Trying and Testing

Becoming a Webhead 2013 - Week 4

As you can see I'm trying to catch up .... I've been busy for the past two weeks and now I would like to start exploring some of the tools mentioned in this amazing course. I have started from this week's quiz and test creating tools.

I have been using Edmodo for two years and I have often used the quiz feature which I find particularly interesting as it allows you to create different types of tests/quizzes (multiple choice - true/false - fill in the blank) and you can add images. Students can have the result of their test at the end and you can write your comments and advice under each task after they have submitted the test. Moreover, you can export the results of your whole class to an excel file.

This is the first tool I tried:

ESLVideo                             

I created a videoquiz on healthy food using a video from Youtube. It takes a little bit of time at the beginning but it's not difficult to use. It's a really useful tool for listening activities.

Digital Storytelling for Young Learners - Week 3

This week we have been asked to play with tools allowing teachers to create videos to be used in their English class.

I have tried Photopeach because I had never used it before. I was inspired by the amazing videos created by some of my colleagues and created a video quiz about London that I will immediately use with my students.
