Working with writing

I'm going to talk about a very good tool I learnt last semester In Edtech course by Ana Maria Menezes. It's called Bookr. This time I'll share something I did with students. Firstly I showed students in class how it works. It was a Junior group (1st semester). I wanted them to describe an animal  (topic : description).After demonstrating I went to the lab with them and each one was supposed to write their description using this tool. It's a very colorful tool and simple to use, even children could do it. What they liked mostly was searching for photos, they had a lot of fun. I selected one of them to show and the others you can see by clicking the links below. They were really cute.

It's not only useful for teachers and students , you can use it to send to people as gifts or birthday occasions.

Working with a little of writing

I was exploring  cool tools and then I noticed that many of the tools suggested there are familiar to me . I was first exposed to them when I took the course Edtech last May/2010 ministered by Ana Maria Menezes. After observing this agreeable coincidence I decided to post some of the tools I learnt.

To work with a little of writing I selected wallwisher. I prepared this for my Upper intermediate group. The topic is regrets. I'll show the wall in class and teach them how it works . I'll use Edmodo.  Then  one by one  will be asked to come to the keyboard and type their phrase. It's simple and fast . Can be done in class (I'll use the interactive board ) or using their PCs at home.
