Free online word cloud generator and tag cloud creator - WordClouds.com - 15 views

  •  
    A very useful tool for making a cover of a book or a welcome page of a website or so.

    Like it, easy for children to create their own, as you suggest, book cover. Technology in kids hands should evoke creativity and not only be a means of media consumption.
  •  
    A very useful tool. Can be used for creative designing.
  •  
    We can practice adjectives, nouns , verbs, adverbs. We can make them to create Noun Cloud. :) That would be awesome. It motivates children to create some very personalize. They would chose the shapes for their group of nouns, adjectives, adverbs, articles, etc.
  •  
    Which is a good software to help students (4-5 yrs) prepare a simple slideshow or arrange pictures in a logical sequence (eg. transformation of a butterfly from egg to adult)?

    There are a lot of different ways of using word clouds as far as EFL is concerned. You name it: 1) predict the content of a text e.g. topics, style, purpose, etc. 2) writing or speaking prompts 3) reading comprehension questions just, then comparing answers after reading the actual text 4) summarise a presentation 5) identify or create the key words to a text 6) expanding vocabulary (definitions, synonyms, antonyms, or brainstorm words associated with a new one, match parts of collocations) 7) explore a topic (students add own ideas to a question stimulus & build a cloud) 8) student ice-breaker 9) highlight examples of misspelled or overused words in student writing by inputting their own work 10) 'grammar game' e.g. students classify words from a cloud into different parts of speech or different tenses 11) 'sentence structure' game e.g. input a complex sentence or short series of sentences into a word cloud, and have students reconstruct them in the correct word order 12) 'memory game' e.g. show a word cloud, take it off the screen, students write as many words as they can recall 13) identify parts of speech (students highlight or underline in different colours) 14) Students pre-assessing their own knowledge and understanding - "What does something mean to me?" as in a KWL chart

    Hi you also use this Online RSN to BSN Degree Program for more knowledge and acknowledgement.
  •  
    I have seen these in classrooms. They definitely seem to help the students.
  •  
    It is the first time I see this app and I love it! I think it would look great on a cover and it could work really good for engaging students with a kind of crosswords´ activity.
  •  
    I went through the site and it looks like an amazing site to add to my tool/resource list. I can use it as a mindmap for children in the class and collate their ideas. Thank you for sharing.

    This looks great! With a special educational set of images too. I use too much words in my slides and creating a video will certainly get me away from words and focus on the flow of the story I want to tell.
  •  
    This looks amazing, I'll try to use it. It would be nice to use it to share a story with the students since some struggle to understand only by listening. Thank you for sharing this with us.
  •  
    An amazing tool to create more interesting videos and slides enhencing students into the topic. It looks pretty easy to use, it is kind of similar to powtoon but it looks easier.
  •  
    this is great! i cant wait to try it with my class.
  •  
    I'm going to try this. Usually, for online learning I will make my own presentation and then do a screen recording on the Mac which records your voice at the same time. A more fun, interactive presentation may help the students pay closer attention.
  •  
    Thanks for sharing. I've always thought that kind of video is very visually appealing for students. I'll definitely explore MySimpleShow! It could be used to explain difficult topics in a simple way.

The Discovery Technique For Teaching Grammar: Just Get Out Of The Way And See How Much ... - 2 views

  • the discovery technique has three primary benefits
  • First
  • since students are solving a grammar mystery, they tend to pay more attention and stay more engaged
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • They are discovering it for themselves
  • Secondly, students who learn with the discovery technique tend to remember the rules of grammar better because they have played a part in discovering them
  • The final benefit might be the greatest of all. Because they have learned grammar by figuring out the rules from context, students familiar with this technique have an easier time figuring out unfamiliar grammar structures they encounter in the future
  • Instead, students are given content in which the target structure is used. Students then discover the grammatical rule or figure out the pattern for themselves. The teacher’s role is to guide students to their own discovery, not to give students the information on the grammar rule.

Advantages of Using ICT in Learning-Teaching Process - 4 views

  •  
    Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have recently gained a groundswell of interest, becoming a significant research area for many scholars around the globe. one of the reasons for this surge is that nature of ICT has greatly changed the face of education. For most European countries, the use of ICT, in education and training, has become a priority during the last decade; however, very few have achieved progress. Indeed, only a small percentage of schools, in a few countries, effectively used ICT to support and change the teaching and learning process in diverse subject areas. Others are still in the early phases of adopting ICT.

Screen-time - An important time for kids - 1 views

  •  
    I stopped to read the provided key points about screen time for kids together with its corresponding article because, it has been always a topic in my mind when friends share their disapproval about TV watching. I always back up my thoughts by considering that the problem is not the amount of screen they have but, the purpse for its use. Unfortunately, I believe many parents use TV or simile, as baby sitters, this I consider negative. While reading these articlaes, my ideas became clearer and on paper! Technology, many times neglected by old-fashioned teaching teachers, is often considered in the same way and, I truly believe that it must be also considered something positive, enhancing and motivating if used wisely.
  •  
    Besides all the online applications, programs, tools and games .. screen time is equally important for kids. The article also rejects the myths that parents and teachers have in minds regarding screen time. This perspective can be changed in to positivity by by proper monitoring of kids during screen time.
