Using ICT in your English classroompractical tools and ideasEster Solomon
Purpose of this session • Give some practical tools for using free on-line ICT materials in your classroom. • Assign homework or tasks on-line. Can also be used for class work. • I will not discuss Galim, Ofek, Time to Know etc. • At the end of this PPT are some useful links I didn’t have time to discuss.
English exercises • Building on-line exercises for your classrooms. • Using the existing exercises there are available on the website. • Homework or classwork. • Pupils will be able to submit the exercise again and improve their results.
Voki • Allows your pupils to create speaking avatars of themselves. • Use it for ID card, class debates, other projects. • Useful lesson plans are suggested. • Embed in your school website, English corner in a classroom websites.
OxfordOwl • 250 ebooks for 3-6 grade (also before, if you teach the lower grades). • Free login. • Allows you to create class login. • Some of the Ebooks offer activities.
Collaborated work • Linoit – looks like sticky notes. Can be used to introduce new theme or unit. • Padlet – used to be ‘wallwisher’. Post a question about any subject. The pupils can log in and write a comment. Can be done simultaneously.
Storyline on-line • A beautiful colorful website that makes reading fun. • Use in ‘Partani’ hours for advanced kids. • One of my favorites.
