My students use Pixton

The English and French Department of IES Mediterráneo have celebrated the Human Rights Day by designing posters with the articles of the Declaration of the Human Rights making a relation with these articles and the Spanish Constitution. The 2º Bachillerato students created several comics developing these articles to diffuse them among the other students at school. These comics have been created by using: Pixton. It is a wonderful online tool that helps students create attractive comics, it is fun and easy to use. They also made a gymkhana with this topic that was carried out on 21st December at our school.

This video's worth watching

It is not only absolutely interesting but also funny. Watch it, you'll have a great time... and you will learn!

    

Theatre in English

On 10th November we will attend a play in English at the Centro Cultural Ramon Alonso Luzy . All ESO is invited to participate, we hope your attendance.

You will learn while enjoying!

Create your own voki

You only have to click on my voki and you will be sent to the page where you can create your own voki. Just follow the instructions, and it'll be done. Once you have created your viki you have to write the text you want him/her to say (your name and something else). Then embed the code on your blog so that everybody can see it. Remember what I explained last Tuesday.

Sólo tenéis que pinchar sobre mi voki y eso os llevará a la página de Voki donde podéis crear vuestro propio voki. Sólo seguid las instrucciones y se hará. Una vez hayáis creado vuestro voki tenéis que escribir lo que queréis que diga (vuestro nombre y algo más) . Incrustad después el código en vuestro blog para que todo el mundo pueda verlo. Recordad lo que os expliqué el pasado martes.

Here you are the video I have created to help you.
Aquí tenéis el video que he hecho para ayudaros.

Back to school

Here we are one more time. This year we have some novelties: first of all we are in the Bilingüal Programme and this is a big challenge, on the other hand we are involved in two Comenius projects. One is about Solidarity and is called "Beleiving in Humanity" and the other is about the importance of harbour cities and their social, economic and cultural influence. That means we are going to be very busy.
Regarding the implementation of our bilingual section we have created a page on the website of our department for this section to meet the needs of the programme and, of course, to help our 1ºESO students who begin this experience. That is why I have dedicated a page within the previous one. We invite you to visit it and begin your journey now.

My other blog

FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN is my other blog, it was created to help my new students at IES Mediterráneo. The reason to design it: I wanted to change the URL to make them easier to remember the address.

Play with me!

A new tool: Prezi

I've just discovered a new tool that I find fascinating, I'm starting with it but I can imagine its possibilities, here is an example I've done in some minutes, it is something elemental...I have to practise more... but I'm sure you'll get wonderful presentations with it.
