Gamification

This is the second year my 1ESO students use "Young Persons Guide to the Orchestra", an online game created by the Carnegie Hall, to learn about musical instruments.

In spite of some problems -mainly, technical problems such as not having Flash player on some mobiles or tablets- the experience is really good: They learn a lot about musical instruments meanwhile they are practising and improving their English skills. Besides, they -at least, most of them- are having fun.

Once you have created your students' accounts, the game allows the teacher to keep the record of their work:

Nuevo curso completado

Ayer aparecieron las notas del curso Erasmus+: Evaluación de la calidad de las solicitudes y, superados todos los cuestionarios, se da el curso por completado.
A pesar de algunos problemas de organización, especialmente en lo que a los propios cuestionarios se refiere, el curso ha sido interesante y me deja muchas ideas a aplicar en los proyectos de Centro.

Embajada eTwinning en Asturias

Interesante presentación a cargo del Embajador eTwinning Arturo Encina (IES La Eria, Oviedo) en el CPR de Gijón, dentro de los contenidos del curso Programas europeos y otras iniciativas internacionales.
Además de explicar y comentar los fundamentos de eTwinning y las funciones de los embajadores eTwinning (café con eTwinning, incluido), Arturo destacó, entre otras cosas, los materiales y recursos disponibles en el blog "Embajadores eTwinning" y las posibilidades del proyecto europeo "The image of the other".

Musical instruments

I've created this Quizlet activity to review the musical instruments of the orchestra. The more you practise the easier to remember the names, both in English and Spanish, and the proper spelling.

My best wishes for the New Year
