Blog and Wikis

Something really important in teaching is including technologies in our daily classes, as well as communicating not only with children, but also with their parents, to get a more effective way of learning. And if we mix bith ideas, we can communicate with children and parents using technology, specifically blogger and Wikispaces Classroom; and that's why we learnt how to manage them! This is the final result of the Wiki:

Google Drive, Dropbox and Doodle

This Practical Work was divided into three exercises:

1. Google Drive: we had to upload files, folders, and learn how to share the documents, how to look for a specific type of  file (.pdf, .txt, etc.) and change the configuration to control who can see them.
2. Dropbox: we had to upload 
3. Doodle: we had to create some schedules and send them to the other team members for them to fill them with the dates in which they had time enough to develop the activities we suggested.

PPT

In the Practical Work 3 we had to create a PowerPoint including on it:

• A frontal page, with the title we were going to talk about and the names of the team members
• An introduction, with the main points we were going to touch.
• The text, in which we had to include animations for the text to enter step by step, not everything at the same time.
• Several pictures with a brief descriptions of them. The pictures had to appear step by step, and at the same time with the text that described them.
• A table with some data related to the theme that has been chosen and a graphic reperesnting the data that are on the table.
• A diagram
• A link to the prezi we also had to do in this Practical Work by transferring all the slides of the PPT to the Prezi, and a house in which by clicking takes you to the first slide.

The following link takes you to the PPT we presented to the teacher:

Word

In the Practical Work 2, we had to chose the text we wanted and divided it into two columns, including a picture, a table of contents, and a table. The document had to have a header and a footer from the second page on, not in the first page. The header of the odd pages had to have the number of the page in the right, and the name of the subject ("ITC in Education") in the left, and in the even pages, it had to be the other way around.

Creating folders and compressing files

As the title says, this first Practical Work was just to have a first contact with the basic things we have to know to work with the computer. We had to do five different exercises:

• Exercise 1: To create folders and files.
• Exercise 2: Learn how to through files on the recycle bin and recovering them.
• Exercise 3: Searching files and compressing them.
• Exercise 4: Personlaization of the work environment.
• Exercise 5: Differences we can find among the different versions of Windows.

And finally, this is how the Practical Work looked like after doing each of the Exercises, just before sending it to the teacher.

Welcome!

Hi and welcome everyone!

We are students of Primary Education, and we've created this blog to show you what we've been doing in ITC in Education, one of the subjects we have to take in the second semester of the first year of the degree. We hope you enjoy visiting it as much as we enjoyed doing it!
