Memory Game!

Hello everyone, I'm Esther and I want to share with you my proposal for the ICT class using computers. I hope you enjoy it and it can be a useful resource for you.

TOPIC: Memory Game.

The activity allows you to choose between different topics as clothes, jobs, body parts, food among other subjects.

CONTEXT

The activity is concerned for students from first key stage (5 to 8 years old). After introducing a new topic or unit and have worked on it during some sessions, the following activity can be introduced as a way to reinforce the acquisition of new learning vocabulary or also as a revising or assessing task at the end of the unit. Using new technologies can be a good way to motivate students and know about others issues around them.    

CONTENT OBJECTIVES

- Work on the new learning vocabulary. 

- Identify and relate sounds and the sound with the image.

- Reinforce the short and long term memory.

- Be able to use new technologies.

LANGUAGE OBJECTIVE

- Work on the key vocabulary.

- Association between written and oral skills.

COMPETENCES (competències básiques de llengües estrangeres)

1.         Dimensió comunicació oral

2.         Dimensió comprensió lectora

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL

We are going to split the group in pairs. Each pair is going to use one computer and headphones for each student. The teacher will provide the web page to the students were they must choose the jobs content, worked previously in class. The game provides white squares which you have to click on and a word or an image is going to be shown at the same time an oral support is going to be provided. They will have to click on each square to guess where the pair is and match them.

This activity can be done in pairs or individually. It can be appropriate to let the students play in pairs the first times and after understanding the dynamic let them do it individually.

DESCRIPTION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION

MATERIALS:

- ICT class

- Computer connected to the internet.

- Headphones

EVALUATION:

- Understanding of the key vocabulary

- Association between sounds, images and letters (oral, written and listening skills)

ASSESMENT:

The teacher will assess the students learning’s. After playing to the game the teacher can prepare an activity where the pupils have to use the key vocabulary in a sentence and verify if they understand and know the different meanings and how to use them.

As an assessment activity, the computer game, can be also used for the teacher but focusing his/her attention in two or three pairs checking if they really understand the vocabulary and also the game dynamic or they doing it without any sense. Otherwise a little square located at the bottom where the word “turns” is write can help the teacher to know how many tries have the students done.   

Lyricstraining: computer activity

Hello, I am Mireia Núñez and in the following lines I aim to present you my computers’ activity.

WELCOME TO THE HOUR OF CODE!

Hi everyone!

My name is Marta and I would like to introduce you a PC activity that is done it with Code.

As most of you know, the hour of code consists in a one-hour introduction to computer science, so anybody can learn the basics in the field of computer science starting with 1 hour coding activities.

The goal of the Hour of Code is not to teach anybody to become an expert computer scientist in one hour; is only to learn that computer science is fun an creative, that is accessible at all ages, for all students.

 

"Everybody in this country should learn how to program a computer"

StoryJumpers!

Hi there! It’s Anna Molina again. Today I would like to talk about an amazing site, It might ring a bell 😉. The name of this site is Story Jumper.

This site is a nice tool to use as a support in our lessons. I would like to present you an example:

OUR BOOK OF MAMMALS!📚
TOPIC	Mammals
LEVEL	2nd  grade of Primary
CONTEXT & PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE	Students have been working on the topic in previous sessions, for that reason they identify and understand the key vocabulary.
OBJECTIVES	To work cooperatively          To develop creativity.      To identify and include in the project the main                   information regarding mammals            To enjoy the activity

Using Genially in the Science class

The students in the 3rd Key Stage have studied the invertebrate animals. As a global revision, the teacher proposes to create a digital compilation of interactive pictures containing information about these animals.

The students will use the website Genially, that offers a wide range of templates to create interactive material. In this occasion, each group of students will create an interactive picture of the type of animal chosen.

PC Activity!

Hi! I'm Gemma and I would like to introduce you a PC activity to work with P5 children.

Are you ready??????

TOPIC

Wild Animals

CONTEXT

·    This session is intended for students P5

·    The students have been learning domestic and farm animals in the previous term so they are already aware of the topic. They also have worked where do they live and why. In this case, wild animals are these ones who live in nature. They have been adapted to make survive in their own environment. Also, they can’t live in our homes because they are dangerous for humans so they are unpredictable.

