With eleven-years-old students (last year of primary) we are going to learn the elements of Catalunya's relief. This unit is about nature and geography.
The methodology consists in working in groups of six, which are going to work the catalan provinces. Then, in pairs, they will work much more accurately the monuments, cities and geographical accidents of each zone.
All these activities will be done with the use of applications such as Power Point (they will have to create a digital map) but also the web called animaps (http://www.animaps.com), which is an extension of Google Maps that let us create maps with markers that move, images and text that pop on cue, and lines and shapes that change over time. When you send your Animap to friends it appears like a video - they can play, pause, slow and speed up the action!
On the other hand, all the students, alone at home, they will have to play some virtual games that will support the theoretical part of the unit. Finally, the final activity will consist in an online trivial. This game will work as the general assessment.
To conclude, the use of the ICT is relevant in this innovative and useful unit.
