The blog “Curious scientist” (http://curiousscientist2.blogspot.com.es/ ) has been created with the
purpose of strengthen the main content (including the language) worked with the
students of second of primary education in the subject of science. This blog
could be used during all the academic year containing the different topics
worked in the subject.
This blog has been created in
order to be used for both, the teacher and the students, each one with a
different purpose. The teacher can upload documents at his/her home and the
students could upload things at class with the help and supervision of the CLIL
teacher.
First of all, the teacher can
use it as a tool to make watch videos, read articles, do some quizzes, to the
students at home (flipped classroom). With the flipped classroom the students
do something related with the topic they are working in and then in class there
is more time for discussion, clarification of question about the topic and
activities in team group.
In the other hand, the
students can use it, for example, to upload photos and videos of the
experiments they do at class. They can take the photos, record the videos, and
then edit it with the computer. They can also record their voices explaining
the different steps to conduct the experiments and the materials required. This
way, the blog can be a summary of the main activities done and they can show it
at home.
To sum up, the blog that has
been created could be advantageous to reinforce the content of the subjects and
can be used for both, the students and the CLIL teachers.
