The importance of slideshows

The slides have become a tool used in many fields, also in education. Both teachers and students use them to support their explanations, presentations and studies. That is why today I bring you a very useful tool for making slides.

As already mentioned, slides are used in a wide variety of situations. At the end of the day, we personalize the slide with the information we want, so it is useful and necessary.

The tool that I bring you today is www.genial.ly.

On this website we can create slides for free as soon as we register. However, some features won't be free.

Among the most characteristic aspects of this application we find:

At the beginning, we have a lot of templates on which to create our slides.
We differentiate between adding titles, subtitles, paragraphs, as well as different styles of letters, sizes and colors.
We can add images and gifts, as well as images directly from pixabay, a website already mentioned in previous posts.
It has different resources such as icons, shapes, maps, tables, graphs, illustrations, scenarios, social media layouts.
Finally, we can insert audio recordings and links to YouTube and Spotify, among others.

The most negative aspect I have found is that it will not let us download our slides once we finish them, it is paid content, we only can present them inside the website.

In my case I have chosen this tool to summarize my teaching about Unit 5: Heat and Light. We have learnt the different contents about thermal energy and ways of transferring the information. Besides, in this genial.ly I explain how to do a Science Experiment about convection "Convection Snake".

It is called "Mindmap" and it has a series of characteristics and benefits that are very suitable for the classroom. Next, I mention the strongest points of this tool : 1. Show information in a clear and summarized way. 2. Visualize the most important aspects of a topic. 3 . Sequence ideas in an schematized way to clarify or solve problems. These are three advantages of using mindmaps, but there are so many!! It only depends on your imagination and creativity. Here you can see an example: In this case the topic is " Puberty ", from Natural Science subject. Looking at this mindmap students are able to find the main changes that women and men suffer during this vital and natural process called puberty. The web page that I have used has been the following one: Bubbl.us The web page used is one of many that we can...

Journey through ICT subject.

Hello everybody!! This post is about my path of the ICT subject. It has been a long way to get here, but the satisfaction of having arrived is enormous. First of all, remember my virtual arrival through Bitmoji, you all know me! At the same time, I created this Blog that has become my virtual home. Here I save and share everything! But remember, every content always legally and with authorship. Thanks to creative commons license: In order to reach more people, to share what we do with effort and enthusiasm, we work with tools such as twitter or slides, such as Zeetings, google slides or genially. One of the most useful tools for the classroom that I have been adding to the blog are those with which mindmaps, infographics or comics have been made. Very useful for CLIL classes, to organize information, increase accuracy, work on different key skills, give visual support, among many other things. Some examples: Storyboardthat, Pixton, Mindmeister, Bubbl, Canva or Easelly. The last ste...
