Today has started with a very nice listening activity from www.breakingnewsenglish.com. Although I have been using the site for a long time, I have learned two very nice traits of the site. As it comes to the activity, we took notes while we are listening. Upon listening the audio, Russel made us use our notes for the "text jumble" activity. Then we had another great activity called "missing letter". Both were engaging and fun activities that helped a lot of language processing go on.
In the next session, we went deeper in Edmodo. We talked about how we can make the most out of "the wall" of Edmodo. We came up with some great ideas like:
- Posting pictures, videos etc. to have students describe it.
- For feedback.
- By using "poll" option to start an activity, to get feedback etc.
- Word of the day
- 3 word story competitions. (3 words but not related to each other like pineapple- society- jacket)
- We should be careful about the length of the activity.
- We should give model answers to avoid misunderstanding.
- We should know how to generate content or get from the other sites.
- We should care about the quality of the questions we asked.
