c) There are only three colors and each subject area should be differentiating
correctly.
3. Level and age
It is thought to use for middle-school and high-school teachers and college professors,
and their students.
4. Use of the web in your teaching practice
USING THE WIKI

We would use the digital content, videos, to practice different examples according to
the topic which we are working with my students. It would be useful to make a playlist
in groups to upload and share with NROC community.
6
5. Chosen website
The website chosen, has a wide diversity of games for all subjects. It attracts the
attention due to its colors and structure. Moreover, it is really easy to use, because you
can download the games and the app to play in your mobile phone. It is a useful
website to help parents to develop their children’s knowledge. Music is included in all
of the games and each game does not take you too much time.
http://pbskids.org/games/all-topics
“Math words” - http://www.mathwords.com/index_algebra.htm
1. Good points
a) The website is well-organized. Content is searched easily in alphabetical order.
b) Search is very easy, in the left side you can click on a letter and automatically it
goes to the letter section. There is also a Google searcher above it so you can
start your search by using it.
c) A second index is divided into different topics what helps students either
teachers for a better search.
d) Colors are used in order to differentiate sections; there are two indexes in blue
and all terms are in white. This can help you in locating different words.

2. Bad points:
1. Definitions given may be too short and graphics cannot be understood.
2. Lacks of range of colors, only three colors are used.
3. Content words are is in a high level within the subject.
3) Level and age
This index could be used with students in last course of Secondary School, age 16.
4) Use of the web in your teaching practice
We would not use this index for primary students. We consider that content in general
terms the level is very high for students from 6 to 12 years old.
5) Chosen website
After doing a further research, we have chosen this website because it contains Math´s
Dictionary and is very interactive. It is colorful, that can be a very good point in
engaging students to keep learning and motivate them for the subject matter. It has
proper information with explanations, activities, pictures and it is a very good practice
though for pupils of this stage. http://www.amathsdictionaryforkids.com/

2. Bad points:
a) It is tedious and complicated. Difficult to manage for young children.
b) Content are not for primary education, maybe are designed for secondary or
higher education (algebra, functions, polynomials…)
c) It isn’t a very colorful web page… There is lack of bright colors that makes
difficult to motivate and engage the students.
3. Level and age
It is focused on offers instructional content and tools for math teachers and it is also
suitable for secondary school students after 12-13 years old.
4. Use of the web in your teaching practice
Personally, we will not use this web page in our classes given that we consider it has a
level that is too high for primary students. Maybe there are some videos or tutorials
that could be useful for the last primary course but I insist that the contents are quite
high.

EVALUATION MINDMAP TOOLS
9
TEXT 2 MIND MAP
 How the Text 2 Mind Map works
Basically, this tool can turn your typed outlines into mind maps. At first there a some
tips given to get you started such as; write text in the text area , indent text (using the
TAB key) to start a new branch of nodes and Click the "Draw Mind Map"-button and
watch the mind map evolve. At the left side you have a table with different tools.
There are four main options noticeable; create, save, download and zoom.
 How easy it is to use it
Firstly, if you want to start with creating a mind map, just type out an outline in the
text box. After doing so, you click "draw mind map" to have your mind map created at
the right side. If you want to add more elements into your mind map, go to the text
box and indent text to start a new branch, after doing so click "draw mind map" again
and it will come up.
 Main advantages;
o You can change the position by sliding the mind map.
o The style of writing can be changed according to the font, color or sized wished.
o Headings appear in different colors so you can distinguish them easily.
o The width of the branches can be chosen from the thinnest to the thickest. You
can also pick another color for these lines depending on your likes.
o You can download your mind map and save it as a PDF or PNG file.
o Every mind map created can also be shared via email, Facebook, or Twitter.
 Main disadvantages (if any);
o You probably get lost in how to create new branches because if you do not
indent text (using the TAB key) all the branches are joined to the first element.
STORMBOARD
( https://www.stormboard.com/storms/setup)
 How Stormboard works?
It is a slick new service designed for hosting collaborative online brainstorming
activities. Stormboard allows you to create an unlimited amount of "idea boards" or
Stormboards with up to five collaborators on each one. Each of your Stormboards can

