Content curation tools

Hi everyone! My classmates and me are studing volcanoes. Our teacher tell us we have to make a volcanoe with recycle materials. We was searching by internet and we found a really interesting website  pintarest  where you can see some good ideas about any topic.  It is a very helpful tool to search information. You can see my example in pintarest   where I selected some ideas to make a model of a volcano. You can use other website to find some information or ideas about any topic,  some of the content curation tools are: Symbaloo: https://www.symbaloo.com List.ly:  https://list.ly/ Pearltrees:  https://www.pearltrees.com/ Padlet:  https://padlet.com/ From my point of view, Students and teachers must to have a digital bank of resources to find information in a easy and  quickly way. Pintarest is an ideal website to find ideas in a visual way, it is perfect to share with other your projects, ideas or whatever you think is really interesting to do in class. Als

It was very interesting! 1. Birds born from eggs Photograph by Noupload . CC0 1.0 Photograph by Angelo_Giordano . CC0 1.0 Photograph by Noupload . CC0 1.0 2.

CREATING AN AVATAR Welcome guys! My name is Mary. I am an Indian American girl and I am 12 years old. I really like nature and animals. I live with my family in a Indian Camp far away from the city. There is not any school close to my camp so I have to use the Internet to communicate with my teacher and my friends. I learnt a lot about ICTs and new technologies and I would like to show you everything about I learnt . https://www.voki.com/site/pickup?scid=14685011&chsm=19cf4631ee79662fe1a613ba42846058 Avatar like an helper to teach There are many reasons to use and avatar with our students. First of all, Mary will be the principal character who is going to teach contents to our students in a different and fun way. As teachers, we think using avatar is a very motivated way to catch children's attention.
