TASK 3

Task 3:

Create an image based writing activity using PicLit

Create a PicLit, and publish it in the blog, as an example of what your students will do on their own. The target of this activity is to develop creative writing.  Language can be used with a direct aim, like using new vocabulary, practicing word order, recognizing grammar categories, etc., or to create a story enhanced with a set of pictures of the student’s choice. In the Blog entry there must be a short description of the activity: which level it is aimed at, what language content is dealt with, etc.


This image is thought to be the introduction of a debate activity in class. The idea is to make our students to reflect upon life, what could be happiness, what they consider as happiness, and compare their daily routine with happiness, in order to make them know if they really practise what they like, and to encourage them to do what really makes them happy.

The quote is taken from a Hungarian film called Kontroll.

The level of our students would be high since we have to discuss some issues which require abstract knowledge.

TASK 1

                              THE IMPORTANCE OF ICT IN EDUCATION

·         Write a summary of the legal framework of ICT in ESO, in order to get awareness of the importance of integrating ICT skill in our teaching work. This document will be published in the blog. This is the legal document to use as reference:

 Real Decreto 1105/2014, de 26 de diciembre, por el que se establece el currículo básico de la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria y del Bachillerato

In a world where technology has such an influence, citizens must be familiarized with its use and the useful products we can get from it. We are surrounded by technology that has been developed for making our life simple and satisfy our needs. This is one of the reasons why people must develop skills in order to make a good use of that technology and take advantage from it.

Technology could be understood according to different aspects:

-          Process for solving technological problems.

-          Technological expression and communication.

-          Materials of technical use.

-          Structures and mechanisms: machines and systems.

Currently, the use that people make of information is huge. Students have to be prepared for the revolution of technology that is being experienced in this era. Digital competence is important to be developed. ICT use in education is a must, and has to be incorporated in the classrooms. 

ICT prepares students to develop themselves in this area. They need to learn how to use different tools that will be useful not in a short period of time, but also for their future. Moreover, they should know their legal use, and all the advantages or disadvantages that new technology could suppose.

In 4^th ESO, students must be provided with skills in order to get adapted to different changes that ICT can present so that they could make a good use of it, and continue using them in a future.

In Bachillerato, ICT must be incorporated by means of a series of technological aspects they will have to use in a future in their professional career, or graduated or post-graduate studies.
