Task 3 (Telling Stories: Free Resources and visual presentations)

Hello everyone! This week we have worked in three different things. First of all we learnt what is Creative Common. Well, it consists on that you keep your Copyright and you may allow people or not, to copy and distribute your work (music, videos, images...) but only on the conditions you specify, and it has different types of licences, depending of the author’s desires. And sometimes the different licences combine with other types of licences. So, if you are going to do a public exposition with slides, you have to be careful what media you use for it.
Here, you can see the photos we took and we uploaded to Flickr:

Also, other task for this week consists on doing a Power Point showing the 20 essential tips for do a good presentation. In our opinion, it was very interesting and we think that can be very useful for us in the future because, as you know, we are students of Education Primary Degree and we have to do many expositions along the course. So, it is very important to know how to do a good one and interesting for your public. You can see our work here:

Other thing was choose a topic which was taught in Primary Schools and showing it for our classmates. It was the most interesting thing in our opinion. We tried to do it dynamic and original so we chose the flotation. We did different experiments with objects such as a stone, a leaf or a cork, to check its flotation in a container with water. We thought that it is easy to understand a topic if children see it in a visual way and applied to their real life. Also we taught concepts as the volume or the density but in a funny way, not just by head!

We are learning so many things in this course and important resources for us as future teachers. Now we use Slideshare, PearlTree, Blog… we think that it is important for teachers and Education innovate, you must be connected with the preferences of your children. So, if they spend all day with their Ipads, tablets, smartphones… Why can’t we teach them using it in order to motivate them?


We are motivated to continue learning and working hard. Hope you enjoy our work! Best regards.
