This is a great initiative to promote reading and show the library spaces and their importance.
In Spain, we have celebrated ‘Library Day’ on the 24th of October every year since 1997 to commemorate the destruction of the Sarajevo National Library, set on fire in 1992 during the Balkans War. It’s an initiative from the Asociación Española de Amigos del Libro Infantil y Juvenil, (Spanish Association of Friends of the Children and Young Adults Book) in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture.“
Colours have meanings, we all know this. Depending on it they cause different reactions, and this is something brands make use of as they integrate colours on their strategies: they transmit an image, a personality and a message. In social networks especially, colours are an efficient tool to reach users, arouse feelings and make them go emotional. What are social media brands trying to transmit with their colours, logo and image? How does it affect branding? Today we reveal the truth about colours and their meaning on social media.
Red: it represents attention, energy, vitality and speed. Now you understand why Pinterest has a red logo, are we not right?
Blue: it transmits safety, reliability, confidence and transparency. This is why most social networks are bluish! Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Tuenti…
Orange: modern, inocent, innovative and especially HAPPY AND FUNNY. Social networks are for joy ?.
Green: symbolizes the natural, hope, coolness and relaxation. Is there anything more natural than Whatsapp?
Yellow: it represents optimism and joy. People also say that it stimulates creativity and compassion. Yellow features the logos of Google+ and Instagram, but it is not very characteristic of any social network given its bright tonality.
Brown: for durability and stability. It is associated especially with Instagram. Moments you capture forever!
Pink: romantic, tender, nice and soft. Flickr has it on its image, although it is not predominant. We all have a romantic picture. Or not?
Purple: it represents luxury, mystery, reality and sensuality. What can be more mysterious than the random check ins on Foursquare?
White: purity, cleanness, peace and innocence. It is hard to see, so it is always used in combination with other colours. Almost all networks use it… Go have a look!
Black: elegant, sophisticated, simple and sober. Just like with white, it does not work very well on its own: it is too dark and serious. MySpace tried it, but we can see that it did not work very well.
Now you know, add colour to life ?. Do it wisely, but do it the way you like!
En la web del INTEF, se explica en qué consiste el aula del futuro:
El Aula del Futuro es un proyecto coordinado por el Instituto Nacional de Tecnologías Educativas y de Formación del Profesorado (INTEF) en colaboración con las comunidades autónomas. Este proyecto propone explotar las posibilidades pedagógicas de flexibilizar los espacios de aprendizaje en combinación con las tecnologías, para mejorar los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje a través de las metodologías activas.
Esta apuesta, que se inició en 2015, tiene su origen en el proyecto Future Classroom Lab, desarrollado por el consorcio de Ministerios de Educación europeos, European Schoolnet (EUN) desde 2012.
La red de aulas del futuro ofrece un espacio para apoyar el desarrollo competencial de los docentes además de servir como reflexión sobre las prácticas de enseñanza y la mejora de las mismas. La creación de estas aulas diseñadas para la formación del profesorado se inició en 2021 con la inauguración del Aula del futuro del INTEF.
Una de las partes del aula del futuro es un lugar para hacer proyectos y actividades con un croma. El croma ofrece múltiples oportunidades para la clase de inglés. En esta foto, un alumno presenta la predicción del tiempo en inglés usando el croma.
