My first Edpuzzle

Hi, this is the link for my first Edpuzzle:



The reason I've chosen this video is because I think my students will get more engaged with this subject if they perceive its usefulness. British culture may sometimes be seen as something disconnected with EFL. So the main objective was to give a glimpse of such culture. The second objective was to motivate these digital natives to approach listening activities form a different angle.

The sequence went as follows:
1. General discussion to test the students knowledge about Britain. 
2. Show some examples of Edpuzzle to make them familiar with the app.
3. Give them the class code.
4. Assign the task to be done at home (flipping)

I think the students liked the activity because the percentage of participation was quite high. My next puzzle will include some voice recording too, both on my behalf and theirs.

    Hi Francisco Javier,
    I find your activities very well explained and interesting. So your blog can be useful for other teachers. However, I think it could be better if you choose another format where we can read the whole post at a glance, without needing to click on Read More.
    Congratulations for your interesting post!

    Good afternoon Francisco Javier.
    The task done by you has seemed quite complete. In addition, your reflections on each of the tasks carried out in the course are quite clear. Congratulations!
    As an aspect to improve, I could mention that perhaps you could use colours and pictures that would get more the students' attention. Perhaps the blog design is too "serious" for the age of your students.
    Greetings.

  I like the Storyjumper from María del Rocío’s Study Maniac blog. I have thought that I could use it with my 3rd PMAR students after Xmas holidays to revise the tenses they studied in the first term. So the activity proposed consisted of making a fairy tale, as they would find it easier to do since they are familiar with them. They were reluctant to do the activity on their own, so I decided that we would build it together, hoping they would find it motivating in order to encourage themselves next time. They chose Little Red Riding Hood . The steps went as follows: 1.        Revise the story. 2.        Provide the basic vocabulary needed. 3.        Revise the past simple, the present simple and the going to future. 4.        Build the story together. 5.        Feedback.

Pixton Comics

   Hi, here's the link to Pixton Comics: https://share.pixton.com/qe8qeqg Sequence of the activity: Practise of the time and the vocabulary related to their daily routines. Explanation of present simple. Showing of some examples of Pixton comics already made. Doing together a sample comic on the interactive whiteboard. Publishing the activity to be done on Classroom (My daily routines - individual activity) and solve doubts. Co-evaluation in class of all the projects. Objectives: To revise the time and the vocabulary of routines. To learn the present simple. To make the learning process engaging. To learn to write creatively I think my students were very happy to do a writing activity in a creative way, which resulted in more tasks handed in than usual, as I gave them absolute freedom to do the comic the way they liked. They really enjoyed the process rather than the product as they could interact with their avatar.
