If you can´t go to class about Virus or quarantine while We are at home, We can play from home with our smartphones and tablets against our classmates. Teachers and Students can develop games or challenges from home for practice with distance. Similar games can be created free with Quizizz, Socrative, Canvas or Google Forms. Here, We are playing Kahoot at live in our lessons of Social Studies, our students learn how to ask good questions and design pictures of History. Try to used it at home and share with your teachers and peers!

WE PLAY KAHOOT IN CLASS OF SOCIAL SCIENCES (Friday, 14th February 2020).

We play Kahoot in our lessons of Social Studies, our students learn how to ask good questions and design pictures of Geography. I recently provided them with an opportunity to produce games in classroom of Social Sciences. There’s a lot to like about Kahoot: it’s free, capable of working on tablets, smartphones, and computers, and (as your students will surely agree), it’s a super engaging, user-friendly way to check for understanding. Used it in classroom!

Another experiment about Pi

Today in 4ESO we have experienced how to calculate pi weighting.
The idea is to calculate the ratio between the volume(weight) of a cylinder and a prism which share the height and knowing that the base of the cylinder is inscribed in the square base of the prism.
Students of 1st course prepared the material, you can see photos below.

But we found a problem, the cardboard is not rigid enough, thanks to our French partner we have plastic models made in a 3D printer, using those models we have very accurate results for pi such as 3.13, 3,08 and 3,15.



It has been a lovely experience of collaboration between two different levels , subjects (technology and mathematics) and teachers. We will repeat soon!!!

Second Erasmus + mobility (Rétimo)

Last week the second mobility of the Erasmus+project "Maths is around us" ocurred. We went to Rethymno between January 26th and 31st, the topic in this ocasion was Mathematics and Arts.
Students have developed part of the activities in their countries and shared them in twinspace, for instance Spanish students share photos of symmetrical objects and work tesellations and fractal with Geogebra.
In Rethymno we worked in several workshops such as camera obscura,  t-shirts with our tesellations, receive information about symmetry (Romanian team prepared that) and went for a mathematical walk.
We also visited three museums, Knossos palace and learn more about Greek culture.
It was a great experience!!!!
Next meeting is in Hellín, we are eager to receive our partners.

CREATE COMICS IN CLASSROOM. (Friday, 24th January 2020)


We can create comics in classroom; it is online and free for Teachers and Students. I usually use Bitstrips online in Facebook to create my digital units, but here you have ten online sites to create online in classroom or at home to develop your lesson. Enjoy it!

ArtisanCam not only allows you to create online comics, but it is also a very complete art site that allows users to learn about the different art forms, all with a very simple interface for anyone with internet access.

MBC is the perfect place to create your own comic strips. This site offers you a large number of characters with different aspects and the possibility of writing your own texts and exploring different possibilities.

SuperHero Squad is a site designed to entertain and educate children using the Super Hero Squad library of Marvel characters, including Iron Man, Wolverine, Thor and Hulk.

Using the new Click-n-Drag Comics technology, Pixton offers anyone interested the possibility of creating excellent comics on the web, including from fully customized characters to dynamic panels.

Strip Generator has a very interesting editor that allows you to create black and white comic strips for those who don't know how to draw. With a very simple drag and drop system you can choose backgrounds, characters and much more.
