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.   

Toontastic: tablet activity (Anna A., Esther M., Mireia N.)

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.

5th class TABLETS

Hello everyone,

This session was focused on working with tablets. The scanning of a QR code was the starting point where we discuss about the pros and cons about using new technology in the classroom.

Then we conclude that is difficult to get our students attention and cope with the explanations or some problems our students can find with the devices.

Then Maribel introduce us a project called “El lideratge digital dels alumnes a l’aula”. The aim of this project is to train some students of the class in order to help their classmates with the different tools they can be using during the class. An expert in TIC is going to help the teacher with the classroom management.

Finally we start working with the different apps downloaded in our tablet and by groups we choose one and show to our classmates the different uses and possibilities the app give you.
