Social Bookmarking Website: Diigo

Classroom collaboration is an area that benefits directly from today's Internet experience in that students can develop their potential for learning by becoming more actively involved. Indeed, they can learn to approach and solve problems by collaborating with other students and their teachers. Social bookmarking websites give them opportunities to discover and organize information.

While many social bookmarking sites offer some collaboration opportunities, Diigo (Digest of Internet Information, Groups and Other stuff) combines a user-friendly social platform with bookmarking features and functions that make it useful for the classroom, giving instructors tools for setting up groups of students, highlighting key information, and commenting.

Educandy: create interactive learning games

All you need is to enter the vocabulary or questions and answers and Educandy turns your content into different interactive activities. Once you have created an activity, a unique code is generated. Simply share that code with your students so they can play the game on their own device. Or you can embed the game into your own website. Students can also play the games you have created on their own device by visiting the Educandy website or downloading the Educandy app on their tablet. The games can also be played on the interactive whiteboard. We created our own activities! To play them use these codes on this site. Euge : The city! (2d5b) Verb list (2d5e) Frankenstein (2d60) Noe : Clothes (27be) Halloween (2d62)

The SAMR Model

The SAMR Model is a framework created by Dr. Ruben Puentedura that categorizes four different degrees of classroom technology integration. It was created to share a common language across disciplines as teachers strive to help students visualize complex concepts.

Our Own Sites!

Throughout the second part of the year we will be hosting our own sites. We are working with GoogleSites which is a very useful Google tool. Euge´s site is called: HowToBakeIt . It deals about world wide recipes. How to convey measurements. How common and normal meals were done in the past and how can someone make pre-made or store bought meals from scratch on their houses! Noe´s site is called ClassMate. It discuss and gives excellent tips for those who are taking "Practicas discursivas de la comunicación escrita en inglés" at the Instituto Superior Palomar de Caseros. A very useful site if you are looking for the experience and guidance of and old student and a mate! ;)
