Hi Everypone, today I would like to share with you a great way to get to know your classmates or a good activity you can carry out in class for your students to meet each other. As part of our ICT subject we are introducing our classmates, but this is an activity you can easily do with your students, so that they can introduce their peers working in pairs.
This is Maider, a student from Pamplona. This year, she is studing the Master with me, but the prevoius year she got a Degree in Early Childhood Education, and she is also a P.E. teacher.
In order to make the flipped introductions' video, we first opened a google drive document, were we wrote the main questions, and our personal answers. In our case the main points we decided to talk about were:
- Introduction: with the name, the birthplace and the actual ocupation
- Studies we have already achieve
- Favourite activities in the world
- Our dream ocupation if we weren't teachers.
- Expectations or future plans
- Persona site or blog.
After deciding the main points or topics to talk about we got into the main point which actually was recording the audio and creating the video.
For that purpose I used Powtoon a free tool to create animated videos and presentations, were you can also record your own voice or also, your classmate voice, once this is finished, powtoon gives you the option to upload it directly on your youtube channel if you have one.
And this is the final result:
Selfreflection on the leaning I have acquired by doing this activity:
Through this activity we are able to use new tools such as Powtoon (the one I used). But also is a good way to know more about our classmates, meanwhile developing our listening and speaking skills.
I hope you've liked it and have had a good time with this post.
Thank you for reading please don't forget to follow Maider's blog to see her flipped introduction of myself and I hope to see you soon on my next post.
