Mother`s Day!

I asked my kids group to create a card for their moms, but I wanted an e-card. So I opened my imagechef account and let them choose a model and write their messages. Most of them wanted the same model, but it was great! I sent them to their mother`s emails or shared in their facebook wall.
What I liked about it:
 Very little time consuming(20 minutes for 13 kids!)
  No paper waste;
  Highly motivating.
  I`m waiting for the mothers`reactions now!
Tools:
  imagechef
  mother`s emails or facebook
  glogster to show some models.

WordClouds

I attended a webinar session entitled `Words in a Cloud` last Saturday. During the session Ana Maria Menezes presented several word clouds generators tools and also ways of using them in class. I used Tagul to create the word cloud bellow in order to share the other generators shown at the webinar.

Another culturaedtech member, Roseli Serra, shared with us an interesting link about word clouds as well, it is entitled How to make Word Clouds in the classroom.

Last week I asked my students from Kids course to bring their mobile phones so that they could ask each other their own phone numbers. The activity was really nice because they were really engaged in it. They practiced numbers, the questions: "What`s your name/surname?  and What`t your phone number?".

Wigflip tools


Some weeks ago I accidentally came across wigflip.com.
I liked it because you can enliven your blogs, your lessons and also use it as a writing tool.
