In this class, most of our classmates were in a course and we take in one day two classes. This was the reason why I am talking about to different days.

First of all we did a questionnaire about what are the main skills a teacher should have. In one of those skills we talk about infographics. The infographic is an informative visual representation or diagram of written texts that summarizes the information. It could be animated even with sounds. The infographics transmits the information graphically in a more dynamic, lively and imaginative way. This is very interesting to know how to do it because students learn better with pictures that lead the students in their learning.

After that, talking about how to give lessons we talk about flipped classroom. This a way of learning in which the student learn out of the classroom. One example is unicoos which is a youtube channel in which David Calle explains mathematical lesson to his students. This innovative way gives the opportunity of practicing what the students learn in their houses in the class and save time.

Then, we learn about how to create an easy website that we could use it in class with our classmates. Google site gives us the chance to do it. We practice it creating one.

Finally, we learn about ICT for the teaching in English. Last year we talk about this type of resources:

·        Presentations and instructions. The teacher gives us resources to create videos to present any type of subject in our classes.

·        Storytelling. It exists some pages in which you can create funny and dynamic stories to your classmates.

·        Limerick. A type of silly poem which you can use it to rhymes and sounds of letters.

In my opinion, this class was very interesting because we learn about different types of resources to use it in our future teaching. Most of them were not unknown for us. For example, I have never heard about flipped house but I think it is very useful because your students can listen your explanations whatever they need it or want it and you can use your class to answer questions and to practice every lesson. In this way, you can make progresses.
