Content Curation

 Content curation and Resources for teachers


Hi everyone!!

I have been thinking...

...thinking about giving you useful resources to use as a teachers.

Today I want to write you about the next term: Content Curation. Do you know it?

As a teachers we have to remember so much daily information. In addition to this, we have to search on Internet so many resources so finally something may be forgotten. WE ARE HUMANS, NO ROBOTS.

So the term of Content Curation is as actual as Internet in our Education. So, we need some internet tools in order to keep all the meaningful and useful information we find. That is the idea of this post, providing you different tools to save digital classroom resources.

  • Pinterest(www.pinterest.es): It is the most known tool. Here we can find different resources to use in our classroom, from worksheet to digital lapbooks. As well as you can find resources and keep them there. (sign in required).

  • Symbaloo (www.symbaloo.com): Another webpage to find resources and enable us to organize them. An account is required.

I want to share with you an example, but I'm going to provide you the tool that I prefer the most. MY FAVOURITE ONE:

  • Pearltrees (www.pearltrees.com): In here you can pin a lot of resources as the previous ones but, in my opinion, I consider it the most intuitive, useful and clear. The interface is very simple but effective.

In all these websites we need to create a Resources board for the content you want to collect. In my case, I have found resources for Natural Sciences (5th graders) and the unit: Heat and Light.

  1. Victor thanks for your post, I've been checking that some colleagues chose pearltrees and I'm realising how useful is! 5th graders will definitely learn about heat and light - great resources! I just want you to know that I found red letters quite difficult to read. Maybe you can choose a darker colour to make it clearer 😄 .

Resources: Infographics

  WELCOME BACK TO A NEW POST AT VIK'S EDUCATIPS On this occasion I bring you an INFOGRAPHIC . Do you know what it is? Infographics can be defined as visual representations of data or information. In this case I have created this tool to use it in the Natural Science class. It is about the planets of the Solar System . I consider it a very effective way to give visual support to the students at the same time that they are more interested in learning the information. Also, I believe that it helps them to better organize and schematize content and main ideas.         In addition to bringing you this tool with an example, I want to tell you which website I have used to carry it out. Easel.ly :  I consider this application marvelous in order to make infographics. You can choose between an example template or create your own . As a result of your selection, you can continue adding all kinds of images and shapes, letter designs, backgrounds, charts and e...

MY AVATAR.

 Hello fellas!! As I told you, the next post would be about me and my avatar, so here we go! This is me, Vik. I have been virtually created thanks to the Bitmoji . It is very useful and intuitive to create your own avatar and I consider it a very good tool both inside and outside the classroom. You can use anywhere and regardless the device you have, for instance, mobile phones, tablets or even computers. We can access quickly to our bitmoji by adding an extension in t he address bar or in the keyboard of our electronic devise. As I told you, I am going to mention things that I like and things that I dislike. I like.... Teach in Primary Education. Play tennis. Watch movies and eat. I dislike... People being late. Mussels. Wasting useless time with the mobile phone. As you can see, Bitmoji is a great tool in order to create more attractive and creative post. With this tool you can put better the feelings into words.  Are you going to deny me?      PROS:  ...
