Picasa albums exploring

A simple way to ask students to edit images to make up a story (no sound)

An interesting website!!!

  Hello everybody:

  I think this is a really interesting website to use with our puppils. I have used it in the computer room with the puppils, to work on their own or in the classroom to tell them stories!

Greetings from Orozko

thanks to flickr

Hello! this is the first time I post anything here. At Orozko school, for the moment, we are trying using the computer room once a month with each student group.
At present we are just working with the CD Roms provided by the publisher (Macmillan).
We are quite happy about it.

Descriptions

We are working on descriptions in Primary 3 and I think this song can be quite useful in this season. Or maybe too early?
Let's listen to it!
Ready?

I need new ideas...but where?

The way we teach English is changing as we are .
We have changed the methodology, the resources, the realia, the tools....
But sometimes we think we haven't got enough to share with students and we feel frustated. As far as I know, the material amount is so huge we canNot organize it in a right way and we are repeating the same thing everytime.
Just in case, I can show you a great site, ONESTOPENGLISH, where we can spend some free time searching fantastic resources, nice games, motivating activities, and so on.
Do you want to have a look?
Let me know your opinion about that.
See you.

PowerPoint to YouTube using Windows Movie Maker

I think you'll like this tutorial. It shows us an easy free way to take power point presentation to you tube

How to upload PowerPoint to You Tube

I've seen that some of you have uploaded power point presentation to your blogs but you've lost the sound and you feel miserable about it!. The only thing -as far as I know!- we may do to avoind this problem is uploading power points to you tube. Here is a tutorial to use a converter called wondershare. However, I don't think it's free!

Learning to create our own podcasts

Here is a sample podcast!

Glogster

Using web resources in the classroom - session 2

In this session we'll be looking at tips for using IWBs in the classroom.

• You can download this article Focus on interactive whiteboard technology which I think is very useful.

• There's also a good video from teachers.tv  Primary ICT - Creating a Whiteboard Lesson

We'll also be looking at:

• Glogster.edu which is good fun for making mini-blogs and interactive posters
• Zimmertwins for making animated movies
• the new LearnEnglish Kids site which has loads of resources for teachers and kids plus ways for you to become involved

Using web reources in the classroom – session 1

We looked at creating vokis.


If you want a reminder of the steps involved in creating a voki, here's a tutorial.

And here's a tutorial for embedding a voki into A WordPress blog. Basically you need to add this button to your browser toolbar.

We also looked at creating VoiceThreads.




Again, here's a tutorial if you need a reminder of the steps.

You also might find this video from teachers.tv interesting which shows teachers using vokis and VoiceThread (amongst other web 2.0 resources) in the classroom.

Key word: learning

We'll devote next two seminars to learn and improve our ICT skills along with Ann from the British Council.
Looking forward to seeing you all.
