Hi everyone,
Here a few great resources which I
have found to be very useful in and for the classroom.
Duolingo is a language learning
platform which includes an app and website that students can use in the
classroom. Duolingo provides
"Duolingo for Schools" with features designed to allow teachers to
track their students. The students start with an assessment of their language
proficiency, and then continue to complete certain levels and earn points. As
they complete the levels, they progress to more challenging levels. There are
many different themes for students to explore, which they can do depending on
what they are learning in class. This is a great app to use for students to practice
their French on their own, if there is some extra time during class, or if
students finish a task early and need something to work on.
Exit cards are great offline tool for
teachers to use in the classroom. Teachers can use exit cards at the end of a
lesson or a unit to assess student learning. Exit cards can be used as a
formative assessment to gauge student understanding. I have found them to be
useful when I ask students about what they have learned so far to gain an
understanding of that the class has learned and the level of each student. Exit
cards are also a great tool for students to reflect on their own learning and
gain a better understanding of where they are at and how they need to move
forward.
2. Chatterpix (online app)
Chatterpix is an app which allows you
to turn ordinary pictures into talking videos. You just have to take a picture
of an object, draw a mouth on it, and record your voice. The picture then
speaks what you recorded as if the object is saying it. This is a great app for
students to practice their spoken language. I have also used this app for a
French class. Students are able to practice their spoken French in a fun and
unique way instead of the usual presentation in front of the class. This app is
also great for students who do not like to be video recorded, but instead use
only the audio in a creative way.
3. Weareteachers (online)
WeAreTeachers is a great website for
teachers with plenty of resources. On the website, you can find grade and subject
specific ideas and activities for your classroom. There are many great examples
of what other teachers are doing in their classrooms which you can use and
modify for your classroom needs. There are also grade and subject specific
printable resources, including worksheets, information sheets, and activity
sheets, which teachers can access and use in their classrooms. This website
also has many different articles for teachers to read about career advice, and
personal wellbeing. Overall this is a valuable website for teachers to explore.
4. Exit cards (offline)
