This is my infographic. It's my first attempt with Canva. It hasn't been easy, because my computer often stopped working. I chose a hot-air balloon. It is flying upwards, destination CLIL. Beside it I wrote the five important landmarks of TECHNO-CLIL course, the five weeks topics and I added some images of my works. Of course I'm in the balloon.

For the title I chose a very important motto for me: I want always improve my knowledge, my competence, my abilities and I want to do always my best. I think that with this course I pursued my purposes. Thanks a lot for this opportunity.

Week 2 Test Part 2
I have been teaching CLIL for three years and I usually use technologies to show video, for presentation or to find materials. The weakness for me is the shortage of means of my school, even if recently it is investing in buying laptops, printer, ….
I think that is very important to use technology for CLIL lessons. For example if you want to introduce a topic, you can watch a video or you can listen something. In my opinion using technologies is more involving than the traditional lesson. As students learn best by doing and experiments, technology can help them. Webtools can motivate students to learn, they can help them in different ways: for presentation, for maps, to work on vocabulary, to understand better, to play…. They are useful to improve knowledge, to increase abilities, to improve English. Students learn to use technologies by using them. Last week while my pupils were working on their presentation about human body, I suggested them Rewordify and Snappy Words… in few minutes most of my pupils were using them. I was really satisfied. Technology and webtools promote collaboration too, for example when students create presentation by using Animoto or Padlet.
Technology is very important for teachers too. Web is where teachers can share, look for materials and find them. The use of technology allows teachers to re-think what they are doing. I believe that it’s really essential that the technologies that we have available are used effectively.

I read a pair of chapters of the suggested book Innovation in learning technologies for English language teaching, it’s very interesting.

During this second week I tried some new webtools too. The link "Webtools and language skills: some suggestionsURL" is great and also the tips suggested by the other colleagues. Thanks a lot!

CLIL strengths and weaknesses:

I have been dealt with CLIL for three years. I think that this new way of teaching is nowadays a very important opportunity for pupils/students. CLIL is an innovated way to improve knowledge and to learn a foreign language. Students are engaged and motivated. In my classes quite every child tries to speak, to read, to write. This new methodology strengthens students’ self-esteem and fosters the acquisition of competences.
I think the shortage of materials is the greatest obstacle, last summer I prepared a sort of booklet with the geography and science topics.
I want to increase my use of technologies during CLIL lessons.
