Learning through images

Objectives:

We will use images to make students aware of the importance of practising sports and the fact

that sports are different from one another.

We project the activity for children aged nine to eleven (9-11) for an elementary level.

Topic: Different kinds of unconventional sports

Tool: www.picadilo.com

Task: Make students produce different collages of one unpopular sport, then share their

productions with classmates and explain why they consider that sport not common but

entertaining.

Evaluation: we found this site attractive and catching for the above mentioned age. Besides, it

is easy to use and to combine varied pictures. Users can share their productions through the

page itself or download the pictures from it.

Teachers: Natasha Barrau, Gianna Di Dino, Alexandra Fuentes, Nicolás Miró & Gisela Nacini.
