Hello everyone,

Digital skills are very important for getting a job. Do you know DigCompEdu?
Teachers must develop their digital competence to face the new and rapidly changing demands.

This stunning interactive infographic created by Balbino Fernández shows us G-Suite applications such as Gmail, Drive, Docs, Slides, Sheets,  Maps, Calendar, Tasks, Classroom, Keep, Blogger, YouTube... which I have been using with my students for ten years to help them acquire and develop their digital competence. When we started we hung this globe from the ceiling and a cloud with a message: "Welcome to the cloud, welcome to the new world".

Today we want to congratulate Liverpool because they got the Premier League trophy after waiting 30years. They are champions of England, Europe and the world now.
There will be a parade and a mass celebration in that city when Coivid-19 restrictions allow.

It's fun to play an instrument. Virtual concert.

06:57 | Labels: , , , ,

Hello everyone,

How are you? I hope well in spite of the difficult circumstances we are living now.
Look at these students, do you know them? They can play different instruments.
They played some songs for their classmates during the lockdown and they got a big virtual round of applause. We all feel proud of you because you are brilliant musicians.




Sergio Can play the piano, Irene can play the violin and Erika can play the flute.
What about you? What can you play? What is your favourite instrument?

If you don't play any instrument, why don't you have a go in your school or village?
Is it difficult to think of the rhythm of the piece, the notes and the sound at the same time?

What type of music do you like playing?
This is Sant Joan where I live. Last Saturday students from the Music School performed.
If you like Queen or Abba you can go to 1:06 minute.

Which QUEEN songs/tracks can you recognise?
Which ABBA songs can you identify? 
I love this ABBA track called "The winner takes it all".

Hello everyone, 

Do you like Geology? And Petrology?

Rocks are made of minerals: calcite, quartz, feldspar, biotite...
How many types of rocks can you name? 
Look at this picture:

Do you think rocks are important for humans?  They are very important and they have been used for different purposes over the years. 
Have you ever painted on a rock? Look at these art projects. 

1) Macro-schematic Art can be found in some place in Alicante province and the famous painting "El Orante" can be seen in "The Sanctuary of Pla de Petarcos", which is Cultural Interest and Heritage of Humanity element, located in Castell de Castells.

2) Painting on rocks which have got different shapes can be funny.
