The Most-Read Blog Posts of 2016 : semester #2






credits: princekido


Here my tribute to Princess Leia, Carrie Fisher, who died this week.I could see her again in Star Wars VII : The Force Awakens. 

A boy, a princess, an old man, and a pirate with Bigfoot as a friend. Thus began my life-long fascination with sci-fic with Star Wars.

"May the Force be with you, Princess Leia."

2016 was a killer year to actors, writers, music, arts. Let's begin 2017! We want to forget 2016. 

But first my looking back at 2016 I've come up with a roundup of what's been most-read on my blog The Digital Teacher G-Souto. 

Below you’ll see the top posts along the second semester 2016 containing several themes: edtech, languages, arts, science, history, environment, literature, e-safety, sports, dance, children's rights among other.

The selection is based on page views but also based on pedagogical relevance of the most-read posts.

I kept the order of the most viewed, but eliminated the posts that seemed less relevant. The main reason is that sometimes certain posts acquire too much visibility, not for their value but for the keywords that the search engines "like" indexing.

J'ai commencé avec mon hommage à Princesse Leia, Carrie Fisher que nous aimions tous.

L'année 2016 fut terrible. Nous avons perdu beaucoup de nos héros: musique, cinéma, arts. 

Commençons une nouvelle année. 2017 est là.

Mais avant je veux continuer le partager avec vous le Top des posts les plus lus du 2eme semestre 2016. Vous êtes de plus en plus nombreux à me suivre au quotidien. Je me rends compte que les étudiants aussi me visitent.

Je vous remercie, chers enseignants, chers lecteurs, de votre intérêt et m’efforce d’être toujours au plus proche des événements concernant des idées pédagogiques pour vous présenter les dernières ressources éducatives , numériques et pas numériqueses. Le numérique prend de plus en plus la place. Les technologies donnent aux jeunes et à leurs professeurs des possibilités que les générations précédentes ne pouvaient pas avoir au même âge.

Des ressources aux grandes thématiques historiques, linguistiques, culturelles et sociales, des ressources en ligne, et de nombreuses observations personnelles sur la pédagogie et la pratique éducative de façon à faciliter à tous des chances de réussite.

My crush of the #2nd semester? Education & disability : Francesca Jones, the power of a dream 

Francesca Jones, fifteen-year-old, got through the first round at Junior Wimbledon 2016 despite a rare condition that has left her without all her fingers and toes.

Francesca Jones was born with ectrodactyly ectodermal dysplasia syndrome – a rare condition that causes development problems with hands and feet.
Despite leaving her with an abnormally small right hand – her racket hand – and fewer fingers and toes than is usual, she has not allowed her condition to prevent her reaching her first junior grand slam tournament.
She is a good exemple to youth who so many times do'nt believe in their dreams. 

Hoping to have inspired you in your lessons all over the year.

May 2017 be a successful year for all those educators who love teach. Preparing learners for the future should therefore be a prime function of all us.

Looking back at 2016 I've come up with a roundup of what's been most-read on my blog The Digital Teacher G-Souto. 

Below you’ll see the top posts along the first semester 2016 containing several themes: edtech, languages, 
arts, science, history, environment, literature, e-safety, sports, dance, children's rights among other.

The selection is based on page views but also based on pedagogical relevance of the most-read posts.

I kept the order of the most viewed, but eliminated the posts that seemed less relevant. The main reason is that sometimes certain posts acquire too much visibility, not for their value but for the keywords that the search engines "like" indexing.

May rundown of the most read posts






Put Your Head into Gallery | Gagosian Gallery


Are you mad about Art ? I am! I write often about Art, as you know if you are a regular reader. Of course you are. My last post was about the artist Lotte Reiniger.
You have a dream of one day seeing a piece of your own displayed and admired in a famous art gallery? Well, I'm not enough mad about it. Ok! But your students will love! Remember my post Schools: Take a Selfie with a Painting.(2014). A huge success among students.
Now a new project Tezi Gabunia, interactive installation allows you/ them to experiment this thrill. 




Put Your Head into Gallery | Tate Modern
Through four different models of world famous galleries, his installation Put Your Head into Gallery, literally allows one to become a feature of the exhibit.
The project includes four miniature recreations of Saatchi Gallery (Tezi Gabunia), The Louvre (Rubens), Tate Modern (Hirst), and Gagosian Gallery (Liechtenstein).

Transportable feature of the models makes these galleries accessible for everyone. Moreover, anyone can look into gallery, take a photo and become an exhibition.
"The installation aims make the art scene accessible to everyone by bringing the prominent buildings to the audiences, as opposed to the other way around.
Nothing better that let your students discover the wonders of new technology by sharing this project.

Oh! By the way tomorrow we will celebrate the 2016 edition of the United Nations World Oceans Day, held each year on 8 June. People all over the globe are celebrating in multiple events to mobilize society and protect the ocean, its biodiversity and its resources. Ask your students to join this event.


Education:
If you are lucky and you're teaching near this gallery, don't loose the opportunity to let your students enjoying this awesome experience.
Include the events into your curriculum at school and let your students participate with some nice activities.
I couldn't miss to share with teachers  two importantant events as introduction of the rundown of the most read posts in May.

Here are the most popular posts of the last month:










Hope you enjoyed the different themes and resources published on May on my blog It was a fantastic month full of good pedagogical themes - museums, ICT, arts, environment, science, exhibitions, citizenship - different pedagogical resources to motivate some of your lessons.

I'm back to posting the normal roundup every week.
