"If we teach today's students as we did yesterday's, we are robbing them of tomorrow" - John Dewey

USING VIDEO IN THE CLASSROOM

Students love being the protagonists of their own film clips. In this class, students were paired up to create dialogues demonstrating various verb tenses. In this example, they are using the future tense with 'will' to make predictions.

CLASS WIKIS

I have been using wikis with my classes for a few years now. What I love about them is that they are so easy to set up and all my students can easily join. I usually put a lot of class resources on the wiki and set it out term by term. I find it easy to set up all my grammar links for the year too, so students can practise what they are learning in class at their own pace. Of course, I also add a lot of links for students to improve their English whilst having 'fun'. (songs with lyrics, word games, comics, etc...) As a class, we have also been in contact with another school in America and the students were able to share their information about themselves and their lives. Basically, I use the wiki to put all of the work and information from any given class into one place and it makes it very easy for me, the teacher!
