week 6
As usual, I'm overwhelmed by the amount of material and info we've been given. I wish I could spend time experimenting with all the options presented, but it's not going happen, especially not 2 weeks before Pesach. However, I bookmarked the sites that looked especially promising, and I plan to revisit them when I have more time.
In our school, besides the limited technology that is available, we also have Internet Rimon - read that as 'filter'! I'm not sure how many of these sites could be opened in school. However, I'll list my wishful thinking:
1. Skype - This could be a wonderful opportunity to connect with English learners in other countries. I think I probably would have to do a lot of preparation, but I think the students would find it a very interesting way to practice their speaking skills and find out about other cultures in an exciting way.
2. idebate - http://idebate.org/view/top_100_debates
I would use this for native speakers or VERY good 5 pointers. It's an excellent site but the English is very high level.
3. I liked Voice threads.http://voicethread.com/
I haven't figured it out totally, but I'd like to create a post-reading activity for the literature log using this program.
4. Sms generator - http://www.classtools.net/SMS/
This is a great tool to get kids to write. It can start with the simplest writing assignment and with increased proficiency become more difficult. It's especially good for weak students who are afraid of writing.
5. Storyjumper - http://www.storyjumper.com/book/docreate/-1
This is the link to the actual page where you start writing your book. Students can create a book on any level with images and can either share it online or have it printed. It can be done collaboratively or individually. It's another amazing site that encourages creative writing.
I chose all these tools because I felt they have practical uses.
