We like Infographics! Hey hey,  I have just discovered a new useful resource of this planet called Infographic. An infographic (information graphic) is a representation of information in a graphic format designed to make the data easily understandable at a glance. People use infographics to quickly communicate a message, to simplify the presentation of large amounts of data, to see data patterns and relationships, and to monitor changes in variables over time. It is online and similar to a poster. You can choose the topic that you want and explain it. It is very visual.  For example, in my Infographic, I made a guidline for a healthy diet for the children, because in my opinion they are essential for their daily life, nutrition for kids is based on the same principles as nutrition for adults. Everyone needs the same types of nutrients — such as vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, protein and fat. Children, however, need different amounts of specific nutrients at different ages

The Body Systems Mind Map  Hello every body, Today I would like to show you my body systems mind map.  This time, I have used a tool called Creately . A mind map is a diagram for representing tasks, words, concepts, or items linked to and arranged around a central concept or subject using a non-linear graphical layout that allows the user to build an intuitive framework around a central concept.

It allows you to visually structure your ideas to help with analysis and recall. When working with long topics in science, I think that mind maps are really useful for the students to have a general idea about the topic they are going to work on. Moreover, it allows the students to

Purpose Driven Life This time I will speak about Comics as Educational Resources in the classrooms.  I´d like to  share with you a great tool to create comics for our students, the  Pixton .  First thing you need to create your own account. The next step is to select the layout you want to use. Here you can choose from different ones, such as: story board, graphic novel, comic strip...etc.  In my Pixton, I have used the story board because I wanted to give a brief description about what is happening in the story.  Pixton is a cartoon creation tool that allows its users to create awesome comics. Pixton has also a growing community that anyone can access to contribute with their own comics. This tool is very easy to use and does not require any artistic skills to work on it. You can introduce it to your students and let them create their own comics and share them with each other. From fully posable characters to dynamic panels, props, and speech bubbles, every aspect of a comi

Hello everyone! Today I want to share with you my 3rd grade the Natural Science class, this unit it's about our body systems.  Hope you will like it!
