The focus of the module was on communication and creative use of the English Language in a content that had to do also with Literature.
I really liked the activities which were presented as they were focussed on doing and using the Language .
The tools which were suggested are now familiar with me: ADOBE SPARKS, PADLET and NEW GOOGLESITES.
As I am used to working with Padlet and also the new Googlesites I chose ADOBE SPARK for the task in this module.
We were given this interesting PADLET with some ideas shared by educators for using PADLET in the classroom and I am sharing it with you now. Padlet offers just three free boards now so I am not using it anymore but I must admit it has great uses in education.
Here is my creative Task for this module- I thought of Autumn and also some poems I had read about it:
this is the link to the activity which I created in a short time
Module 4
We had to focus on the way we learn and how we teach. We also saw an interesting webinar with Margaret Layton.
The webinar was interactive and made me realize that we can work on some topics related to global issues by using authentic materials and also extracts from modern literature.
The teacher plays an important role in choosing, selecting materials and guiding the learners into reading, reflecting and writing or speaking in English.
Hopefully, I can say that today we have a lot of free resources online which can help us. I am used to social networks like Twitter where I can find articles, videos and images that can help me develop units where learners are guided into learning while they are using English. Images and videos play an important part in the way we try to interact with our learners.
Here is my WAKELET with the resources for this interesting course. I cannot but say that I learnt a lot and will try to put into practice what I have learnt about.
