ICT Audio edited Activity 4

Community song-Citizen song



(Firstly, I have edited it using Audacity. Then I have shared it with Spreaker)

COMMUNITY SONG

I am a citizen of my society
And I participate in my community
I do my part, I keep it clean
I make this world a better place for you and me

I love my neighbor, I treat them good
I show respect and dignity like I should
I love my family, I follow all the rules
I take responsibility for what I need to do

There’s so much going on around me
Sometimes I think that it is all about me
Then I look around and see what’s in front of me
It’s you, and me, we help others in need

I do all I can to make this world a better place
Show respect to my neighbor and to the whole human race
Citizenship is who I am, everything that I do
I take care of the environment, how about you?

ICT Web 2.0 application Voki Activity 3

CLICK here to see my Voki

For this Voki I have designed an original and attractive character for children: It is Mr.McCookie. All my activities are oriented to be developed with young children; (8 years old students) so this cartoon character is going to motivate them to start working and I have thought of have it present though the activities in order to solve students' doubts and to guide them.For the presentation I have only prepare the presentation of Mr.McCookie, not any example of problem solving.

ICT Video edited Activity 1

Link to the video (example of the Final Task)
Kid President - How To Change The World (a work in progress) from irene gil on Vimeo.

CHANGING THE WORLD

This uploaded video is an example of a project to be done by students. It has been created by children from EEUU and the idea is to do something similar, following the same steps but creating/reaching our own conclusion:

The video talks about the current situation of the world, as everybody knows, it is not very “nice” so it suggests some options:

1)    Complain about it

2)    Have a lot of money

3)    Be loud and yell a lot

4)    Make loud of everything

5)    Let smarter people do it

6)    Ignore everything

7)    Be famous and cool

8)    Be powerful

a.    Mayor

b.    Senator

c.    President

After enumerating these options, students reflect on it:

·         They are the easiest ones

·         They are not solutions

·         Nonsense

Students will realise: “WORLD CHANGE DEPENDS ON YOU”

Nonetheless, we must keep realistic; develop critical and real thinking by observing in an objective way. Students are going to become able to make judgements and be aware about the fact that: “There are a lot of arguments to be pessimistic and think that it is impossible to change the world: kids are hungry, people are homeless, unhappy families...”

BUT:

·         “Things don’t have to be the way they are”

·         “World is changed by ordinary people”

After following these steps and performing them in the video, as the main character does, students are going to look for their own conclusions. 

Students will finish the video showing their SOLUTION TO CHANGE THE WORLD.

Activity: During this activity children will work both on citizenship contents and new technologies resources.
