TWIMA8

Hello,

Today I would like to speak about #twima8 that is an educational collaborative project worldwide. In this project teachers and students from all the world have the opportunity to share their stories. All people have their own story and have the opportunity to share with others have a lot of benefits. Share stories create empathy and also you can learn from each other. Also listen people let you open your mind.  You can spend a little time learning from the others experiences.
I used the Flipgrid App in order to record my experience video. This platform, let people to connect and socialize with others. I used the webcam from my laptop, is so easy to use and very fast. You only need to be relaxed and share your history. Flipgrid allow you to record a video of just five minutes so you have to know before what you would like to talk.
With the hashtag #twima8 all stories are connected with each other.

I´ve really enjoyed record my video. I am a bit embarrassed to talk in front of a camera but I have to say that is funny. Also I have really enjoyed watching the videos of my classmates because now I know more about them and about their personal experiences.
As a teacher, being part of a worldwide project is a really good experience because put myself closer to other colleages that are teachers too. Even if they are far away from me, we are realize that our stories and experiences were not so different from each other.
Here you have my video:

Our students must be able to develop many competences and for them is very important to learn strategies to organize and analyze their knowledges. Infographic is a tool to create pictures with your computer. How we can do it? It is so easy, you have many webs where you can do it.
