2.4 A TimeLINE

 

 In  this learning activity designed  and adapted for 3-year-olds, we used TimeToast to create a timeline of "Little Red Riding Hood" accompanied by images, aiming to enhance sequential understanding, visual-narrative connection, and digital tool familiarity. The platform's user-friendly interface and visual clarity significantly benefited the activity, allowing children to easily associate story parts with images and visualize the story sequence. We encountered challenges like the fact that at this age kids might find difficult to fiind the stories, or image upload issues, which were overcome by providing step-by-step guidance and preparing compatible images beforehand. 

Students reacted positively, showing increased engagement and enjoyment from actively participating in creating the timeline. For future improvements, an introductory session on TimeToast, more practice activities, and predesigned templates could further ease the process for young learners. 

TimeToast aided in achieving learning objectives by improving sequential understanding through visual sequencing, reinforcing memory with visual associations, and introducing young students to digital learning tools, preparing them for future digital educational activities.

5.3 Mini Proyecto Genially

     Our Superhero Project Last year, I had a great time teaching second grade. We did something really fun and creative. We made our daily superheroes.  We love superheroes because they can do amazing things and have cool stories. So, we decided to make our own. Each student got to think of their very own superhero.  First, we talked about what makes a superhero special, like their powers and where they come from. Then, everyone started creating. They thought about what powers their superhero would have, what they would wear, and what their story was. It was exciting to see all the different ideas!  To share our superheroes, we used a cool tool called Genially. It let us make a fun presentation with pictures and stories about our superheroes. Everyone made a slide for their superhero, and it looked great! The best part was when we showed our superheroes to the class. Everyone got to stand up and tell us about their superhero. It was fun to see all the different heroes we thought up an

6.5 Foro Interaction

 After reviewing the blogs of my fellow participants, I was particularly inspired by the use of TimeToast in one of their projects So, after reading it, for my final class activity with 3-year-olds, we're going to use TimeToast but in a very simple and fun way. We'll make a "My Day" timeline. I'll ask four parents to come and help, so we have one adult for each little group. Each group will draw pictures of what they do in a day, like eating breakfast, playing, or reading a book. Then, we'll stick these pictures on a big piece of paper in the order they happen from morning to night. The parents will help the kids talk about their pictures and put them in the right order. At the end, each group will show their "My Day" timeline to the class. This will help the kids learn about routines and how to tell stories with pictures. They'll also get to practice talking in front of friends with help from the parents. It's going to be a fun way to learn

2.2 Reading habits

Imagen
  After checking the pictes, I think we've got a bunch of different reading vibes going on, from cozy book corners to a lonely newspaper reader. Whether folks picked their own books or had them chosen by someone else probably depends on what's happening in each pic, like whether it's study time ( perhaps at the library one') or just chilling with their favorite reads. Now, when it comes to how everyone's feeling, I'd say it's a mixed bag. You've got the possibility of someone being totally lost in a book, loving every second, while someone else might be grinding through study material, feeling a bit more on the stressed side. And then there's the digital reader crowd, who could be anywhere from super relaxed to totally engaged with whatever's on screen. Diving into my own reading habits and preferences, here's the lowdown: What I Dig Reading: In English and Italian, I'm all about those fantasy novels... some magic and dragons, and I'
