Here I'm telling my story in images!



About me and this project

As I started teaching in St. Bonaventura school, my personal view of teaching started changing, too. 

The need of including new ways of teaching, introducing more and more ict applications and letting students be more creative has become more obvious to me. Therefore, I presented a blog to my students and they are becoming more and more involved in the tasks and questions I propose. 

But when I thought if it was enough I signed in the course ITC for XXI Century students in CEP Manacor. This course was so much motivating that I started to add an avatar presentation (voki) to my schoolblog, my homepage is my symbaloo webmix, I created two webquests and I continue working on lots of new activities to use with all the new internet applications we have learnt. 

The end of course task was to create our e-portfolio. I enjoyed so much this course that I decided to keep this project as my own personal presentation. Now I have started another interesting course on DigitalStory Telling that I'm sure we all will enjoy. And therefore, I have created a new blog.
