INTERESTING WQ's!

HELLO EVERYBODY! A continuació adjunto un llistat de Web Quests que he trobat interessants per algun aspecte o altre (totes tenen els seus punts forts i dèbils). Us especifico la temàtica i la URL de cadascuna. Espero que trobeu alguna que us agradi!

• Les Vanguàrdies literàries (Secundària): http://www.educ.ar/sitios/educar/recursos/ver?id=124532&referente=docentes 

• Les Plantes (Primària): http://platea.pntic.mec.es/~jferna5/recursos/4sesion/grupo3Nuria/WebQuestJavier/Inicio.htm

         Aquesta és molt senzilla, però pot servir per introduir el tema.

• El cicle de l'aigua (Secundària): http://eduteka.icesi.edu.co/articulos/WQ_cie0001

• La Gravetat (segon cicle d'ESO): http://www.xtec.cat/~jgarc322/lagravedad.htm

         És molt atractiva i motivadora. A més, fomenta l'aprenentatge cooperatiu.

• Bullying (secundària): http://www.xtec.cat/~cescude/Z9WQ03%20Tasques.htm

         Aquesta promou l'aprenentatge cooperatiu i fa que s'analitzi la realitat en què                        es viu.

• Les bactèries als aliments (últim cicle de Primària o primer de Secundària): http://www.buenosaires.gob.ar/areas/educacion/niveles/primaria/programas/aulasenred/wq/wq_bacterias/index.htm

         És molt específica i tècnica. Pot ser bona si es vol treballar el tema en                                    profunditat.

A més, he trobat una pàgina web on s'ofereixen WQ ordenades per matèries, on es detalla l'objectiu, el nivell i l'autor de cadascuna d'elles: http://platea.pntic.mec.es/~erodri1/BIBLIOTECA.htm

Espero que entre tots facem una bona biblioteca de WQ's per tenir eines per endinsar-nos en el món 2.0 !!!

Estem en contacte virtual!! ;)

ELS MEUS INICIS DE MESTRA...

Com podeu veure, aquest blog no és actual. El vaig crear ara ja fa uns anys, quan encara era estudiant universitària i començava a experimentar què era això de fer de mestra.

Vaig haver de posar a la pràctica la utilitat d'aquest blog amb el grup d'alumnes amb què feia les pràctiques. És per això que adjunto una fotografia d'una de les sessions que vaig fer amb ells. Com ha passat el temps!!

Sembla curiós que ara pugui tornar a utilitzar el mateix blog per ensenyar als alumnes que tinc actualment, ja que són ben diferents: es tracta d'adults que comencen a estudiar l'anglès des del nivell bàsic. Això sí, he d'actualitzar el blog, ja que, amb el temps, ha perdut enllaços, imatges,... Això em fa veure que en el món de les TIC's has d'estar sempre a l'aguait i actualitzant-te, sinó et quedes desfasat!

Una salutació a tots!!!

Nadine.
