Task 1: Conceptual Pictures
A picture can speak a thousand words
Have you ever looked at an image and automatically understood its meaning? This week we were challenged to take philosophical sayings regarding learning, education and teaching, and convert them into images using what we had to hand.
Everyone in the group quickly brainstormed as much as possible and each person had one phrase which they had to think of an original image they could create. In the meantime, our tech-wizard Gema was creating our Instagram, blog and Padlet all at once. Santiago was creative and also edited our photos before uploading them. María had some great ideas and was thinking of different ways to incorporate a lemon for her bittersweet phrase and she had some quite hilarious inicial photos before gaining the final composition which perfectly fit the phrase by Aristotle.
There is no doubt that creating the images at first seemed daunting but the creative juices started flowing as can be seen in our Padlet and Instagram account. Following the class, we continued touching up the pictures together, commenting how pictures could be improved and uploading them. The only thing missing was our profile picture which we decided to do on Thursday at university during our break, a photo of the group. It is only the first week yet everyone has showed enthusiasm and support. It looks promising for the go-getters!
As part of the journalist role, I have been researching sites of interest which I will explain more in detail below.
Ed Puzzle is a fantastic ICT tool that allows teachers to adapt listening to student´s level, particularly for an English class. You can add questions to the video where you want with multiple choice answers for students to choose from, which can be carefully placed in different moments of the video. It not only enables self-paced learning, but it also caters to diversity. Please find the link here: https://edpuzzle.com
Plickers is great ICT tool for students as you can turn revision into a fun dynamic activity. This is ideal for formative assessment and you can turn exams into games. It also fosters social learning and is better way for checking student´s knowledge. Please find the link here: https://get.plickers.com
Chatterpix is a fun app which students can use for presenting work. This fun app allows students to insert their voice into an image, for instance, a talking basketball, whereby they explain a concept, idea or project. This is ideal for oral presentations, greeting cards, exhibitions and poems. It is worth checking out.
