2.4 Gestiona los Lectores

Gestiona los lectores

So, I met this groups of singer/songwriters and they all wanted to take out a book. I had to make them members first and screencapture the process. I thought maybe it was nice to have the students alphabetically interesting so I started with

A for Adele
B for Bruce Springsteen
C for Cher
D for David Bowie
E for Ed Sheeran
F for Freddy Mercury
G for George Michael
H for Hugh Laurie (apart from being House, he also sings and plays instruments)

I wish I had time to do 26, but this is quite enough for our purpose. I saw that there's room for a picture in AbiesWeb (also in Abies2, by the way), so I asked for their photographs and they all made selfies! It's a nice bunch, what?

The pictures aren't really important, I gues, but it makes the website so much more interesting, doesn't it? I thought that the process was really easy and straightforward. For the moment I'm quite happy with the way this program or database works. Here's what I did:

I created some groups that I called Bliek1, Bliek2 and Bliek3 and made 4 of my students members of Bliek1 and the other four went to Bliek3. Bliek2, therefore, remained empty for the moment. We had to show the 3 groups, but the "empty groups" don't appear, so in my Screencapture you can see groups 1 and 3. Later I promoted 3 of the 4 students in Bliek1 so that they appeared in Bliek2. Result:

1 Reader (Lector) in Bliek1 (Bruce, poor guy)

3 Readers in Bliek2 (Adèle, Ed Sheeran and Hugh Laurie, all three recently promoted)

And 4 Readers in Bliek3 who had been there right from the beginning (Cher, David Bowie, Freddy Mercury and George Michael).

Here's the ScreenCapture Video that I shot with VSSCap and then edited in Pinnacle Studio so I could add a bit of music and some comments (and fireworks to celebrate the Also press on the button for a full screen as in this Picture promotion of some of the Readers/Students/Singers.) I aslo added a bit of music (a fragment of Strange Boat by The Waterboys) so don't forget to turn up the Volume.

Infographic

1. Infographic tool I had never heard of this thing so, again, I'm delighted to learn about this kind of stuff and assume that my colleagues and students will be too. If I can get to put it to good use in our library at the EOI Ávila, that is! I chose the first of the options in the instructions, so for my example I'm using Piktochart. I went throught the video and I liked the look of it and then I saw a template with a little pine tree. For the obvious reason that Abies has a little pine tree as a logo, I chose that template, even if the topic of the Template is something quite different. But let's see if I can get this thing to work.... By the way. In earlier Posts I had inserted some tif pictures that didn't look too good because their background wasn't invisible. Now I'm using png and it looks much cooler, you know So here's a link to my first Experience with Piktochart. I'm sure there's room for improvement. Also the Info is not at all valid...

1.2 Evaluación de la biblioteca del centro

Today I filled in the form about the library in our school EOI Ávila. To most questions I could anser with a YES, so it seems that our library is quite well-equipped. I'll write more later. I'm not sure whether to add things here or to create New Posts...(?) I think I'm doing both So for Educalab I filled in this form on how to improve our library. We are in a pretty new building at the EOI Ávila so the library is also brandnew. I'll insert a little pic I took myself just to give you an idea. Admittedly a few things have changed recently. There are now a few PCs on the left for people to play audio CDs, or example, that go with the graded readers that we have. For most of the questions in the Questionnaire I was able to respond with a YES, so I guess that's not so bad. Still there's room for improvement, undoubtedly. Last year some of the teachers started a bookclub that students could become a member of and in which they had Reading and Discussion ses...

3.1 Visualización de la Biblioteca

For this exercise I have used Google Slides because of its similarity with Powerpoint. I have made several interesting Powerpoint presentation over the past 10 years and my with that program might serve me to do a decent job with Google slides. This is actually my first intent to present something with this platform. I tried to include some of the elements we have been seeing during the course Bibliotecas Escolares y el uso de AbiesWeb. I'm quite satisfied with the new material I'm learning about. Google Slides is one of the programmes I've been waiting for to explore, because I have many occasions at school for which we are interested in publishing some kind of presentation or Slide show. I hope this Presentation is to your liking and that it meets the requirements of exercise 3.1
