Popplets about EUROPE

Utilizando las TICs para repasar, una vez terminada la unidad sobre las EUROPA, su geografía, su clima, su población,  la Unión Europea, trabajamos como siempre, realizamos nuestro mapa conceptual con Popplet.

Después los alumnos graban su explicación con la aplicación Screencast-O-Matic. 

Publican su entrada en su Portfolio Personal creado dentro de los blogs personales de Kidblog.

Y nos lo envían para poder corregirlo a traves de la red social educativa de Edmodo.

Estos son los trabajos de los alumnos de esta unidad.
