Genially Activity

Some thoughts after using Genially in class: Taking into account this was the first time for me (and my students) using Genially, I must say it was not as user-friendly as we thought it would be at the very beginning, when we had a look at the app; that's why we needed to do an accurate planning in order to define every stage which would be followed not to make many mistakes and get the most out of Genially. The plan consisted on three different sessions before the oral presentation itself. In Stage 1, the group was established and the topic chosen; the activity was developed in 2º Bachillerato (second language) and since it is a small group formed by seven students we only did one group, dividing into sections their work. An idea came to my mind and after a short debate we thought about creating a TV show where everyone had their own part as a presenter (international and national news, sports, weather forecast, society, entertainment, etc.).

Due to the fact that the video didn't last longer than 3 minutes, I decided not to develop a "flipped classroom" in this case;

Reading as a way of life

Reading as a way of life I could say, without a doubt,  that I love reading. However, I cannot deny that I do not practice it as much as I would like to. We live immersed in a time where work, families, friends and society itself prevent us from having a relaxed time for our own hobbies (or this is at least my case, living in that super-technological and busy era ). What is beyond clear is that the act of reading should be a ritual, a non-guilty pleasure we are looking forward to enjoying at any time or in any place.  Among those pages, we will find answers, we will lose ourselves and above all, we will dream;  in a few words, it allows us not to feel lonely anymore. When I see and wonder about the images selected for this task, I mainly concentrate on two of them, as they make me think on my own experience. That Kind woman sharing a reading time with the little girl, promoting on her the real love for books ... it's, for me, as if you were  watering a seed wh
