The star

Hello everybody! I’m Isabel Abril Pérez-chuecos, and last week I was the star.

Last week, the stars didn’t have to expose because we had to do a better activity that consist on telling and showing us what we did in the class of Monday.  

On Monday, we had a guest at the university; he was Manel Rives, a teacher of primary school in Galicia that came to show us some technological activities that he does with his pupils. 

He proved us that technologies can be incorporate in education. He showed us some presentation and exposition made by children of six and seven years old; it was incredible.
He has achieved that we see the education in other way, through the creativity and technology. Besides he proposed us to do his activities, it was very interesting and funny. To do the activities, everyone brought plasticine, dinosaurs, cameras and computers.
Firstly, we did a dinosaurs comic using an internet program called " Toontastic". Manel lent us an I pad to do every activity. This is our comic.

Secondly, we did a video about dinosaurs too, with the phone camera we did many photos and we put them in an internet program that joined them and it did a video. Here you can see it.

And thirdly, we did another story about dinosaurs using a program called "Stop Motion". Here it is the link to see it.

These activities made us feel like kids again and we learned a lot of things about dinosaurs. For example that the Tiranosaurs measured between ten and fourteen metres and that it could weigh four or seven tons.
In brief, we learnt and enjoyed very much.
