincere thanks to @KQEDedspace and Matt Williams for giving us this great chance of interacting with loads of students from all parts of the world.

'As you see, guys, the effort is worth it. Keep it up!'

A Bit Lost - A 3D Pop-Up story

With the help of Dr. Garcia, Book ME Library created a 3D pop-up book based on the book "A Bit Lost" by Chris Haughton. The story is about a little owl that gets lost and needs to find his mummy. By taking photos of the book and using ZooBurst as a 3D tool, we created this. I hope y'all enjoy it. Thanks!

Extending our e-connections

The team of Master's Degree students working on ICT for reading and writing promotion, that is P. Almansa, N. González and T. Lau have designed a set of audiobooks for young CLIL learners.

Today, the Year 2 CLIL learners in @javiramossancha classroom have started reading one of those audiobooks, The naughty moon, and they have shared with us a couple of pics with the experience.

Thanks ever so much for your great effort. We all hope that you have enjoyed the story!

Keeping on with the connection between e-teachers setting up a mobile library for CLIL Primary Students and the e-students themselves, which was started through the Book ME-Library e-project at the URJC some weeks ago, now @Blogmaniacos have sent another video-message with their third set of answers.

Here you are the video clip and the links to the previous chapters too, so you can track the whole connection:
