Slideshows to support our lessons

Slideshows help us teach a subject or a topic through visual elements in an attractive way and will contribute to making learning a more encouraging and motivating experience for our Primary students.

On our course most of our Master's Degree student teachers have chosen from a variety of tools to create presentations. Their favourite ones are:

1. Genial.ly: https://www.genial.ly/
2. Google Slides: https://www.google.com/slides/about/
3. Prezi: https://prezi.com/ 

After the design process they have presented their support slideshows to the rest of their classmates in order to receive some feedback on aspects they have found positive and those which need some improvement to be made.

Here you are some of these support slideshows:

• 'My emotionary' by Daniel Rodríguez:

• 'Earth ecosystems' by Sonia Martín:

• Uxxia's Genially about 'Blas de Lezo's life':

• 'The water cycle' by Catalina Rey: 

These are just a few of the many support slideshows they have created. Feel free to visit their learning journals (via the Pinterest widget on the right of this blog) and make the most of it since most of these presentations are ready-to-use resources for our CLIL lessons in Primary schools.

Creating and telling our own stories with Storybird

Storybird is a website which allows us to foster our storytelling creativiy in a fun way. It will help us boost our writing skills by creating beautiful colourful stories within minutes.
There are a ton of already published books by professional writers to be used in our lessons straight away. Or, and this is the best option in my opinion, you can invent and make up a new story yourself. Once it is finished, we have the chance to print or share high-resolution PDFs of our picture book or poetry in various formats.

Here you are an example of a picture book we have created at Máster Universitario en Enseñanza Bilingüe en Centros Educativos de Educación Primaria e Inmersión en Lengua Inglesa at URJC by gathering all of our tiny stories published on Twitter: Telling our Tiny Stories.
