Virtual Round Table Web Conference
Hello everyone! This weekend we had the opportunity to attend to one of the most important and recognised Web Conferences worldwide: The Virtual Round Table Web Conference.
We want you to know about it! The idea was thought by our ICT teacher Mª Jesús but we want to thanks every of the members and organizers of the Conference as well.
We had to present our E-project and shared it with the world! Teachers and people involved in the Education field from all over the world were prepared to hear us, so...we choose a co-presenter member of the team in order to show and explain our e-project.
The member chosen was our beautiful Ana and she had to be online with her Webcam speaking and explaining the project during 5-10 minutes! Then, other mates in our ICT module of the masters course had the turn to speak as well.
During the broadcast of our class, there were some difficulties because of the internet connection, Pablo Almansa and Billy Joel Ramos (two of our classmates) lost their connection but they could explained their e-project properly at the end.
Meanwhile, Mario and Maria had to write and comment all what Ana was saying by our Twitters accounts and the Science project account too.
If you want to take a look the comments and tweets you only have to follow us and read them!

and the account of our project that you already know! (@BreakingScience)
The hashtags used were: #ictclil_urjc and #vrtwebcon
We are very proud of our project, experiments, podcast, news, ideas, etc....
But we are also proud of the support received for all of you...On one hand, students of Primary Education who did the experiments and participated with us through the blog and on the other hand, teachers and educators. Thanks a lot!
Finally, special thanks to our ICT teacher, Mª Jesus... without your help anything had been possible!
You can also follow her on twitter she is a great tweep and has a lot of followers!
We are in touch, see you soon and have a nice Sunday.

Proposals, apps, tools and multimedia content
Hello kids! Today we are going to show you some apps and tools we have found for you.
Hello teachers! As you have read, you can also see the multimedia content in order to take information for your future lessons or activitites.
We hope you enjoy with our ideas!
Have a nice Easter's holiday and break the science...
1. SEED GERMINATION
The tool we use in this activity is Blendspace. It is a project about the Seed Germination
Blendspace, is one of our new favorite presentation platform, this makes presentations incrementally more engaging!
Participants will need to login to participate in a presentation, but fear not! You can use your Google Account to login.
You can choose varied layouts, be colorful and sequence your presentation the way you want it! Here's what's awesome about the layout: Not only can the participant play the slideshow in the order you sequence, they can also from the layout view, choose their own order.
LINK http://blnds.co/1itG53M
The rubric that teachers can use in order to assess their students in this activity is the following one:
2. HOW DOES A TORNADO FORM?
This activity is called "How does a tornado form"? The task has to be done in pairwork. The children will do step by step the different slides. They can look for the information when is needed in the Internet (for example, in the case of searching what are the most frequent places where a tornado occurs).
The instructions are given through voice comments. Voicethread is a tool you can store as a iPhone or Android app. Also, it allows you combinationing visual and recorded media which is perfect for creating multimedia presentations in a relatively short time frame using simple tools. It also prompts students to think carefully about what they are going to say before recording themselves These are the main characterisitics of the VoiceThread. It is only an example how you as teacher can use this tool. The objective is that the children will make a VoiceThread themselves with the guidance of the teacher. It is easy to use, and the pupils find it motivating because they have to record their voices.

3. EARTH'S DAY DEBATE
The app we have used is Voxopop. It is a useful tool for creating oral debates where students can develop opinion by debates with mates and teachers. We have created a talkgroup with the name of "Breaking Science Group" and you can discuss about our next project: Earth's Day.
The rubric teacher can use is the next one:
4. PINTEREST ACTIVITY
Pinterest is a fantastic tool where everybody can "Pin" whatever you want. You can use it properly where you create folders or spaces with different information, pics, videos, etc. Students can research and add if they want!Use it and enjoy!
The model of an assessment for students is this one:
5. PURPOSE GAMES
In this activity the kids will answer to a test about the countries in Europe, a regular test usually made with a worksheet but this time we use the ICT adventages. This way, the activity is more attractive for the students. This test appears on the Spanish test CDI and this contents are quite important.
To solve the activity they have to press 'start' and the timer will start and they will have to press the dot related to the country appearing on the screen.

6. QUIZ BEANS

Collaborative presentation
Hi mates!
This is our first collaborative presentation. It was made by Google Drive.
This tool lets you send large files to your colleagues, clients and friends directly from your Gmail account. Moreover, it has its own mobile application which gives you access to your files on your iPhone or smartphone, no matter where you are!
Also, Google Drive allows users to open various types of files. It is pretty good that Google Drive and Google Docs are complementary programs. Google Docs lets you create documents, spreadsheets and presentations online, and work simultaneously with partners or colleagues on a same document. Changes appear in real time and are saved for thirty days, which makes it possible for you to view earlier versions of your documents. Google Docs also allows you to add certain access privileges to your files and determine who can view, edit or comment a shared document.
The program is free!
We decided to download the document as PDF file. Later on, in order to create a embed code to share the work with all of you, we create an account on SlideShare. Good online tool where you can share your own work by labelling and visualize other presentations.
