Summary of the first term

ICT's in English

Made by:Izadi Egizabal

How far can we get with our ICT's?

The first thing we did was to answer this quiz in a questionnaire. We answered all kind of enquiries such as whether we have a gmail account, if we know to write a blog post, if we can use different tools of Google Docs/Drive...

Creating a group of contacts in Gmail

Secondly, we created a group of contacts in Gmail for the whole class. So we could share with them anything we need, want. For that, we sent an email to Ana, our teacher, and then, she answered us back with all people's email addresses. When we had all of them, it was easy to create the group.

Creating our blog

When we had already done the group, we created our own blog using Blogger. We've been using it as a notebook, to show all works we've done.

Other basic setting options

After we created the blog, we configured it: changing the title, giving Ana author privileges, allowing anybody to comment (with our permission) and putting the language of it in English.

Changing the appearance of our blog

Then, we changed its appearance, making it personal. We customized the template, the background, the font size, type and colour...

Starting blogging

The first post we had to write was about social networks and in order to know more of it we answered some related questions , the pros and cons, the risks... In the final post we gave our opinion to anyone who is going to enter in this world, helping to choose the Network and getting started with it.

Writing our second post

After we revised our first article, we started with the second one. We composed it about different topics such as ecology, the conflict between adults and teens, voyages in Europe, instruments...(in my case I wrote about my trip to England).

Including

To complete the Blog we included Gadgets like visit counters, list of useful links... In my case I put the previous ones and an online dictionary, a world globe that locates those visits, a big clock and a fishbowl.

Making collaborative stories On the one hand, we "studied" or at least revised how to use Google Docs/Drive to share documents and to do it collaboratively. On the other hand, we learned a different way of doing stories. One person started with the beginning of the anecdote and then the rest of the group (we worked in groups) continued until it was finished. When they were finished we chose the best of each group in class.

Using spreadsheets to do a timetable

We learned to use Google Docs/Drive to make a document, and then to use it to create timetables with spreadsheets. We did it with our school schedule.

Nobel prize winners

To finish with the term we experimented the advantages of Google Docs/Drive for team work. The teacher created a spreadsheet and the whole class wrote in it about the Nobel Prize Winners throughout the last 12 years. Then, each of us chose a winner and wrote a post about him/her.
