1) The students created a group contact in Gmail to easily share things with their class. They added all classmates to a group called "ICTs".
2) They created their class blog to use as their notebook for projects. They watched a tutorial and followed instructions to set up the blog.
3) Their first blog post welcomed readers and informed them that the blog had been created. They learned how to write posts and set the blog's basic options.

3. CREATING A GROUP OF
CONTACTS
Our first work was to create a group of contacts in
Gmail with all the partners of the class. For this, we firstly
kept the addresses of all the members. Then, we created a
new group of contacts and we added them in this group and
we gave it the name of ICTs. With this group, we have the
option to send and share things more easily to all the class
in only one click.
4. CREATING OUR OWN BLOG
As we know, in ICTs our notebook is the blog, and we keep all
the projects there. So the most important thing to start working
was to create a blog. Therefore, we watched a short tutorial that
our teacher had shared with us, to know how to start making it, so
we simply had to follow the instructions. So, we entered in the
blogger page and clicked in ''create a new blog'' and saved the
necessary information to have the blog.
5. WRITING A WELCOME MESSAGE
To inaugurate the blog we had to write a welcome
message to inform our readers that we had already
created a blog. So we learned how to write a post,
and then created one.
6. SETTING OTHER BASIC
OPTIONS
When we created the blog it could be seen by
anybody, but if we wanted a closer blog and to be
safer, we would have to go to setting and check all
the basic options, configuring the blog as we want.
7. GING THE APPEARANCE OF OUR
BLOG
We more or less studied how to use our blogs, so
the second step was to give a better aspect and
change it. For that, we clicked on template and here
on customize. Like this we changed the basic options
like the title, background, the layout...until we were
really pleased with what we saw and achieved a
likeable and personal blog.
8. WRITING THE FIRST POST: SOCIAL
WEBSITES, TUENTI/FACEBOOK...
Our first post was about a typical topic: social
websites. And here our target was to write an
enjoyable article with these points:
1. ADVANTAGES OF SOCIAL WEBS LIKE TUENTI / FACEBOOK
2. DISADVANTAGES OF SOCIAL WEBS LIKE TUENTI / FACEBOOK
3. DIFFERENT MEANINGS OF “A FRIEND”
4. PRIVACITY OF THIS WEBSITES.
5. SUGGESTIONS.
9. WRITING THE FIRST ARTICLE
In this article our aim was to write an article about one of these topics:
· Teenagers vs adults
· Nature, environment, ecology...
· Travelling in Europe.
· Musical instruments, music genres or music groups.
· Cultural differences in the world
· Economic crisis in the world
10. MAKING LINK LISTS
Another interesting thing that we have done was a link list of useful webpages that
we like and we use when we are working, like: google translator, word reference,
wikipedia and so on... Therefore, we firstly went to the dashboard, clicked on layout, and
went to add a gadget. To finish the work, we only had to choose the link list we wanted
and safe it.
11. WRITING A COLLABORATIVE
STORY IN GOOGLE DOCS
This was a very nice and enjoyable work that we created with our group of partners. In
the end, the stories that we created were incredible, but how were they made? They
seemed to be ordinary stories but really they weren't.
They were stories that we shared with our partners and each of us started writing our
own story and later continued with the others' stories.
Finally, to see what stories were the best ones, we organized a competition and the
winners were: Irati Salaberria, Sara Birawi, Ibon Iparragirre and Lore Lakunza.
12. MAKING THE TIMETABLE
For this straightforward project, we only had to make a google docs spreadsheet
document and here write our own time of classes we have during the week.
Here is an example:
Timetable
13. WRITING ABOUT A NOBEL PRIZE
WINNER
In this article we experimented with the advantages that docs gives us and we
created a spreadsheet to get information. And after having all the information and
choosing the Nobel Prize winner that we like most, we started writing an article.
Here is the spreadsheet with the information of the Nobel Winners:

And here you can find two finished works:
LUC MONTAGNIER

14. SUMMARIZING THE FIRST TERM
Here we have the presentation that we have done to summarize this term. As you
can see, we have done a lot of things and finally we show all we have studied.
