Planning a Video Challenge Storyboard

Hello everybody,

Here I come with one more step in my road to create an eBook! This time I have created a video challenge storyboard.

To carry out this task I have worked with some peers of my university class: @MariaJLlopis @estefaniablanch and @MartaLFabero28.

We have created a really interesting and exciting story in which we have joined all the different topics of our eBooks.  We have based our story in planets, storytelling, arts and healthy habits.

At the beginning of the task we had several doubts because it was hard to join all those topics in a coherent story but, as you know, working with peers is great so we had several conversations and debates and finally we found out the way to mix all our topics in an amazing story.

We did a comic for our story and we used Pixton to do it. This is a really easy to use tool where you can design your own characters, dialogs and backgrounds. Something great about this tool is that you can change the face expressions of the characters and the different parts of their bodies.

So here it is our story, hope you like it!

Mindmapping

Hi everyone!

The last step for the moment is this one; I have created a mindmap showing all my CLIL-eBook contents. A mindmap is a kind of diagram used to visually organize information. It is created around a single concept, in this particular case, my science eBook.

I have designed it with Cacoo. This is a really intuitive and easy to use tool. You can create many kinds of diagrams and what I like the most about it is that it is really visual and clear. You can see all the contents at first glance!

Creating an infoEDUgraphic

Hello again lovely readers!

 After creating my outline of the ebook I created an infoEDUgraphics of it!

infoEDUgraphics are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge intended to present contents quickly and clearly. 

By creating this infoEDUgraphic I showed all the contents related to my ebook in a motivating way. 

Here it is my design,I used Canva to make it,

Hope you enjoy it!

eBook skeleton

Hello again!

The next step in our road to create an eBook is to decide what it is going to be about and which things it is going to contain.

The first thing that I had to think about was the subject I wanted to create my eBook for. I decided Science, and you may ask: why science? because science may be a really motivating and enjoyable subject if you know how to deal with it.

To create this outline, that is the skeleton of the future eBook, it is necessary to take into account different things such as student outcomes, objectives of the work, competences that are going to be developed through it, methodology, tasks and the main big activity.

Here I leave you my own eBook skeleton.

Evaluating eBooks and creating a collavorative bank of content

Dear readers,

The first step to create an eBook is to understand how an eBook should be like. That way, evaluating other eBooks helps a lot to realize what needs to be include and how it should be done in order to make a clear and enjoyable work.

After this step I started to look for some different contents that my eBook should include such as different tools and apps that may be used on it. I created a collection of some of them and I share it by using Symbaloo.

Have a look at them here!

First step: learning by twittering

Good evening everyone! 

To start with I would like to say that I started this project of creating an eBook with lots of mates, who are creating their own ones, at our masters in the URJC University of Madrid and being taught by our ICTS teacher @mjgsm.

The first step that we did was to create a twitter account in order to share all the new tasks and projects that we were going to take part in. In my opinion this was a really good idea because in this way you can follow not only things related to my own work but also with my peer´s. You can take a look at our course hashtag #ictclil_urjc .

It would be a great idea to create a class account on twitter in order to take part of this fantastic way of sharing and learning new things.

Welcome to this ICTS and science blog!

Welcome everyone! 

This is my first post of the blog; I would like to invite you to follow all the different things that I am going to share with you in the next months.

Through this blog I will show you the different steps that I have followed in order to create my own science eBook.

This eBook will be related to food and health and it will include lots of interesting contents and activities that you may find really interesting and enjoyable.

If you have doubts about any of the publications you can always contact me and I will be glad to answer all your requirements.

Hope you enjoy it!

Nora.
