TOOLS FOR THE ENGLISH CLASS

Pilar Calvo Rodrigo

www.voki.com This is a very useful and funny tool for

the English class. With it we can create our own avatar

which can speak the text we provide with it in the box provided.

Students have fun with this tool because they see the avatar but they hear their teacher’s voice!!!

http://photopeach.com/ This tool is very useful in my classes

when I have just finished explaining the Five Kingdoms of the living beings.

I create a video with twenty photographs and music and they have to say the correct kingdom each animal belongs to.

http://www.flipsnack.com/es/ I didn’t know this tool. I think this could be very useful for our

Science Day. They will have to photograph the projects

they want to show other students and they will create their oun digital magazine under my supervision.

This digital magazine will be shown on computers and ipads.

EXTRA TOOLPASAPALABRA

http://formadorestic.somee.com/pasapalabra/indice.asp I create pasapalabras frequently. Sometimes I use a Pasapalabra to make initial

evaluations and, other times, I use them to check concepts before an exam.

Pupils fun a lot because they do not realise they are studying.

Futhermore, the game reproduce Homer Simpson sounds when they make a correct answer or an uncorrect answer.

In my blog I show you a Pasapalabra I created some days ago.

https://www.unitag.io/es/qrcode I use this web for creating qr codes for

initial evaluations, for making trivials with questions, etc.

In the next slide you can see an example I used for Ciencias de la Tierra y Medioambiente class (2º Bach.) the first day of class:

You need to download the app BIDI into your smartphone to see the codes correctly

Another AMAZING tool I love using with my pupils is ANATOMY 4D LEARNING.

It is an AUGMENTED REALITY tool. To use it we need smartphones or

tablets with the app downloaded and the next Image target:

What we see is something like this:
