This article aims to analyze some videos for children from the perspective of multimodality and presents itself as interactive, playful, and multimodal, using formal and colloquial languages, with incorporated qr codes, links and smiles. At first glance, basic understanding of modes, their classifications and connections is brought forth. Then, there’s a discussion about image, layout, sound, and intention. As a corpus of analysis, some games in video format from Canal Carimbócu on Youtube are taken, addressing their pedagogical references and some creation histories, but mainly the productions as semiotic material.  The review of the videos are made by free report and, at the same time, are guided by known classifications and elaborated by multimodality authors. The conclusion is directed towards the viewpoint of the ideological criticism, figuring the analysis of children’s games with the construction of discourses that take into account cultural diversity, the anti-racist, anti-misogynistic sense, in addition to treating learning and intellectual efforts with fun and joy.

Our Chinese UNICAMP

This thinking exercise with photos is a consequence of the propositions made by Teacher Dr. Cláudia Hilsdorf Rocha, in the module of Topics in Applied Linguistics – Translanguaging, in the postgraduate course at the brazilian State University of Campinas.

After talking about the book Atlas, by Jorge Luis Borges and Maria Kodama, the work follows the idea of an “Atlas of Experiences in Languages”.

With this reflection exercise, I try to bring together an assemblage to expand the ideas, connecting a common world of Campinas (everything in Portuguese) to the point of view of those who cannot read, in addition to the possibility of materializing, connecting and covering another language. The photos start from the interest in the other, from trying to discover how things talk.

A traffic sign is a letter thrown on the street, it catches my eye and makes sense to me. And making sense catches my eye. I see myself in a plot, in a process of production of meanings that re-materializes in assemblage.

Good fun. Kiko Arquer (Francisco Arquer Thomé) 其科

This work seeks to come closer to a continuous teacher training, uttering with methodological and contextual endeavours that articulate the dialogue and an interdisciplinary coordination between two fields of knowledge, Mathematics and Portuguese. 

The approach alludes to the role of schools and teachers in literacies, bringing articulations from Common Core Curriculum, National Curricular Parameters, and leading discussions about pedagogical practices in this transition process.

More than collecting data, interviews and linking the training applicability , this research comes up with a Lesson Plan that encourages playfulness as a methodological resource and points out to the children’s creative development.

Educational and methodological relations in childhood education: considerations about  the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

This paper aims to treat and address in a bibliographic and epistemic way the presence and inclusion of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in early childhood education.

There is a methodological investigation that helps common class teachers to decide on inclusive practices and improve the diagnosis of the scenarios that cover this topic. In this perspective, the theme seeks to ensure the fruitful integration of children with ASD in educational activities, looking at the importance of literacies, playful activities and adaptations necessary for their development.

The education of children with autism requires care that goes beyond the equitable treatment of the educator, as it includes the management of differences, contextual, collaborative knowledge, and methodological integration techniques. In addition, this Integrator Project collects data and interviews on the topic, providing support for a Lesson Plan that ensures that educators and children reinforce a favorable scenario for education and enjoy learning in an organized and adapted way.
