Mobile apps for education

Although not yet as ubiquitous yet as conventional computer programs, countless mobile apps have made their way into the classrooms. There are even companies that help schools and educators create their own mobile apps customized to meet explicit needs or achieve specific objectives.

One of them is App Inventor for Android, that is a free web application provided by Google. It uses a graphical interface which allows users to drag-and-drop visual objects to create an application that can run on Android devices.

Using it, I have programmed one Android app to help students to revise the vocabulary related to tools (and it would be easy to modify it to add new vocabulary) You can download and install it on your android mobile. Just click here.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2015

During this term, our students of the first year of E.S.O. have been studying wood and paper. They have also made some Christmas trees using recycled paper. This year has been the second time we do this activity and we are proud of them, because they are beautiful (as you can see in the pictures below):

Leaflets

Hi everybody. Come back again to work.

This year we're reading a book called "Holes" by Louis Sachar. I find it quite interesting to read and learn about human nature and behaviour. It's also an example of spirit of personal achievement and constant change.

I love it and I hope my students of I3A will love it as much as I do. We're going to do some extra activities on the book. The first one has overcome all my expectations. The students have done a really good job so I'd like to share it with you. I hope you enjoy it.

I2A Interviews 2014

The students of I2A have recorded a video interview talking and summarizing their impressions and experience throughout the whole course. Eventually, they try to give a piece of advice to future students. There are some fun moments and some others of complete blessed madness. We sincerely hope  you like it.

Glogster

Glogster is a social network that allows users to create free interactive posters, or Glogs. A "Glog", short for "graphics blog", is an interactive multimedia image. It looks like a poster, but readers can interact with the content. You can design interactive posters. You can insert text, images, photos, audio (MP3), videos, special effects and other elements into your glogs to generate a multimedia online creation.

This is one of the glogs that our students of the second year have created about Ireland:
