Mi práctica educativa

Tras reflexionar sobre mi práctica educativa, he elaborado este infograma con tres diapositivas en Genial.ly. ¡Espero que os guste!


Empezando en eTwinning

Estos días han estado llenos de novedades y descubrimientos, relacionado todo ello con el curso del INTEF que estoy haciendo, Proyecta eTwinning

En primer lugar, he vuelto a rescatar del baúl, herramientas como Powtoon con la que he preparado mi presentación en el foro del grupo. En segundo lugar, he vuelto a refrescar mi Blog (este en el que nos encontramos ahora), el cual tenía ganas ya de volver a utilizar y tras leer el bloque de contenidos, he realizado el mapa conceptual con una herramienta que no conocía y que me ha encantado, Mindomo, ¡os la recomiendo!. Por último,me he inscrito en la plataforma www.etwinning.net y he descubierto algunos aspectos que me han parecido muy interesantes y que quiero compartir con vosotros:

En primer lugar, una vez editado nuestro perfil, desde eTwinning Live en la sección People podemos contactar con aquellos profesores que conozcamos en la plataforma y pedirles ser contactos de ellos  y nuestros. Asímismo, podemos seguir a alguien que nos resulte interesante y del que queramos estar al día en lo que va realizando en eTwinning. Además, hay un apartado de búsqueda de socios para realizar un proyecto en común que me parece muy interesante y que tengo que explorar durante las próximas semanas..

Otro aspecto muy interesante es el apartado de My interest desde el cual podemos explicar un proyecto que tengamos ilusión por hacer y desde el que nos gustaría  colaborar con otros compañeros. Este aspecto es crucial, pues podemos delimitar el nivel de edad de los alumnos y la/s materia/s que está directamente relacionada con el proyecto.

Además, en la sección Events, podemos crear un evento interesante que queramos compartir, o bien informarnos sobre otros eventos creados por diferentes personas.

Finalmente, la sección Projects me parece muy interesante, pues en ella podemos buscar un tema en concreto sobre el que desarrollar una cooperación con otro centro. A partir de palabras clave o realizando una búsqueda por temas específicos, podemos encontrar proyectos que están en marcha y que buscan colaboradores. Posteriormente, entiendo que en la sección Groups aparecerían los centros que se han agrupado para desarrollar ese proyecto. Ya solamente por esto, por las tremendas posibilidades que esto supone, me ha merecido mucho la pena hacer este curso.

Un saludo y hasta pronto


Tras la lectura y estudio de los materiales del curso eTwinning, aquí os dejo el mapa conceptual que he creado con la herramienta Mindomo. Como siempre, espero que os guste. Un saludo

Hola a todos de nuevo,

Hoy quiero dejar a quí mi presentación "Si yo fuera". !Espero que os guste!

THE HEARING AND THE QUALITIES OF SOUND




Today I’m going to show you my music didactic unit called:

  HEARING AND THE QUALITIES OF SOUND” (created with CLIL template design).




  To start with, this unit has been designed to students in 2º level of music in a secondary school, about 14 years old, and it expects to achieve different OUTCOMES  such as:


-          Knowing how the ear works so that hearing a sound.
-          Knowing the properties of sounds.
-          Distinguishing between sound, noise and silence.
-          Understanding the effects of noise pollution in our life.
-          Distinguishing different musical notes and signs.

What I’ve attempted to do with the design of the didactic unit is to raise awareness about the importance of silence and noise pollution in our health and how the qualities of sound affect our experience and perception of music. In fact, nowadays is a big problem so many children are far too much exposed to high levels of sound in their normal life.




All new VOCABULARY that is necessary to understand is related to qualities of sound (pitch, duration, intensity and timbre), parts of our ear (eardrum, cochlea, auditory nerve, etc.), sound, noise and noise pollution, and musical language (notes, notes values, flat, sharp, natural, etc.). There are plenty of new words and for that reason I’ll give a Glossary (The qualities of sound) to the students at first of the unit with all words classify by nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs and prepositions.