CONTENT OBJECTIVES

1.    Identify the animals

2.    Work in collaborative groups and solve activities

3.    Participate in activities that require critical thinking.

4.    Participate in activities requiring ICT knowledge.

LANGUAGE OBJECTIVE

1.    Key vocabulary

2.    Justify their answers properly

CONTENTS, COMPETENCES AND PROCESS

1.    Use of information in order to state a clear opinion.

2.    Connect ideas and skills in real-life situations.

3.    Collaborative pair and small group’s promotion

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL

- Pre Listening

First the students will play a memory game based on the wild animals that they are going to work later on during the session. After the game, the teacher is going to have time to ask them if they have ever seen one of them anywhere, how do they look like, if they were eating in that moment, etc. in order to share knowledge and encourage them to express themselves from their own experiences.

- Listening

As a second activity, the teacher will present a YouTube video of the wild animals where students have to listen actively in order to be able to complete the next activity.

- Post listening

Finally, as an ending activity, students have to complete the worksheet by circling those animals who are wild.

Hello, we are Anna Alcázar, Esther Muñoz and Mireia Núñez. In the following lines we aim to present you our tablet activity and the evaluation of the app we used.

Storytelling using the Scratch software

Hi colleagues!

Edurne here! This time I would like to present to you guys an educational activity that is done using the computer: storytelling bullying using the Scratch software.

Scratch is an easy-to-learn animation software that introduces students to the world of computer programming. It is fun, educational, and suitable for creating interactive media such as stories, games, art, and simulations, all through its user-friendly block-based programming.

This following activity which I have designed is suitable for all ages in primary, as long as the topic and aims are adapted to the age group you are working with. As always, the activity discussed here can also be used with another topic.

Scratch offers a range of possibilities with its sound adding and voice recording options. As with most digital platforms, users are also able to share your work.

Target audience:

This activity is intended for third grade students (3rd), who have already worked on aspects of storytelling in another subjects. In class, teacher will teach students the basics of Scratch (perhaps through examples which they have done). The main priority here is to make the language and development environment intuitive for children who have not had any prior programming experience.

Aims:

·                     To introduce students to computer programming.

·                     To promote students´ creativity.

·                     To incorporate computer use in a storytelling process.

Competencies:

·         Linguistic and audiovisual: vocabulary expansion and use of ICT.

·         Digital management of information: students will use computers to carry out this activity.

·     Linguistic and writing communication: the teacher will divide the class in six groups of 4 (relatively small groups) to encourage teamwork and communication. Each student will be given a role within the group.

Classroom Management:

Each group will need a computer for the development of this activity, and each student will have a different role which they must take on during the realization of the task. The aim of assigning roles is to promote cooperation between group members and motivate them with a sense of importance. These assigned roles include:

·                     The speakers, who are only allowed to communicate with other speakers. When in doubt, they can ask the teacher.

·                     The coordinators, who are responsible for reiterating the instructions of the activity, just in case one of their partners has failed to understand or has forgotten the original objectives.

·                     The supervisors, who make sure that all the members of the team work together in an appropriate and constructive manner.

·                     The environment-ers, who are responsible for controlling the group´s volume and material during the development of the activity (if necessary).

All members of the group must participate in the realization of storytelling project with Scratch. They should communicate with each other in English and respect the roles given.

Vocabulary:

Related to the Scratch program:

·         Backdrops

·         Costumes

·         Instructions of movement (right, left, up, down…)

·         Save

Related to the storytelling:

·         Bullying

·         Abuse

·         Respect

·         Help others

Activities:

Before the activity, the teacher will introduce Scratch to their students using the following tutorial, which will explain how to create a story using the software: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-1Ru9qPx1U

Students will then create their own stories related to the theme of bullying. They must bear in mind the brief given by the teacher. Characters and stages can be added, as well as voice recordings and animations to give life to the characters.

Since it is an intuitive software, students should be given time to familiarize themselves with the programming commands and options. Practice will help them get to grips with the workings of the software.

Resources:

Video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W80SFOejcio

Assessment:

The teacher will assess students using the following criteria:

- Communicative abilities using English Language.

 - Attitude throughout the activity.

- Behavior in the classroom during the realization of the task.

- The final product made using Scratch.
