Colors and shapes picture dictionary with Calaméo

Hello guys!

I want to talk about an importart aspect when bloging, the legality. Usually, we take pictures, videos, test or music from intertet or we use other people's materials whitout worrying about copyright laws. But, we have to be careful, because we don't have the right to use everything on internet. 

To copy or use legaly the images, they have to have creative commons licency. This give us the chance to use others materials and people can use ours too and share with everyone. So, we have to take care of the creative commons, for example, sometimes we have to include the attribution together with the image, or we can't make changes in the materials...

For practising to use legal images we have done picture dictionary's for children with the application Calaméo. I choose colors and shapes for topic, because I thought that would be easy to found legall images. When I finished I downloaded as pdf and uploaded to Calaméo to put with the dictionary form. 

Here you have it!

My business website

Hello guys!

We have been working on a website and I'm going to tell you my experience, how we created and how we developed it.

The aim of the work was to create our own business website for advertising the business. We can choose any kind of topics like; sports, music, restaurants, transport, travelling, fashion, photography... I decide to make a restaurant website, because I thought that would be interesting and easy to advertise.

We had to advertise it on the internet and for creating it, we used Google Sites because it is very simple.

The first think that I did was to find other restaurant websites and search in others pages how the make it to take ideas. I spend a lot of time looking for the best one and I recomend you to start more or less with the idea you have in mind and then search a bit, because otherwise you couldn't find the perfect website and you are going to lose time and hope.
Once I choose it, I start my own restaurant website completing it with the food photographs of the real restaurant page.


My restaurant is based in seafood, so I made a menú with tree pages; Plates,
drinks and deserts, and
oysters. Apart of the menú in my navigation bar I have the other usual pages like; Home, Location, Reservation, Photo Gallery, F.A.Q (frequently asked questions) section, About us and Contact.

The major time that I spend in my page after searching for ideas, was copying the pictures and putting their price. That was the worses part, because I have to take an screenshot of the image then download to my drive and finally upload to the website.
Making the other pages was more easy, for the location we used Google Maps and the rest I completed with a Little bit of imagination.
At last I change the background image and I put another to attract my clients.

In general it wasn't so much work, but it takes time.

What to read or to wach in Christmas

Hi everyone!

Christmas are coming. That means, more free time to enjoy with the family and friends.
We worked hard in school, and I think that we deserve the holidays for relaxing. So, reading books or waching films can help us to calm.
I like a lot books and films and I will recomend you some of them to enjoy in Christmas.

One interesting film can be The Odd Life of Timothy Green. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMSkbH0LuTc
The film address about, the life of a couple that wanted to create a family, but they discovered that they couldn't have a child. This movie is full of fantasy and illusion, related with nature.
Personally I like those fantasy films and I think that it is a great option.



The other film that I recomend you is called the Maze Runner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64-iSYVmMVY
The story is about a boy who appear suddenly in a maze with other boys and tells what they have to suffer to survive and to cross the maze.
In this adventure film, we can see science-fiction, and I think that makes, the teenagers become attracted by the movie, and connected with the elaborate story the film looks amazing.

 

The next thing that you shoul reed is one Spanish book title, Palm tres in the snow.
This novel is about two brothers that leaves the snow and the cold of the mountain to travell to one far and exotic isle. Their father will wait them there, in a territory where they make the best cocoa of the world. Once there, they will learn what means the words love, friend and hate. But one of the brother fall in love with one native and one secret born, that later the doughter and the niece of those pair of brothers will investigate.
I really love these book, due to the excellent relate that tells a extraordinary story of one prohibited love and african memories.
I like the place that the story is located. The protagonist are very interesting, and I'm sure you like the story.

Those are my recomendations, enjoy Christmas!

Violance against women

Hello everybody!

You probably know what day is November 25.
In my opinion, that international day for the elimination of violence against women, it is very interesting.
We work on that topic and we search what did women suffer and what they are suffering now.
To say NO to that injustice I have done a lucidpress leaflet, explaining with real dates different problems, different violance forms... Hope you like it!

Wangari Maathai Peace Nobel Prize

Hi guys!

