Glitches here, glitches there...glitches everywhere

OMG!!!!!! I struggled to post my students´ latest work. I guess something was wrong because the links I made for their projects wouldn´t open. I hope it´s ok now.

Digital Projects 2/2011: Junior

Besides working digitally with my teens groups, I also assigned digital taks for my elementary groups. For three of the digital tasks carried out this semester, we covered the lesson, which included a grammar point and vocabulary. Then, students were assigned a written task, in which they were supposed to use what they had learned and which was corrected and then translated into a digital presentation. In order to accomplish that, a data show presentation was given, so students learned how to use the digital tools, they worked individually at home and when they finished, they presented ther final work to peers. However, other digital activities either didn´t take much time to be accomplished (SONGIFY and BLABBERIZE) for we finished it and presented it on the same day or were digitally made by me and then shown to them (PHOTOPEACH). Here are a few:


MIXBOOK: My breakfast - Students wrote about what they have for breakfast.


Mixbook - Create Beautiful Photo Books and Scrapbooks! | View Sample Photo Books | Create your own Photo Book



PHOTOPEACH: Food Vocabulary - Students drew and wrote about their favorite foods.


The foods I like - 2/2011 (Class D9) on PhotoPeach




BLABBERIZE: The Third Person - Students learned the third person of the verb like to talk and write about a person´s likes and dislikes.

The kids are on fire!!!



Unlike the previous semesters, this year I focused on working digitally with my teens groups. Boy, did they work!!! Of course, there were a few uncooperative students, either because they don´t have a computer at home, which would make it difficult for them to carry out tasks assigned for homework, for example) or because they were not interested at all. In other cases, there were some technical glitches on the way. Nevertheless,  most of them got involved, as much as possible, in each and every project proposed, which was a total of five. I had never thought it would be possible to carry out so many digital activities in one semester. I'm super excited to show you guys the result. The thing is... As soon as I organize everything in its place, I'll post it here. See you!!!
