9 FEBRUARY - SAFE INTERNET INTERNATIONAL DAY
As you know,
internet and ICTs are resources that we try to use in the classroom everyday
because they bring us many benefits to the teaching-learning process. However,
they also entail a series of dangers and problems that our students must know
and be aware of.
Therefore, I
decided to show them a video related to this issue: A short video called I saw your willy. The video shows how a photo can go viral in just a few hours and how hard it is to control it once it has been shared.
Here's the video:
Some questions to make students think:
Why did they share that picture? Was it necessary?
What were the consequences?
How that affected the boy?
After the video, they completed this worksheet to really become aware of what can happen if a photo goes viral:
Finally, I asked them to write in groups an alternative ending for the video answering the following question:
After the photo had been shared, what could he have done to make sure the bullying didn’t get out of hand?
And
remember... sometimes, less is more!

3 DECEMBER: INTERNATIONAL
DAY OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES THE PRESENT
As you know,
today the International Day of People with Disabilities is
celebrated. In the English classroom we have decided to watch this beautiful
short film: The Present.
It is a very
nice video that invites to reflection and highlights the importance of not
judging each others for not being perfect, or simply being different.
Our students
loved it and I prepared some question for them in order to make them think and
debate. It was a very interesting activity for a very special day.
Here you have
the short film:
Hope you like it!
