TECHY TOOLS FOR SCHOOLS & EFL

The challenges in the new millennium require that both teachers and students become competent users of ICT, able to integrate Web 2.0 tools into their daily teaching and learning. Many of these tools are currently being used by educators to teach ESL or EFL. This blog is dedicated to those tools which can easily be adapted for use in the English classroom. It's a question of using these tools in innovative ways in order to engage our digital learners and motivate them to learn English!

PREZI

I love when I see a student motivated enough to do that little bit 'extra'. It doesn't happen very often! My 15 year-old students had to use Prezi to make recipes. Most of them, if not all of them, used images from google to show which ingredients they were using. This particular student actually took his own photos of each ingredient as he was making his 'panellets'. He took photos of each step as he was making his recipe and then of the final outcome. The result was a fantastic prezi presentation and one very happy teacher. It's nice to see there are still some students out there who are willing to put in that extra time.
