Dear Participants,
Welcome to week 5!
We are glad you have managed to survive until this week!! Thus, to celebrate our survival, this week we will have a practical hands-on practice of creating online learning materials for students of different levels.
Activities
Our activities will be built around one theme: exploration of software for creating exercises based on suggested sites, together with the creation of three online exercises (one optional, two required)
- Start by exploring the software and try to decide which one you will be using for creating your own online exercises. You can let the group know what you think about these tools by posting in our yahoo group.
- Create one exercise for any of these skills :reading, writing, listening, speaking, or vocabulary, each one with a different application (Required)
- Explore the software for creating online surveys and worksheets.
- Create an online sheet for your students (Required)
- Create an online survey. (Optional)
- Join the presentation of Isabel Pérez Torres on Thursday, 15th February, 19:00 GMT, at Alado
