Story-starter in 50 words

Second week has begun, so we have new tasks to do.

During this week, participants will 

• explore some digital tools for writing in the classroom
• see examples of how these writing tools can be used in the classroom for creative writing and research projects 
• share ideas on how they would use those tools with their learners 

Task 1. 

Create story-starter in 50 words using three pictures.

Mavka was sitting on the rock.  On that day the sea was really crazy, so even she – the mermaid- was afraid to play in the water.  Roaring high waves were rolling on the shore beating it with great might.   Suddenly she noticed her favourite dolphin Lukas, and at the same moment Mavka understood, that he was in trouble. 

Talking pets

I've tried new web tool. I think it is a great idea for the primary students, when they study topic "Animals"

My dog Knopka is telling about me.

I've created this using  Scholastic story starter 

New ideas for lessons

Well, the first week of my on-line courses has already done. I am the participant of two courses at the same time, because it ws difficult to choose. Both of them are very similar, they introduce new web 2.0. tools for teaching and learning.
1. Digitall tools for classroom
2. Digital storytelling for young learners.

Such as I am very energetic crazy  person, I have a lot of ideas how to use my knowledge at school.

First of all, I have contacted with my friend from Kyrgyzstan Astra Shakenbaeva. We were together in the USA in 2008.  So we decided to do  some very simple  project with our primary students.
I've created wiki-page "English Bridge" http://englishbridge.wikispaces.com/  and we'll upload there works of our students. We don't know exactly which tools shall we use, but topics will be simple "Story about myself", "My family",  "My house", "My pets". And later we'll organise the Skype conference between our schools.
So, as you see - simple and quite quick.


And my second project is with students of my 8th class. We begin new topic at school "Mass Media", so it is understanable that we are going to create own newspaper. In fact, everybody has to create own blog, then write an article and after that we'll make one collaborative paper newspaper with articles. In fact blog will be e-portfolio of my students and they will add different digital products there.
I have created one more wiki-page "8v class" http://8vclass.wikispaces.com/ which will help me to coordinate work of my students. Hope everything will be OK.

Animoto introduction

And one more introduction.
This time I've used www.animoto.com.
It is a simple way to create video from your pictures. You can choose styles, can add text and music.
But using this tool is not free. For free you can create only very short video - 30 second.
Here is my example:

Try our slideshow maker at Animoto.

Voki

My first creation with new tool - www.voki.com.
It is really simple to create talking avatar using this site. You can choose any hero, any hair style, colour of the skin, clothes and even the voice of your hero. 
There are a lot of different pictures for  background, but I've uploaded the picture of my school from computer.
Now my blogs became really MINE.

EVO session 2012

A new year has become and a new on-line course has began too.  Among 14 different courses I've chosen "Digital Tools with Purpose in the classroom".  The main reason of my choice is my interest in CALL.
Besides I know personally some of our tutors. And the last but not the least reason- my New Year Resolution. It is my second EVO session and last year I didn't do my best, so I hope to study better this year. I try to keep my resolution. I try...
