My Open Educational Project

Hello everyone!!!

I´m glad to share with you another interesting post today. It is about an educuational project I have created. This the first approach to my project, but I want to post it with all of you in order to give you some ideas for your classroom.

How have I created this projected?

First of all, I thought about a subject in the school that I liked: Natural Science. Then, it was a little bit difficult to decide the topic because I love many of them, but finally I reached one: "People and the environment". I decided to relate my educational project to this topic since I think, our environment is a very important issue that we must concern, and students as future citizens must be aware of the serious problem of pollution that nowadays is presented in our lives.

Once I had my topic on mind, I filled a template with the most important aspects we must take into account when planning a CLIL lesson: level, sessions, aims, key concepts, skills we want our students to achieve, 4C´s of CLIL (Content, Communication, Cognition and Culture), teacher´s and students´ roles, resources we are going to use for the whole lesson and the assessment.

Finally, I recorded a video with my mobile phone and some drawings I created, in order to sum you up the whole educational project. After recording it, I edited it adding some music and transitions, with Wondershare Filmora.

What have I learnt?

This challenge has been very interesting for me, because I think it is an easy way to plan an educational project. The first step you have to take is to fill the template and then you can add more information and develop it completely.

As you may know, I like to innovate and introduce new challenges to my students and new resources. I think with this educational project that I´ve got in mind, students will learn discoverning and having a good time, as they will feel a little bit more "free" from the classic classroom. It will also help our students regarding the social aspect as they will have to interact with their groups and they will have to learn how to work with different people and not always with their friends or the people they want.

 Through this methodology children learn how to be more autonomous as well as taking responsibilities.

Here I embed my brief video and below you can see the whole information in the template.

I hope you put this into practice too and write comments about your experiences working on it!!

See you soon with another incredible post!!
