Learning Objects: “Jigsawplanet”

48 Farm animals 55 Wild ani “Jigsawplanet” is a funny and interesting website since it lets you create different puzzles. Teachers can apply this tool to their classes, as students can revise vocabulary by solving puzzles. Besides, teachers can decide the amount of parts that the puzzle can have as well as the timing (it can be said that these options are part of the level of difficulty). I think that this page will engage students to participate in the classrooms while learning. This awesome website can be played by young and teen learners. In the two pictures that I shared, you can appreciate that I created two different puzzles about the topic “animals” (farm and wild animals).

This website allows its users to create eye-catching and various avatars such as folk people, animals, monsters, presidents, among others.

You will be amazed when you explore this excellent site, as it offers you plenty of possibility to work with it in the classrooms. On the left, you can appreciate my original avatar that is a firefighter- Susan. Susan will speak about the things that firefighters can and/or cannot do in their job. I highly recommend this website to work with students of all ages since it fosters creativity while learning.

Movie Maker is an amazing tool that allows everyone to create spectacular videos. You can make your personal videos, adding and omitting images. In addition, you can add voices, music or write short texts. It´s amazing! I uploaded a moviemaker which is a “voice over”. It consists of adding your voice instead of someone else´s voice. I know it can be difficult but working with this tool can be really funny. By doing a "voice over", students can practice phonetics and rhythm with this excellent activity. It is a worthy tool that everyone should explore.

It is a good idea to implement this extraordinary website to our classes since it allows students to work collaboratively.

"Ubiquitous Learning"

In this extraordinary video, we can observe that Nicholas Burbules efficiently explains the meaning of "ubiquitous learning". This innovative term refers to the use of technology- mobile technology- to optimize learning. As everyone has mobile phones nowadays, each individual has access to Internet to seek information or search the web for specific concepts, data, facts, etc. Besides, technology makes it possible to broad our minds. As Nicholas Burbules clearly depicts in his speech, ubiquitous learning will bring about sociocultural changes at education since teachers could create technological ways of learning such as blogs for students to practice, share and learn at the same time just by using their mobile phones. Undeniable is the fact that this amazing tool will help students in the learning process.
