Prototype of an open educational CLIL project

Prototype of an open educational project:

First of all I downloaded the template that you will see below at the end of the explanation from the challenge seven in order to create my prototype of an open CLIL Educational Digital Project.
The template for prototyping an open educational CLIL project is organized in the following steps:

Level
Title
Number of sessions
Areas
Teacher´s role
Student's role
Aims
4cs of CLIL
Key competences
Assesment Criteria
Skills
Resources
Setting
Challenges
Missions to overcome the final outcome

I have chosen a topic about Natural science for first graders, in particular Living things-Non living things, to let them know a bit more about the world that surrounds them by naming and labelling every item that we see and classify.
Living things and Non-living things is the topic I will teach to first graders as it is the lesson they have to study at midterm.
I will explain almost six sessions in group A and six sessions in group B.CLIL subjects as Natural Science ,Arts and Crafts and Literacy are linked.
Concerning about 4cs of CLIL much of the vocabulary appears in the content they have already studied.Not only they put in practice their previous knowledge but also the targeting language they are learning while studying English subject.In particular animals on the farm, lesson five from the English book.
Working on literacy Little Red Hen is cooking is a book about domestic animals that I will read in class.With this book they learn behavoral conduct and moral values.It uses the present continuos and the present simple.
The type of assesment which best fits this process of learning as they are seating in groups is Formative assesment and cooperative work.

Act: they give their opinion and acept information.	State: easy to communicate with.	State:support others with their work.
Act: they try to understand what they have to do.	State:problem solving.	State: encourage others to do their work.
Act: they participate with decision.	State: calm down conflicts.

Finally, as they are very little and starting using the computer I selected a range of handmade activities to aproximate them to real life items so that they can  study on their books.
To uploaded to the blog the PDF document I used slideshare which is easy to use once you start to manipulate it.
After filming the video I added special effects as music and visual details I did it with Movie Edit Touch and then uploded the video to youtube.

Self-reflection:
The template helps me a lot to organize my mind, I am getting use to being filmed. I have learnt how to use slideshare which was difficult at the beginning.I hope you like what I am sharing with you.Best wishes for you all.

The Earth in the Solar System

The Earth in the Solar System: A didactic unit for third graders from social science subject.

The advantage of this project is that a lot of information is available for population. As you can be the owner of your creation you are able to take control over it and explain it to students.
CLIL OERs are created  by experts, trainers and teachers both  content and language teachers.
Materials can be shared not only by students but also by teachers.
The disavantages of creating this type of materials are that not everybody has acces to computers to benefit from them and in many occasions resources become outdated as they haven't been renuewed for so long.
I will follow the checklist to analyse this project:


KEY KNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTANDING, AND SUCCES SKILLS

This method transmits knowledge. It is based on different types of tools apart from the textbook.
Students can do activities individually or in groups.Helping each other to understand the lesson encourage collaborative work.
The challenges are organised in seven sessions  each part contains differentent exercises.

The first session previous knowledge is support by songs, videos and explanations about the The Solar System, the sun, planets and other celestial bodies.

The second and third session contains HOTS and LOTS questions in order to acquire an appropiate knowledge.Much of the answers of these question can be obtained from its correspondent video.The experiment will be carried out at home with an adult supervision.

Firsly the fourth session explain the moon satellite in the videos attached and then pupils will answer the questions once the have watched the videos.Secondly pupils can practice fill in the gaps
exercises.

In the fith session you can find a mind map which summarized the most important items of the Solar System.

The  session six  develop different kind of activities as for example match a handmade activity. activity in groups in which they have to act out. 

In the last session you are able to test your knowledge about the contents of  the lesson.

In my opinion it is good because you practice the basic four skills reading, speaking, listening and writing. There should be feedback. 



CHALLENGE PROBLEM AND QUESTION

Students acquire knowledge by practicing the activities that are uploaded in the design to explain the subject to the students.

SUSTAINED INQUIRY

The process which is followed in the design uses an active methodology in which students generate questions, find and use resources and develop their own answers.

                                                     

AUTHENTICITY

The activities are created by a teacher who is the owner of the product.

STUDENT VOICE AND CHOICE

The teacher is in charge of the selection of the materials.

REFLECTION

By means of activities it is reflected what they have learnt but not how they have.

CRITIQUE AND REVISION

Through the activities done online the students receive feedback of their work.

                                                   

PUBLIC PRODUCT

Students do not need to elaborate a final project to demostrate what they have learnt.Open Educational resources are focused on tools use in the learning process.

SELF-REFLECT:

In my opinion it is very interesting to analyse this type of material because it will be useful in a future as a teacher. It helps teachers to be updated , build knowledge and do collaborative work.I choose the Earth in the Solar System to see what kind of exercises can be practice on internet and how to do it.
Learning to manage new tools helps a lot when preparing on-line activities.Talking about new tools I created a presentation with Genially.

Here is my presentation about the project mentioned above. I have use genially tool to do it. 

Flipped introduction

" START UP A CONVERSATION..."

Hello to everybody, I am going to present to you Miguel who has been studying a Musical Bachelor for fourteen years. Currently he is twenty-nine years old and he is studying a Master degree in Bilingual Education at Rey Juan Carlos University.

Miguel says that it is not easy to combine both studies and job, but he is doing it. He is working hard.
At the same time he is succesful with his professional and social life.

He is happy with the people he works with and the environment that surrounds him.
All the effort he is making deserves with a big aplausse from the audience.

The media which I work with is not new, everybody is able to use it  if you want to edit a homemade video. With video Edit Touch you have the opportunity of introducing images at the begining, between  videos and at the end of the video.In this case I matched together the videos filmed.

I added images, one at very begining to introduce Miguel presentation and the last one at the end.
The song "The shape of you" by Ed sheeran that sounds in the cover at the begining and at the end of the video is one of the tools that video Edit Touch let's you use.Then I upload it to youtube.

Apart from the music I added special effects as for example aplausses. Not only I learned techniques of how to do an introduction with ICT tools but also let you know a little about Miguel and how to present him even though I am not a journalist.

In my opinion is useful to catch audience. By doing this activity you  expose yourself to the media which by the time I think I will be more confident and not so shy.Thank you very much for watching I now you are in hurry so I am glad if you spend time on wactching us.I hope you enjoy it.
