Let's work with infographics!

Hi folks!

Welcome to a new entry of my learning journal. Today I am going to draw your attention to infographics. An infographic is a visual representation of information or data. They are used mainly to present a content or as a backup for an explanation. Due to its powerful uses, infographics are great tools to apply in Primary Education. 

In this case I have used a free webpage to create my own infographic to use in class. This site is canva. It offers a wide spectrum of templates to use and create your own ones. It is free, which means is affordable for everybody, and it is very easy to follow as you have a brief and visual explanation of its functions. 

For me it has been a positive experience working with canva and I feel comfortable designing my own templates. I think canva is one of the most recommended tools I would like to share with you as it's been a pleasure to work with it. Simple, visual and organised. 

Specifically, I have used canva to create an infographic to explain and help primary students to follow certain steps when dealing with research works. Sometimes, students get stuck when they have to start from the very begining of a project. Therefore, I have thought about using an infographic to solve this problem and provide them with 3 simple steps before taking hands on it. The infographic is divided into 3 main steps to succeed in a research work. They are illustrated with pictures and short explanations.

I hope you enjoy working with infographics and you could use it in you classroom.

See you!

How many senses have we got?

How many senses have we got? Photograph by Alexas_Fotos CC0 Creative Commons   Hi folks! It's me again, Martic! How are things going in The Earth? Here in Mars we are celebrating Saint Valentine's Day. Did you know that Marshis people celebrate Saint Valentine's on the 15th of February? Yes! This is because Cupid used to visit first The Earth and the day after he visits Mars.  In my classroom, I am linking this special day to the 5 senses humans have. We are asking ourselves how people interact and make relationships such as friendship or partnership. The purpose of the following pictures is to represent humans acts when interacting with the environment, with other people and with themselves. I have designed this topic to be carried out in a CLIL lesson with 2nd graders. The photographs displayed below will help me to introduce and to explain the topic of the 5 senses. To activate students' talking time, I will ask them some questions ...

Experimenting with Genially

Hi folks! Welcome back to Mars! Here we are once again providing you with great ideas to use in your classroom. Today, I am going to show you a very useful tool to motivate and engage students in learning new concepts. This innovative tool is genially I found out this website quite interesting for teachers. First of all, because it is free! Moreover, it offers many visual items to use in Primary Education. It is not the simple Power point that you create to give meaning to your explanations. Genially has been designed to be manipulative and interconnected, which means you create a slideshow with different alternatives and windows that open a new world field. Although it has been my first time using this app, I will apply it to my classroom as a general basis. I have to say that the first time it is a bit time- consuming as you might not know how it goes. But when you get used to it, you will think that it is "easy peasy, lemon squeezy!" I really recommend usi...