In this article, I will write about one Peace Nobel Prize.
I choose the Peace award, because, in my opinion, it is the most beautiful topic of the Nobel prizes.
I will talk about Wangari Muta Maathai, a woman that was very interesting for me, because she colaborated to develop the world, and she inspired a lot of people.

Wangari Muta Maathai, was the first woman from Africa to be honoured with the Nobel Peace Prize, in 2004, for her contribution to sustainable development, democracy and peace.

She represents an example and a source of inspiration for everyone in Africa fighting for sustainable development, democracy and peace.

Maathai want to promote ecologically viable social, economic and cultural development in Kenya and in Africa. (She founded the Green Belt Movement where, for nearly thirty years, she has mobilized poor women to plant 30 million trees.) She was elected member of Parliament and she served as assistant minister for Environment and Natural Resources in the government of President Mwai Kibaki between, January 2003 and November 2005.
In addition, she was an Honorary Councillor of the World Future Council.
She thinks globally and acts locally, and she has especially encouraged women to better their situation.  In 2011, Maathai died of complications from ovarian cancer.

We believe that Maathai was a strong voice speaking for the best forces in Africa to promote peace and good living conditions on that continent.

Mind map

Here you have my mind map about the Solar System. I chose that topic, because I think, that it is very interesting, and I like it.

In addition, it is very easy to use and in my opinion, it is fantastic for presentations and for studying. So, hope you like it.

Reflections on social websites

Nowadays, it is a fact that most teenagers (but not only teenagers) have an account in social websites like Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. Logging in these webs has become a routine in the lives of most of them. But, do they use it correctly? Do they really know what they are doing?

In my opinion, most of the teenagers use these webs without searching a little bit in them, I mean, they don't know what consequences they can have.

However, I think, that if they take care when using the webs, they can enjoy with the advantages that they provide.

First of all, they have to know, that there are a lot of people connected in networks, and not all of them are "friendly" people, because people can do false accounts, and lie about the age and the aspect. There are people who take and publish internet pictures, and say that they are their photographs. Also, they can publish photos where you appear, without your permission. So, it is very important to do a private account, otherwise, everyone can comment and follow you.

But it is true, that you can meet friends, publish your favorite photos, comment on your friends pictures, as well as see interesting videos and photos. In addition, if people hound you, you can block them.

 Also, it is very important to distinguish between traditional friends, and social websites friends, because a friend on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook, can lie you about the aspect, the age... You really don't know who they are, so be careful, people can be very cruel.
In fact, lot of teenagers have suffered cyber bullying by their "friends", that is, a type of bullying that takes place using electronic technology, such as, phones, computers, tablets. There, they use tools to hound like, social media sites, text messages, chats, websites...

We have to be consistent that the teenagers aren't going to stop using social networks, but we can collaborate taking more appropriate and safer uses.

 In conclusion, you can enjoy with the social websites, but before you enter that word, search a little bit, create private accounts, take care of you security.

Refugees and immigrants

Nowadays everyone knows what refugees and immigrants are, but do we pay the necessary attention they deserve?

Immigrants usually emigrate due to economic factors, or they want to be closer to their family, but it is their decision to resettle in another country. Whereas refugees, are people forced to flee their home country, due to the war, natural disasters, religious or political persecutions... and do we help them?

European government doesn't accept refugees and immigrants because they have to invest money, for instance: they must find some flats for them, help with the food, clothes, even find one work... and they are afraid, because they don't think that they will be able to satisfy the needs of all the people.. Thus, they don't want a lot of refugees and immigrants, and only few of them get the chance to emigrate to other countries. No doubt, if they have some money there is no problem for the government.

Once they are here, do we treat them correctly?

In my opinion, we should put ourselves in their shoes, understand all they suffer, and then, try to help them, because everybody can do something to improve their lives, and from my point of view, we have to start changing our behavior.

So, you can help the refugees by volunteering at a local resettlement agency, becoming an English tutor, a tour guide, a mentor to a family, donating money, furniture and household items, teaching other people about refugees, and employing or encouraging local businesses to employ refugees.
