Unit 1 (Technical drawing): Flash Animation of Oxford

Hi! As everybody probably knows, we are using the flash animation of Oxford to complete our IT Activities in the computer room. As this animation is not working from the website we are using, here you have the same animation from a different website. See you.

Hi again! Make sure you understand the technical vocabulary of the unit before doing the exam (in two weeks). In this activity you have many possibilities of practising (click on View this study set, at the botton of the window or choose one of the study modes by clicking on the drop-down menu). See you in class.

Units 0 and 1: Vocabulary

Hi! If you feel like to practice the vocabulary we worked on during the assistant's session, here  (full-screen) you have an animation to revise those words. Don't forget to put your headphones on to listen to the English pronunciation of the words.

Unit 1 (Technical drawing): Assessment Elements

Hi! This post is intended to remind you the different items I will consider to evaluate your work and attainments. We have 6 different elements:
  • Notebook (5-10%):presentation, notes, class exercises and homework.
  • Workshop Activities (10-15%):practical activities in the Workshop or in Classroom (individual and in groups) through which we will build a technological object. 2/3 session each unit (section).
  • IT Activities (10-15%):theoretical activities in the Computer Room (in pairs, or individual). 2/3 session each unit (section).
  • Classroom Activities (20-25%):xercises in the Workbook to do in class (Classroom). 2/3 session each unit (section).
  • Exam (50%): individual paper test for evaluating subject content..
  • Extra (10%): IT and Classroom Activities done from home through our Virtual Classroom..
As you can see, you must benefit from the classroom/computer room/workshop sessions, I mean, you need work a lot while you are at school. And also, at home, in order to revise and reinforce the things you learn in class. Don't hesitate to ask me if you have any doubts. See you.

Unit 1 (Technical drawing): Classroom and ITRoom Activities

Hi everybody! I expect, by the end of this week, I will have the Activities WorkBook for the classroom and, if so, we will start working on this book next week. Until then, here you have the same activities but in web format to complete at home. Soon you will have the opportunity to do them at "Aulas Virtuales" of our school and get extra points.
ClassRoom Activities

Besides those activities, here you have the link to the IT Room Activities we have just started this week in the Computer Room (as I said in my other blog, if the Computer Room does not meet the requirements of space for the whole class, maybe I will have to call off these activities) and we will spend two more sessions working on them. These activities will also be available for you all  to complete in our "Aulas Virtuales". See you..
