Bringing Colegio San Gregorio and Book ME-Library together!

This is the beauty of e-connections and how taking advantage of ICT resources and social networks can bring peer teachers with alike interests together around a common rewarding mini-project that turns out to be an e-connected means to foster reading, writing and digital skills among Primary Bilingual students.<br /><br />The story of this e-connection starts in a University classroom (URJC), with a group of future teachers taking the Master's Degree on The Use of ICT and Web Resources in Primary Bilingual Education, and approaching Challenge Based Learning through the development of various <b><a href="http://stopandlearnenglish.blogspot.com.es/p/ictclilurjc-blog-roll.html" target="_blank">projects</a></b>, which will enable them to embrace this methodology with their own students when having the chance to teach real, but at the same time, seeking for project testers, that is, current teachers looking forward to putting the projects into practice in their own ongoing lessons.<br /><br />One of those students is <a href="http://twitter.com/somar0209" target="_blank"><b>Billy Ramos</b></a>, working on the <b><a href="http://bookme-library.blogspot.com.es/" target="_blank">Book ME-Library project</a></b> to encourage reading and writing skills with mobile devices.<br />As soon as he is ready for his creations to be tested, I start my Twitter engine and post several calls there as well as in Facebook, where the overall experience is now part of the <b><a href="http://30goals.com/" target="_blank">30 Goals Challenge</a></b> and we have become inspire leaders for other teachers around the world to accomplish the <a href="http://stopandlearnenglish.blogspot.com.es/2014/05/connecting-e-teachers-with-e-students.html" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">eStudents Connecting and Creating</a> goal.<br /><br />Among many other collaborative colleagues, to whom I am sincerely thankful, <a href="http://twitter.com/julisanzmamolar" target="_blank"><b>Julián Sanz</b></a>, from <a href="http://sangregorio5aguilardecampoo.blogspot.com.es/" target="_blank"><b>Colegio San Gregorio</b></a>, in Palencia - Spain, responds willing to integrate Billy's assignments into his <b><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/sangregorioseccionbilinguee/english-y6-projects/storyteller" target="_blank">We Are StoryTellers</a></b> <b><a href="http://sharingideaswritingstories.blogspot.com.es/" target="_blank">eTwinning Project</a></b> for sixth graders, together with Carmen Pérez, a colleague of Julián's.<br /><br />I quickly e-gather them so we collaboratively plan, schedule, organise, exchange ideas together with proposals, and, as Billy often says: <i style="color: blue;">'We are on it like white on rice' </i>very very soon.<br /><br />Billy starts with a sweet video introduction for the kids to get to know him better and have a glimpse of the upcoming episodes from <b><a href="http://bookme-library.blogspot.com.es/2014/05/collaborative-project-with-colegio-san.html" target="_blank">Book ME-Library</a></b>.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ER3n8cYfvc0?feature=player_embedded" width="560"></iframe> <br /><br />Julián, from his end, starts presenting the mini-project to the educational community:<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" height="284" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1rIBP22VeGLNV8pm0wFG7ExoeYhVRwFnNcCy_Ia4iV64/embed?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="480"></iframe> <br /><br />And ... Off we go! The kids from Y6 San Gregorio are looking forward to learning how to become digital storytellers, and there is Billy, in Madrid, to show them the essentials of any story: <b><a href="http://bookme-library.blogspot.com.es/2014/05/parts-of-introduction.html" target="_blank">introduction</a></b>, <b><a href="http://bookme-library.blogspot.com.es/2014/05/parts-of-nub-to-story.html" target="_blank">nub</a></b>, <b><a href="http://bookme-library.blogspot.com.es/2014/05/an-ending-to-story.html" target="_blank">ending</a></b>.