Hello bloggers!
Today I am very glad to share with you
one of my best experiences during my degree. It happened thanks to the project
called IcanTellIt designed by my teacher Raquel Fernández.
Have you ever imagine that new technologies, fairy tales and reading
promotion could work together? With my bilingual teachers partners
everything is possible!
We have enjoyed this activity with
the students of 2nd year
Primary Children coming from Daoiz y Velarde State school.
- PLOT OF THE PROJECT
A Boring Wizard has started to blow
all the pages books and all the fairy tales characters have forgotten their
identity. However, these magnificent students will help them to recover their memory and retell the story again.
This main objective will be achieved
with the help of ICT and the different workshops created by all my partners,
each one belongs to different popular fairy tales. Below you could find the
description of my group proposal.
- MY GROUP POPULAR FAIRY TALE
When students arrived to our
workshop they found a class very decorated: many flowers and birds, a big tree
and the walls were re-covered by grass. Moreover, three characters were playing
and dancing, trough this song they should guess who we were. Let’s see if you
guess it!
So… Who are we? Very good the THREE LITTLE PIGS! After this song, we observed a big poster
sticked in the tree that said wanted.
The children also discovered that was the wolf paying attention to our
descriptions. Then, the students should build the story with ICT before the wolf comes into the
class. Subsequently, they were divided in groups of three and each one had a
different house. Children should build
their house with the correct material. Furthermore, with the help of additional characters: Mrs. Mouse, Mrs.
Fairy and Mr. Lion, they should think
about a good plan to scared the wolf. Finally, these students worked really
hard and we all were save =)
- WORKING WITH ICT
As it is mentioned before, this
project has been designed with the help of ICT. In our case, we have used a
good and useful program called Edilim
(click there if you want to see more information). We discovered it in the
first course of our degree with our teacher Inmaculada Tello. It is a free tool that let you build multimedia
books where you could combine different types of activities: matching, filling
gaps, choosing the correct option, classifying pictures, working with texts... One
of the main advantages that Edilim has is that could be used in any subject and
in the language you choose! Moreover, it is possible to add pictures and voices
notes. During the project we use it to help students:
- Recognize the three little pigs’ houses
- Identify the wolf role
- Build the story again
Students enjoyed a lot because they
had an active attitude moving the pictures and thinking about the correct option.
Would you like to share with me how you use ICT in your workshop?
Finally, I would like to congratulate
all my partners, they all do a great job and we could see how children enjoyed!
Thank you for reading my blog! See
you in the next post!
Best wishes:
Dear Carla, you did good work!!! I have visited your workshop during the break and I liked it a lot! The atmosphere in your class was fantastic!It was a huge preparing! Now when I can see activity from the workshop I think it was good way to organized it. The different types of activity which you used very good and interesting for children. They could study and also take a pleasure of it! The program which you used- Edilim - is new for me, and in my opinion it will be very good idea to use it as part of the lesson. I'm sure that children liked this story and interpretation of you group too, of course. It was a good experience for all of us! Thank you for interesting post!!!
