A presentation with genially

You will have to create a presentation using Genially. For that, follow these links to get help.
The presentation should be about any aspect related to the environment.
Ask for help if you need any.

Stages to do a Genially in class

• Present a plan which shows clearly the staging of the activities that the students used to prepare the project (e.g. Stage 1. Choose topic and establish groups; 2) choose modality of Genially…)

1. First, we were dealing with the issue of environment and environmental problems so they decided to to a genially on how to recycle better.

2. The small groups looked on a suitable source of information, and they decided on an article each. As we don’t always have access to the computer room, they finally reached an agreement and decided to do something about recycling. 

3, For that, they were investigating on the different templates, as they did not have any previous experience on Genially and they chose a quiz. We also watched a tutorial which I uploaded on the blog.

4. Again in the small groups, they chose one question each (they are 20 students organised in 5 groups of 4 people). They also had to search for images and the way to write them for the quiz.

5. Then, one representative of each group was chosen as a spokesperson because they had to decide on common things such as the background, the same way to answer the questions, etc,

6. Finally, the representatives did the presentation while the rest of the groups decided on how to present it orally. Each group had to talk about why was everything chosen and how they reached agreements.

7. Last but not least, the spokespeople did the presentation in class and decided that every person in every group should go to other groups of the ESO and Bachillerato students to introduce their presentation,

• Comment on how decisions were taken as to the grouping of students and timings of the process.

The decisions all had to be made within the groups and quite quickly, as we only had two hours in this particular subject to do it. There was a timer set on the computer and although it was quite stressful, they also learnt to organise their time better.

• A sample of any additional materials you used (handouts, project planners etc.)

A handout of the article https://www.google.es/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=2ahUKEwjW27DvsYrmAhUK8hQKHQGrBLAQFjAAegQIAhAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2018%2F05%2F29%2Fclimate%2Frecycling-wrong-mistakes.html&usg=AOvVaw3_6bBhWLCjOHLU7G08NLSe

They also downloaded the best images they found. Some were from Genially, some were from the web, trying to choose free images.

• Links to the projects realised by your students (you can choose the best ones to upload)

https://view.genial.ly/5dd7f04351a61a0f71d6f86d/learning-experience-challenges-recycling

• Video, Audio and/or photos of the presentations.

There was no video. Only the photographs seen in the presentation.

• Lastly, do not forget to reflect on how the use of the tool has optimised your students’ learning experience and has helped you achieve the objectives. Would you change anything?

They were not aware of this type of interactive presentations with Genially and they quickly loved the idea of doing something with it. Again, as in the other activities in this course, the limited use of computers we have makes everything a little harder.

Timelines with Timetoast

• The learning objectives of the activity:

The objectives were: to raise awareness of the 19th century literature

To learn about the lives of the Brontë sisters

To reflect about the story we are reading now: Wuthering Heights.

To raise awareness of the situation of women writers and compare it to this day and age.

• The advantages of using TimeToast for this activity

By using Timetoast they could reflect about the life of the three sisters and its influence on their books.

• The steps you followed to set up the activity

I gave them this page to read and also the reader we are dealing with, Wuthering Heights. With these two things, they could decice whether to do the timeline abour their life, the book, or the period. First we read both texts, the book and the webpage. Then, I explained the way to do the timeline. In the timelines they had to include one link and photographs of their choice to illustrate it.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/bronte_sisters.shtml

• Any problems and how you and the students solved them. As they are Bachillerato students, no problems arose, and they did the timelines at home, some individually, some in pairs.
• The students’ reaction – how did they feel about using TimeToast to complete the task?

They enjoyed the activity and saw the possibilities of creating timelines with other subjects.

• Some things that you would change / improve next time

Perhaps I would tell them to choose the photographs more carefully and see if the links worked.

• At least 3 ways that the use of TimeToast helped you achieve your learning objectives

It helped to reflect more carefully on the elements of the Brontë’s life present in the book

It helped to set the novel in its right period of history

It helped to raise awareness of the situation of women writers.
