I ´ve been searching for interesting web tools I can use to develop projects with students for EASTER and these are some of the ideas I had. We can ask students to create some easter messages, record them and send the greeting cards to their parents. We can also share the links to all cards created in a wallwisher.
TOKBOX - create a video greeting card with the pre-set backgrounds. Click on send video message, then below your webcam image, click on GREETINGS, click on the arrow next to mother´s day and you´ll find easter.
This is another great tool to use with students. With Blabberize, you can choose an image to add audio to.
choose an image from your computer
select the space for the mouth to move
record an audio message or upload a pre-recorded audio
click on the envelope icon to preview, and then save it
for the embed code click on the SHARE button
EASY, EASY.
How can you use this with students?
Students can use blabberize to read texts they have created. Ex: They can say what a character did last weekend, or express an opinion, or talk about future plans.
You can use this activity to practise any language you´re working on.
You can give sts the chance to write first, practise reading their text, record their voices and finally listen to each other.
It´s important to say that it´s always nice and safer to speak behind a mask, if you know what I mean.
I´ve also seen sts draw characters, scan the images, and use it in Blabberize to narrate their biography (an arts project I´ve seen in the net, Fantastic, by the way)
