Edpuzzle

My idea is to make a little of flipped classroom with music, something they usually like, even though this time it's me who chooses the band...

I will ask them to watch this video at home and pay attention to the final speech of the organiser of the concert:

Next day in class we will watch the full video again and finally we with work with Edpuzzle. I have edited the video and selected only the final part, the part where the organiser of the concert explains the reason for that concert, that's what I'm most interested that students pay attention to. 

I have previously created a class and students have received an invitation, so today they will be allowed to use their mobile phones in class to do the Edpuzzle task, namely, answer the questions I have inserted in the video:

This is my first experience with Edpuzzle and I have chosen a short video imported from Youtube. My intention is, once I know how it works and the potential it has, prepare longer videos with more and varied activities, not just the typical gap fill activity.

Pixton

Well, it seems that Pixton has changed its policy and now students can't share or download their projects, so here I insert some pictures of a 1ESO group: For the 1st session I divided the class in 4 students groups and asked them to prepare a "script" or a simple plot for the comic strip and asked them to bring one mobile phone per group to school for session 2. In class, they registered using their corporate Google accounts, and during session 2 they got familiar with the website. Finally in session 3 they finished their projects, it's a shame they were no able to download or share it. They were free to do what they liked, under my surveillance and help for grammar, vocabulary or even the plot itself. They didn't have much fun with the dialogues and texts in general but they loved the final result for sure. Next time I use Pixton, instead of letting them do a comic about anything they like, I will make a "monographic" comic contest, I mean, one day it ...

Genially

  Last week I divided the class into couples and I showed them Genially. They loved it, they are in 1ESO and it was their first contact with it. I showed them several possibilities and all of them chose Gamification so I let them choose one of the games templates and we were working on questions/answers for a couple of classes. I have been helping them, of course, to find and formulate questions and finding the answers, making sure that the rest of the groups didn’t see them. Finally they had the weekend to create the Genially, one of the students of each couple was responsible for the language (translation, vocabulary and grammar) and the other was responsible to pass all the information to their template. Well, today was the great day for them and they had to present their projects to the class; as they were all games and quizzes there was not much to worry about, basically they just had to ask their classmates (by heart) or reading the questions from the whiteboard and t...
