Reading a short tale

This is a short story that I have published using "Storybird".

“Storybird”  is a site where you can log in using different roles. I have used a regular role to create the activity. That means that this is a public activity and anybody can access it.However, if you are a teacher, you can adapt the activity just for your students. You can create a private access, so your authorized pupils can access and make controlled changes. You can begin a story and your pupils can continue it. You can add several pictures and they have to write a story related to them. You can create a disordered story so that they can order it. In any case,  all the inputs are stored and the teacher can get information about them.

Short tales are a good way to encourage students to improve their reading skill.

Enjoy it!

Improving your vocabulary

I have used Hot potatoes to create an easy activity to learn words related to the human body.

This tool involves six interfaces to create different activities.  I have used “JMatch”, “JCloze” and “The Masher” to make this activity. The Masher is an interface that let you join several activities. So the main page of this activity has been made with “Masher” and looks like an index that let you access the proposed activities.

It is composed by three different pages and is aimed at second grade students.

I hope you like it!

Using a Wall for a collaborative task

The main objective of this proposal is to offer a collaborative task.

It is based on a tool called “Padlet”. This tool allows teachers to create an open space of cooperation. Teachers can suggest a project and students will fill this space with information related to this theme.

I have created a Wall named “My little farm”. Then I have included 3 entries to encourage students to continue. They can add photographs, drawings, videos or documents to express their personal opinion and enhance the wall.   This is an open activity where everybody can access and add items. However it can be more restricted and a teacher can manage the authorization , control the inputs and get information about the use.
