Colleagues!

  • This activity was extracted and adapted from the National Curriculum, for 1° Medio students.
  • The main objective of this activity was not just to encourage students to work collaboratively with their classmates but also to make them use different skills. 
  • In task 1, students were exposed to a video (listening skill) in which they had to use strategies; such as taking notes and summarizing (writing), to use that information to create their presentation. 
  • Furthermore, to encourage students to think outside of the box, in the second task they had to create 8 questions; which had to be based on their presentation, using either Mentimeter or Kahoot. 

We recommend these types of activities since they help students to acknowledge the importance of using and incorporating ICT´s in their future presentations.
