Blended learning - strony internetowe do wykorzystania na lekcjach języka angielskiego

W dniach 15.07.13-26.07.13 odbyłam szkolenie metodyczno-językowe w Oxford, Wielkiej Brytanii w ramach programu Comenius Mobilność Szkolnej Kadry Edukacyjnej. Na kursie zorganizowanym przez Lake School of English otrzymaliśmy wiele ciekawych materiałów do wykorzystania na lekcjach. Jednym z nich jest wykorzystanie nowoczesnych technologii do uatrakcyjnienia lekcji oraz rozwoju zawodowego nauczyciela.


Writing
Moviemaker (www.dvolver.com)
Website for creating animated cartoons. Good for older children (10+). Lots of film vocabulary. You can also email your movie to people.

Moviemaker (goanimate.com)
Creating your own animated cartoons. There arę many characters and settings to choose from and you can upload your films to Youtube or download them to your desktop. Not as easy to use as Dvolver but more engaging for students in the long term Suitable for older children. Voiceover rather than text.

Cartoon strip (www.makebeliefscomix.com)
This is similar to Britstrips, but is more suitable for older learners (12+). There is a teacher's guide on the site with lots of good ideas. Also there is a bank of free printables which are great for wall displays.

Cartoon strip (www.toondoo.com)
Probably the easiest site to use, but unlike Bitstrips and Makebeliefs Comix, you have to have an account. This is not a bad thing, especially if you want your catoons saved to use in the future.
