Final Project MAV

MY WORKSHOPS

Assessing websites

This workshop was useful to find out many websites that teachers can use in order to get truthful material for oue classess. 

*LOOK FOR USEFUL INFORMATION!

Working with wikis

This tool is a little bit complicated at the beginning, but when you learn to manage its options, you can do a lot of things. 

For example, here I created a description for an animal, I learned how to insert images and videos. When I had the final result I thought that it can be done with students in English clasess to practice grammar.

*GRAMMAR IN ACTION

Go!Animate

In this workshop I created a dialgue to practice simple present tense. I chose american voices to represent the characters. 

• Useful
• Funny
• Fast
• Characters 
• Ineresting

Storybird

This story was created by Camila and I. We worked with past siemple tense, food vocabulary. We decided to make up a funny story for 5th grade.

• Festivities -> Christmas, Thanks giving.
• Writing process
• Funny
• Teaching implicitly

Listening and Podcasting

This workshop is the one that I like the most. Camila and I looked for sound effects for scary story. We learned how to use audacity. In the beginning is very complicated and you need to be very pacient.

• Teachers 
• Listening material 
• Creativity

Comics

I worked with María Paz. I really loved this website because you can create your own characters. You can change their facial expressions and body gestures. The final result looks very real and characters matches with your story.

• Teachers and students
• Funny, different 
• Develop intrinsic motivation
• Work on grammar and creativity

Flash games

I think this type of websites make the students feel that they are doing something different and playing, but they do not notice that they are learning through this.

• Different option for teacher
• Break time in classess

Animations with PPT

I did not know how to use that technique in power point. It would be always useful learning new things to improve material for classes.

• Teachers and students
• Stories
• Poems
• Songs
