PPT Lesson Plan

Have you ever played to The Sims?

I didn't have the chance to spent a lot of hours playing videogames (luckily) because the sports and studies were way more important in my life, but I really liked this game, as it allowed me to build a family and lead their life.

So, basically, this is the description of my Power Point Lesson Plan: we have some money, income and a lot of problems with health and obesity. In this way, students challenge will be to flip this situation by fixing healthy habits, earning money and deleting this junk food, the no sport and every single problem of their daily life.

And everything using Excel, who gives us the chance to work with numbers easily, and the internet by doing a lot of research.

Blogging in the classroom

Weirdddd!

Writing about blogging in a blog!

I don't want to confuse you, I don't want trick you or bother you... This blog is a requisite for my EdTech class, but teacher can use to communicate with the parents, or keep students on track if they miss some classes, or to explain some hard assignments,...

As you can see, we can use Blog in so many ways that is impossible to write then in an only post (even though there is no apparent limit). That's my third Blog and I really like the feeling of communicating with other people or express what I feel to the people.

All in all, be sure that I will use this website if that means improvements in my classes! Now, I only need good readers!

Webquest

I totally remember my feelings about WebQuests the days before the specific lessons. I was extremely scared and lost, I didn't even know the meaning of them until little by little I saw a couple of them and I realized that it wasn't that hard.

Once we were ready, I started to think about the topic and as I have always been attracted by the self-esteem, the autonomy and that kind of characteristics and virtues that every child should have, I decided that this was going to be my topic.

Besides, they can improve their research in the internet skills and hopefully, the WebQuest done by me will be quite effective and useful. However, it is pretty obvious that if I want to teach lessons with Webquests I should spend much more time.

Spreadsheet lesson plan

First of all, I have to admit that it is quite hard to remember my projects long time after, but luckily, we have everything saved in Blackboard, and from now on, in our portfolio.

And I can tell that Excel and I we are not the best friends, as I find rather difficult to work with it. However, it is really useful to work with numbers and operations, so that it gives you almost infinity of possibilities.

In my case, as my major is P.E. with Elementary I'll try to use it in order to combine excel and Health or Sport issues. So I can make projects like creating a new budget a life for a family or the budget of our new gym,... Besides, we can use it to grade them really easily.
