Being autonomous


Every day, at the end of the class, students can take this book and enjoy with videos or games we have already watched or played. It is a good way to reinforce what we have seen during the class and they end other tasks quickly.

Videos about landscapes and biomes


You can find these videos in YouTube.
I recommend you to watch the first one, just for enjoying the music and the images. It is quite moving
"Introduction to Biomes": 

It can be used as introduction and also as assessment, asking students to decide what kind of biome animal, plant, human or landscape belongs to.
"Savanna Grassland Biome": 

I like the first minute to show students different grasslands and their main features.
"World's Most Beautiful Landscapes": 

More than 7 minutes. For me it is a bit long.

In just one screen you can control: volume, cooperative work, time, drawing and writing, create QR codes...

My QR book


One idea I have applied this year per unit is keeping every QR code I use in class (videos, interactive activities, questions,...)
with all these QR codes they use autonomously we create a mini book and when we have tablet - time they can remember other topics we have already learned or just learn new ones. 
I share some examples of QR CODES...

SOMETIMES, I do a QR GYMKANA I share the sketch. the idea is to scan the QR CODES and then answer the questions. They do it in cooperative groups.

Quizizz assessment


YEAR 2
Every project they complete a TIC assessment, first in group and then cooperative.
I use different tools but this time has been with QUIZIZZ https://quizizz.com/
You are able to send homework by means of classroom or just copying the code. 
To be more autonomous I prepare this worksheet and I project into the digital board, then one by one or group by group scan the code and start playing.
The app allows you to download reports of children so that is really good for assessment. 
at this time we can't play to the codes appear on the worksheet as they have an ending date but here you can use mine:
They are really engaged!!!

How many words can you write?


It's quite similar to scattergories game. It's quite useful to work in groups, to feel confident and to review vocabulary. 
One letter is chosen by the teacher. Groups have to write words that begin with this letter in different categories: names, animals, cities... They have 2 minutes to write as many words as possible Teacher could change categories if necessary. 
The winner is the groups that write more words. We can play several rounds.
