A different way of doing a presentation.

This is my last project with 1º eso, (I have got a group of students who are not motivated at all). Have a look at what they did!.
We took picture of our classroom and this is what we got.This is done with www.photosynth.net.



Then they have to describe the classroom and I recorded then with audicity and here is what I got:

Clouds of words.

You can use these clouds of words to work with vocabulary, to make presentations more attractive, to decorate blog and anything you can imagine. I use www.worditout.com
and www.tagxedo.com ‎

Clapper Board.

Here you have another "fodey" tool. One of my students wrote this comment about a film she liked. www.fodey.com

Last weekend I watched a very, very, very interesting film: It's about a policeman called John Fergusson who saw a man falling from a roof. Then, he began to be fright of heights. He retired from his job because of his vertigo. One day, an old friend called John asked him a favour: he had to keep watch over his wife Madeleine because his friend believed that she was possessed by a spirit. John began to keep an eye over her, he followed Madeleine all day. Suddenly, she fell in the sea. John ran to save her. When she waked up, they began to talk and John fell in love with her.They went to visit a church. She ran up the stairs and she jumped from the roof. John couldn't believe what he had seen, she was dead.

Newspaper articles.

Look at this article, my students wrote about one of the most important events for the English Monarchy  in 2013. This is a very useful tool for reading and writing. You can find this tools in www.fodey.com 

My students´ avatars.

I have used avatars to make students introduce themselves, to describe physical appearances and for festivals like Halloween or Thanksgiving. I told my students to make an avatar using www.voki.com, they don´t need to register and it is free. A similar avatar creator is in www.sidepal.com but it is free only for 15 days after registration. My students had fun creating them and watching their partners´vokis. Here you can watch two of them.
