School television as an educational tool

-

 Hello everyone, welcome back to our blog!! 👋👋 

After choosing school television as a resource for our final product, we wanted to do some research to discover technical information about its use.

In recent years, the idea of creating a school television has gained attention as a way to combine digital creativity with educational goals. Academic research shows that educational television can be a powerful tool to support learning.

Studies highlight that television used in educational contexts provides structured opportunities for students to express themselves and engage with real-world issues. For example, research from EdTech Hub emphasizes that educational television can foster motivation and participation when students are actively involved in producing content, rather than only consuming it.

Also, research indicates that educational television can positively influence academic achievement, especially among disadvantaged students, when it is designed with clear pedagogical goals. This aligns with the idea of using school television not only as a creative project but also as a structured learning situation that supports emotional education, empathy, and respect for diversity.

In conclusion, the academic literature supports the integration of school television as a meaningful educational practice. It combines digital innovation, emotional learning, and communication skills, offering students a space to represent challenges, share solutions, and build empathy through collective reflection.

Hello everyone! 💗 We are back with a second lesson — and this time we’re continuing our journey into emotions with the focus on the behaviours. To start this lesson we will use the picture book ,,The Colour Monster” by Anna Llenas. This book will guide children to recognise, name, and talk about feelings and also start recognise what actions might influence the feelings.  As the story is read by the teacher, children pause to think about what different feelings look like, how they might feel in their own bodies, and what they do when emotions get big or confusing. After that children will be given a writing worksheet to complete in pairs. In this way they will practice their writing skills.  The lesson will end with a reflection about digital safety. To get more familiar with our lesson we prepared a lesson plan.  Topic: Emotions & Behaviours Title: How do I handle my feelings? Objectives and goals: Define empathy → Discuss characters’ feelings in The Colour Monster...

Hello everyone! 👋 Today we want to share our next lesson, which focuses on empathy, emotions, and positive behaviour through the visualisation of the short film Joy and Heron . This activity helps children recognise feelings in others and understand different perspectives. We’ll start with a short discussion about empathy. Students answer questions like What does empathy mean? and How does it feel to show or receive empathy? They will look up the definition online to build interest and digital literacy. Next, they will watch The Joy Story: Joy and Heron . As they watch, children pay close attention to the characters’ expressions and actions. Afterwards, they answer a few questions to check their understanding and discuss how the dog showed empathy, why kindness matters, and some other questions. Then, students will do a creative task of writing their own ending to the story. This activity encourages imagination, and writing practice in English. To finish the lesson, the class re...

Hello everyone and welcome back to our blog!!👋💘. Today we're going to explain lesson one of our learning situation. In our first lesson we will explore emotions through different activities that combine language learning and technology. We will begin by watching a short video from Inside Out to introduce the topic and help us think about how emotions are shown in everyday life. Then, we will use an emotional board to recognize and classify feelings, followed by an interactive practice with games where we will use the verb to be to describe emotions in English. Finally, students will take part in an Internet search activity to discover more examples of emotions and how they are expressed, making the lesson creative, engaging, and connected to real digital resources. Topic: Emotions & Feelings Title: How do you feel? Objectives and goals Enumerate emotions → Introduce and practice emotion vocabulary. Classify emotions → Sort basic vs. more nuanced emotions during vocabulary w...
