I have been browsing "the documents"we have been given , I mean the blogs , websites etc...and I have found two interesting websites I would like to share with you :
1- Demunca website :http://dvmunca.blogspot.com/
where you can find http://www.dvolver.com/live/home.html , for students to make their own film and which seems very interesting for teenage students .
I have decided to try it with my 9th grade pupils next week and I will let you know how it worked out.
2-Julia Koifman' s blog in which she tells us about using" you tube" to help students like poetry . It seems very interesting .
I know it is the right way to take but it requires a lot of questionning , re-assessing my way of teaching since the pupils are more and more demanding and very quickly bored and uninterested in what is presented to them .
Learning the technique , discovering the new tools , adapting my teaching ....a real revolution for me but I know it is the route to take .
Thank you for your help!
Christine, I checked the two websites and I really loved them. you can also go to my blog for a similar site we can use for teaching young learners!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I have offered in the Nicenet to publish all the links we have found in its special part, which is called "Sharing Links" or so.
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, thanks for sharing those links. I tried dvolver with my students and it worked great. I teach at tertiary level and my students are actually teachers-to-be. One recommendation I can make is that first they need to create a storyboard in oder to check coherence and cohesion and you also need to tell them how you will assess the videos. Hope this helps you.
