A webmix? Yes, it is a useful tool

Internet is plenty of educational resourses, but your complete and ideal unit for your students...I bet it does not exist at all.
Of course you have to prepare your own unit, with your own explanations and exercises. Something will came from a web, another thing from the other one, maybe a video from the Tube, and finally you usually work using several webs that sometimes can be forgotten.

Symbaloo provides you a webmix,  a personal desktop with all your useful web on it. Just click.

This is my personal webmix, with all my usual page to prepare for bilingual maths class:

Bilingual Maths

The ones in grey are videos.
The ones in yelow are pages with study guides and exercises. From here I would like to remark www.libredisposicion.es. This is my own page, in which I have load all the material that I have been elaborating in two years teaching bilingual maths. That is why this page is totally adapated to the Spanish Syllabus.
The ones in brown are tools to make crosswords and so on.
The ones in pink are games.
The ones in violet are pages with interactives exercises.
The one in green is a list to acces to mooooore web pages.
Of course, you are welcome to use it!


AICLE/CLIC Methodological aspects

Some new things have been learned about this topic, the most important is the fact that its not enought just to translate the ordinary class to English.
 It is necessary to add a list of exercises devoted to learn and reinforce the both the vocabulary and the expressions we expect to be learned by our students.
This kind of exercises can include sentences in which a hole has to be fillen in, crosswords, questions to be answered with a sentence.

Presentation

You can see a very fast presentation here:

Uso de Recursos Educativos Abiertos para el aprendizaje integrado de contenidos y lenguas extranjeras (AICLE)

Just finishing the second block of the course:

Uso de Recursos Educativos Abiertos para el aprendizaje integrado de contenidos y lenguas extranjeras (AICLE)

I have leant that:

1. AICLE means aprendizaje integrado de contenidos y lenguas extranjeras. This suppose you teach Math using both Spanish and English.

According to major expert, your students will learn both Math and English and besides, their cognitive patterns will be improved.

2. From forum discussions I have learned that:

  •  The bilingual project is a desirable professional challenge for all those teacher involved. 
  • This project is applied with very different criteria depending on the political ideas of each
  •  Spanish region.
3. From this course I expect to learn:
  • how interactive tools can help.
  • how can I get a bigger oral participation from my students.