The TASKS that I’ve designed along the 7 sessions of the unit have specific outcomes:

1. To present de subject we will watch specific videos in the first five minutes of the class in order to awaken interest about the subject:

VIDEOS:                                                                                            
Auditory transduction                                                               


2. In order to practice vocabulary and language structures linked to the subject I’ve chosen interactive activities to do in class. These activities attempt to facilitate the learning of words by heart.



3. I’ve also prepared different activities in order to revise and make sure the contents have been learned correctly such as “Filling the gaps”, “Set of cards” or even an app to measure de level of volume around us.

FILLING THE GAPS:                                                               SET OF CARDS
Filling the gaps about the anatomy of ear                               Musical notes

APP:

4. Finally I’ve prepared to the pupils some activities to go in depth and to investigate, like watching an amazing music video which the performers use the vibrations as an instrument or an activity with comics in order to draw the effects of noise pollution in our town.

Vibrations                                                                                        Pixton

My ORGANISATION and CLASS DISTRIBUTION are prepared in seven sessions and the methodology will be active and participatory and we’ll attempt to train all language skills in every class (listening, speaking, writing and reading). We will also do different activities in pairs or in a small group in order to reinforce the co-operative learning. I’ve included completing activities in the student’s book as well.

1-We’ll watch and listen to the video “Auditory transduction” in order to introduce the topic about how the ear works (5’). Next we’ll read the textbook about sound and how is produced (30’)and after that we’ll do the video activity “The anatomy of ear” and discuss in group about it (20’).

2- We’ll watch the videos “How the ear works 1 and 2” (10’) and I’ll ask them about the specific vocabulary that we’ve already learnt (20’). After that we’ll do a writing activity about the anatomy of ear (filling the gaps)(15’). At home they will have to revise the activity called “The interactive ear” in order to reinforce what we’ve done in class. To finish the class we’ll watch the video “Vibrations”(5’).

3- We’ll watch and listen to the video “The human hearing range” (5’) and after that they will discuss in pairs about what was their auditory threshold and comment with the rest of the group (15’). Next we’ll read the textbook about noise and noise pollution (15’). We’ll also use an app called “Sound level meter” in order to find out the level of sound that surround us (5’). Right after we’ll watch and listen to the videos “Noise Pollution” and “ Noise health effects” with a brief discussion in the big group about it (10’).

4- We’ll watch and listen to the video “4’33’’ and discuss with their partner about if this is music or not (10’). Right after we will read the textbook about silence and discuss about its importance in music (35’). I will also encourage them to do a comic about noise pollution and silence for strengthening their knowledge about it using Pixton (5’).

5- I’ll give them a glossary with the main words of the qualities of sound and we’ll watch the presentation “Qualities of sound” (15’). After that we’ll read the textbook about that and do the writing activities in the textbook (20’). We’ll finish the class doing the interactive activity “Musical notes” (15’).

6- I’ll give them a Set of cards with different notes with different qualities of sound (pitch, intensity, duration and timbre) and they will have to guess what note have their partners, making questions such as: is your note higher than C? or louder than mp? or less long than minim? (25’). After that we’ll do a revision activity and they will have to explain in a group of four people one of the qualities of sound to their classmates on the blackboard (25’).

7. The final test. The final task will consist in analyze a music score and identify what and where the elements of sound are. Besides that, they will have to writing a text, reading questions, listening to the video and answer oral questions about contents. They also will do a self-assessment.


Finally, my EVALUATION CRITERIA are described below:

-  To know how the ear works and its parts.
- To distinguish between sound, noise and silence and knowing its differences.
- To identify every quality of sound: pitch, duration, intensity and timbre in a music score.
- To compare and analyze different sound each other and find what have in common and what are their differences.
- To understand the importance of the silence and to avoid noise pollution.
- To know different musical signs, such as notes, notes values, tie, dot, fermata, etc.
