Hot Potatoes

With this programme we can create a lot of activities or change existing ones to make the students use computers to do them, which is more engaging.

We have one that can be used in our CLIL unit, as it is a drop and match activity with vocabulary related to different things related in water use, as our CLIL unit is about that topic.

I have also created 3 activities, using the sample papers for Fun For Flyers 2018, because it is a way of introducing ICT in the classroom to do exercises that are usually done with paper and pencil. Although the exercices are the same, I think that using a computer to make them, will motivate the students more and they will see it as something different, challeging and engaging. (I made an Index, but I don't know why when you click on the activities doesn't go to them)

In the first activity, called definitions they have to match the definitions with the correct word just dragging and dropping the word next to its definition.

In the second activity, which is called Questions and answers, they have some questions and they have to choose the correct answer from 4 different choices.

A postcard is the third and last activity, and it is a gap filling exercise, where they have a picture written with some gaps that they have to complete

Final reflecction 1

In this first part, we were presented with different tools to use online. Some of them were familiar to me, for example, I already knew about Quizlet, because I used it as a student, so it was good to use it as a teacher, I mean to create the exercises myself, and see the possibilities it has, and not using it with the topic someone else created for their students to practise and learn. Another tool I knew about was Blogger, as in other subjects we have worked with it, apart from a course I took several years ago where I learnt quite a lot of things about blogger and I started my own blog , although I stopped posting 3 years ago, due to the lack of readers and time to create content. However, I have used blogger lately but in the private version of it to share some content that I didn't want to be public to everyone, only to some people, as it was related to my job. One of the most useful things of this first part of the course, as a student, was the use of Mendeley. Altho...

Final PLE

Imagen
This my final PLE There are lots of things in there, some of them could have also been in the initial one, but I didn't realise how useful they were, and how without noticing I use them to learn, like for exampl,s Social Networks, which sometimes have interesting information to apply in a classroom, or information about my interests. Also it has tools that we used during the course, like Kahoot, Quizizz, Animoto,..., tools I will use in my life as a teacher, but that are also helpful for me as a student. Some of these would have been very useful in previous years,  In this picture you can see the sites grouped -VLP:   MiAulario-UPNA , FutureLearn , Edmodo  and Google Classroom -Vídeo Tools:  Animoto ,  Mysimpleshow ,  Powtoon -Blog creation:  Blogger  and  WordPress -Mindmap tools:  Coggle ,  Mindup 2 ,  Mindomo  and  Mindmeister -Resources&citing: Dialnet and Mendele...

Podcast

Another very useful thing we learnt in this course is how to create podcasts. Podcasts are very interesting because they can be listen to in the computer, mp3, tablets, and as teacher if we tell students to do something else, we can assess if their oral comprehension is good or not. Apart from that we can use a tool like Podomatic to make them create a podcast, which can be very useful too and that can engage them into speaking in English to create it and also to be more careful with their pronunciation. My podcast  is named "Change Hugo's face for the film". In this podcast the students have to listen to it and draw the face that Hugo has at the end of it. This way the students will listen to something but also they will perform something and as they have to colour and draw can be very funny and entretaining for them. The podcast was made reading a text by Robinson and Saxby (2010) Robinson, A. and Saxby, K. (2010) Fun for movers. Cambridge: Cambridge Univer...
