Individual exercise (IX·IV)

〜Researching in education〜

                                                        

    In this last part of the Lesson 9, we had to do 2 exercises: the individual one and the one in groups.

INDIVIDUAL EXERCISE

    This exercise consists on selecting an app for helping the teaching in class. We had to follow the following steps:

    * Name of the app: Nearpod

    * URL: https://nearpod.com/

    * Brief overview: Nearpod is an app that allows you to create interactive presentations in a comfortable and guided way. It is a presentation platform that seeks to use interaction elements with the aim of involving students.

    * Main features: creating videos or presentations with interactive activities.

    * Explain how it was found: I found this app through Google Chrome, by searching different apps for creating interactive presentations.

    * Explain what it will be used for: this app would be used for creating a presentation about the topic of my group project (the Solar System), so it could have different slides with exercises and interactive pictures. This app would be so useful for catching the attention of students and increase their interest on the topic.

    * Add sample screenshots of what has been created and link if allowed: this is the link to the little example I created: https://share.nearpod.com/hoCJTTPmsfb

I have also decided to create another activity. It is a word search puzzle, in which kids will have to look for the planets that are written on it.
