Nowadays, the language teaching process is not an isolated subject; on the contrary, teachers need to implement content to other subjects in order to teach a language in a meaningful way avoiding the traditional and grammatical classes. So one of the most uses subjects is the natural science for that reason, I like this website that provides interesting resources to implement in classes, and gives ideas for teachers who are starting to implement science in their classes. In addition, I want to mention that use engaging and interesting activities the students learn easily.

Una buena infografía que resume estudios con resultados del efecto de los videojuegos en el aprendizaje de la educacion superior, cosa que no habia visto mucho. Además, el inicio es bastante claro, hacer un videojuego "serio" o educativo es doble reto: lograr los objetivos de aprendizaje propuestos y diseñar un gameplay igualmente divertido, motivador, estimulante... es la diferencia entre un videojuego educativo de un juego didactico.

"At the Serious Play Conference this week we heard numerous educators, administrators, and game designers talk about their history and experience with gaming in the classroom. The three themes around most of the discussions were how to select games, how to get other teachers or administration on board, and lesson/classroom planning. Here’s the top 5 tips for diving headfirst into the gaming world."

The task of learning essential creative skills is transformed from boring written material work to an engaging, student-centric experience. The online resources are strongly combined into the learning sequence for the year 10 geography classroom. The online resources establish provide the task with the most appropriate design for students to use. For my curator insight the first resource I found was google classroom. My insight explains how the resource of google classroom can be used to support awareness into the sorts of materials, tools and equipment that students can used in classroom environments globally. Google classroom provides an online space where students can access digital work. Students do not have to be at school to access this online platform giving them additional time for working on online projects as they can access it from home. Teachers can also provide students with specific instruction for certain task benefiting the student’s knowledge on the task at hand. The online site allows for online platform sharing so students can publish their work whenever they want.
