English
Themes for Beginners and
intermediates from
Larry Ferlazzo
Using
technology may seem difficult
to implement when we consider
very young learners but who
can deny the fruitful results
in integrating technology and
using some Web 2.0 tools in
our English lessons. Here
comes my top 10 Web 2.0 tools
for tech savvy teachers of
very young learners.
Voki is
certainly the first tool that
you can use with your young
learners. It's site
where you can create your
animated and speaking avatar,
with your own voice or using
your text-to speech
application. you can fully
customize your character and
your voki character moves his
head and eyes with the
movement of the mouse. Kids
love this!! You can use voki
to introduce a new topic,
retell stories, use it as a
class mascot, let your
students sing and let them
practise English. They do
love to hear their voices.
Here is
a great
post by Shelly
Terrellon
using vokis in classes and
a great
video from
Russell
Stannard how to
create a voki avatar.
Voicethread is the
best digital storytelling
tool to use with your
students no matter what age
they are. You create a
digital presentation and let
the kids comment on each
picture by recording their
voices, writing a text or
filming themselves. It's a
great way to retell the
stories, create an engaging
speaking activity for the
kids and collaborate with
other classes from all over
the world. Have a look at
some of the examples
here.
Probably, all of us know
about
EduGlosgter. It's
an online and an interactive
poster where you can embed
text, video, audio, animated
graphics, pictures and music.
Watch
Russell
Stannard's video on
Glogster. He has explained
everything for us. Glogster
can be a great way to display
information, children's work.
Kids love themselves watching
or hearing on a creative,
animated and a colourful
outlet.
BubbleJoy lets
you create a video greeting
card using your own video.
You can choose from different
fun card designs that will
fit in to your topic.
Kerpoof is
another site that is suitable
to use with young and very
young learners. It's a
creative way to tell stories,
create animated movies and
greeting cards.
StoryBird allows
children to create their own
stories from scratch using
their own text and pictures.
It's also collaborating so
children can start a story at
home and you can finish it
when they come back to
school.
Fotobabble
is a way to make
photos talk. You just upload
your pictures, record your
voice and publish it. It's
another way to motivate
children to speak. They do
love and have fun while they
are listening to their own
voices.