<br /><br /><iframe class="vine-embed" frameborder="0" height="500" src="https://vine.co/v/M66HggOmMpV/embed/simple" width="500"></iframe><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//platform.vine.co/static/scripts/embed.js"></script> <br /><br /><iframe frameborder="0" height="245" scrolling="no" src="https://tellagami.com/gami/MPXTBV/embed/" width="435"></iframe> <br /><br /><iframe height="300" src="https://editor.moovly.com/embed/590790d6-7e66-cebe?width=500&height=300" width="500"></iframe>.<br /><br />Meanwhile, in Palencia, Julián, Carmen and their teams of sixths graders, with the help of Billy's tips, are writing scripts and storyboarding trips, tsunamis, monsters, fantastic creatures and loads of other digital storytelling adventures that they share and edit in Google Drive until ready for the final design.<br /><br />And, there is a new decision to be taken, which tool to use for the digital creation. The winning tool is ... collaborative <a href="https://storybird.com/" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Storybird</a>, so Billy comes into action again and with his superpowers, efficiently screencasts a <b><a href="http://bookme-library.blogspot.com.es/2014/05/how-to-tutorial-about-storybird.html" target="_blank">how-to tutorial</a></b> about the artful tool.<br /><br /><iframe frameborder="0" height="332" scrolling="no" src="//screencast-o-matic.com/embed?sc=c2hIYRn4A2&w=502&v=3" width="502"></iframe><br /><br />On top of that, Billy heartedly creates a sample story with Storybird: <b><a href="http://bookme-library.blogspot.com.es/2014/05/who-is-bigger-than-me.html" target="_blank">Who is bigger than me?</a></b>, especially dedicated to the Y6 kids from Julián's classrooms, which hides an augmented personalised gift; to open the gift you need the <b><a href="http://www.aurasma.com/" target="_blank">Aurasma app</a></b> in your mobile device, follow the <b><a href="http://www.aurasma.com/shared" target="_blank">Book ME-Library channel</a></b> and scan the book cover with the app.<br /><br />You wouldn't expect me to spoil it for you, would you?<br /><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="272" mozallowfullscreen="" src="//storybird.com/books/who-is-bigger-than-me/embed/" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="436"></iframe><br /><br />Now, the sixth graders have all the ingredients to cook and serve wonderful digital stories, feel they are storytellers and have the spirit of e-connected students at the same time.

They can look for the information when is needed in the Internet (for example, in the case of searching what are the most frequent places where a tornado occurs).<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPV65v9PwDHnX4htuuplOWTcWpaQe0r48DhLngy3nQr2nnCb7DKRG0F0Tzdq9KWBM0BxYXoH6IQv-_EdMZYlsCXuzt3PUqgcmwc4hCJoXZRviALAy6Iy3vT6zLQ5glhG4cSNp-Qg9DZ_YT/s1600/VoicethreadLogo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="54" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPV65v9PwDHnX4htuuplOWTcWpaQe0r48DhLngy3nQr2nnCb7DKRG0F0Tzdq9KWBM0BxYXoH6IQv-_EdMZYlsCXuzt3PUqgcmwc4hCJoXZRviALAy6Iy3vT6zLQ5glhG4cSNp-Qg9DZ_YT/s1600/VoicethreadLogo.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />The  instructions are given through voice comments. Voicethread is a tool you can store as a iPhone or Android app. Also, it allows you combinationing visual and recorded media which is perfect for creating multimedia presentations in a relatively short time frame using simple tools. It also prompts students to think carefully about what they are going to say before recording themselves These are the main characterisitics of the VoiceThread. It is only an example how you as teacher can use this tool. The objective is that the children will make a VoiceThread themselves with the guidance of the teacher. It is easy to use, and the pupils find it motivating because they have to record their voices.<br /><div><br /></div><br />RUBRIC<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFJS_Fk6wapPbaGgWxjTFQsFLSosIyFRzvk2T2XQAzuNvF100eDVpiDI3iWsAJiotPVv6YtzZqvMXHw56Yj5JLJZqKRsbRnpRqcc-wf2wtHDrFxbRe_f7xHHqsH75OV29LUjDcsIkHI9fw/s1600/ft.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFJS_Fk6wapPbaGgWxjTFQsFLSosIyFRzvk2T2XQAzuNvF100eDVpiDI3iWsAJiotPVv6YtzZqvMXHw56Yj5JLJZqKRsbRnpRqcc-wf2wtHDrFxbRe_f7xHHqsH75OV29LUjDcsIkHI9fw/s1600/ft.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><b><br /></b><span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>3.