include sticky notes, images, videos, drawings, and word documents. Moving items
around on your Stormboard is a simple drag and drop process like the one you may
have used on services like Padlet. Each item that you add to your Stormboard includes
a commenting option that your collaborators can use to give you feedback on your
ideas.
10
 How easy it is to use it;
o If you have never used this mind map tool, it is really complicated to
understand how it works, because there are lots of templates to choose
depending on your purpose.
o Once, you have discovered how it works, it is really easy to use its tools.
 Main advantages of the tool;
o You can create new templates, but you don’t need it because you will find what
you are looking for.
o It is a logical tool, which has thought to make easier the teachers’ work and
also it has templates to use in the business’s context.
o It gives you 8 reasons to use this mind map tool
o Your mind map can be downloaded as a PDF or PNG file.
o You can add pictures, video, sticky, stack and a file.
 Main disadvantages (if any);
o It is quite tedious at the beginning because you have a lot of templates and a
lot of different types so you don’t know very well what to choose.
o You can’t write in the templates, you can only comment in a sticky.
o There are too many templates and tools to use, so you can be lost.
 Group choice;
We have chosen the first one (Text 2 mind map) because we think it is less
complicated to use and it is very useful and funny for children.

 Transcription from the video;
http://dotsub.com/view/1c84e314-a099-42f5-af7f-c8fe34962d77
(From min06:30 to min08:40)
We are going to say to spell human, -hu-man,
Now if your are native English speaker and you are wondering about just follow along I think
you are going to find something kind of open up for you
So let´s go ahead, say to spell –hu-man.
How many syllabus? Two; the first syllable is –hu, -h , -u , the second syllable is –man, -m,-a, -n
Go ahead and write it!
And as you said as sound it out, and then let´s help me to write it.
First syllable is –hu, -h, -u
Second syllable is –man, -m, -a, -n
And what did they –u say here? It´s that is long sound so open a line, all right?
Well say to spell again; -hu, -man
But what do we usually say? Human
Now in English, this is a place where we can begin to use morphology
Because the accent its syllable is –hu and this is actually –schwa sound which we´ll discuss
later about
Just for your help right now schwa sound an unaccented vowel sound
So what you´ll notice here though, is that man and human are related in meaning and we can
draw for our students how they are related in meaning and that´s why the spelling is preserved
to that way
You might also be interesting to now that in a word like humanity
USING DOTSUB

12
I can write It for you here, that your clearly
Here this –a sound in humanity
So we can find the derivative humanity and this vowel sound here is clearly articulated as an -a
So this is part of the morphophonemic in nature English
Where in number eight, would be women.
I know that women from work, women
We are going to say to spell
Yes you guessed it; -wo, -men
That´s some kind of funny I think
So let´s say to spell –wo,-men and two syllabus

HOT POTATOES ACTIVITIES
To work on the concepts of the mind map we are going to develop the following activities:
 MULTIPLE CHOICE:
We develop the first branch “What is it?”
Three definitions are given and only one is true. They have to highlight the key words
which are the ones that we will take into account to develop the mind map.
file:///C:/Users/Usuario/Desktop/activity1.htm
 MATCHING
We work on the branch entitled “Benefits of doing exercise”
file:///F:/New%20Technologies/hotpotatoes/images%20hot%20potatoes%20j/MATCHING
%20GAME.htm
 FILLING THE GAPS
We develop the branch named “Aerobic”
We create a text where the students need to fill the gaps with the appropriate words;
these are the ones which will appear in the mind map.
Filling the gaps´ text
AEROBIC is an activity which needs oxygen. When doing aerobic exercise
you realize that you breath faster. There are a lot of examples of doing
aerobic activity such as basketball, football, swimming, running, tennis or
walking. Moreover, this activity is very funny not only for kids but also for
adults.
file:///C:/Users/User/Desktop/filling%20the%20gaps.htm
 CROSSWORDS
USING THE WHITEBOARD

We work on the branch named “Elements”
With a crossword activity we will work on the words (elements) that students should learn
from the mind map.
file:///C:/Users/Administrador/Desktop/Crossword.htm
As a follow up we will do this completed mind map
