Simple Spanish

YOUTUBE
Oh the power of YouTube! I love YouTube. I use it weekly, especially for studying. Understanding topics that aren't that clear to me. There is so much too YouTube! 
I decided to do a language lesson with YouTube. So I picked 6 videos.
I picked Spanish, because I could teach the kids inside the classroom, as well as have them review their learning through YouTube. I am able to speak Spanish to the kids, and we could both understand each other. And apply the learning throughout the classroom time. 
The videos I picked can be taught in class as well, as in home. Or they can use the play list on their iPads.
1. A video of the basic numbers 1-20
2. Learning about the Months.
3. The Days of the Week
4. Simple Food Items
5. The alphabet
6. Simple Greetings 

I like the option of having so many videos. They are short, with upbeat music. So they are intriguing. The kids could memorize the songs easily. 
I could use this within the class room, by having class discussions. We can watch the videos in class. 

One thing I have a problem with YouTube, is you can get off track so easily. There is so many other video suggestions, so you can get off track so easily. As well, there is so much garbage and inappropriate things you could come across. So I don't like YouTube for that fact. I wouldn't want my students to be over exposed to things, as well getting them distracted.

Jumping & Running for ANIMOTO

Image
ANIMOTO I used Animoto to show different ways for an active lessons. This was an interesting choice on my part, because the kids needs to be active to learn these things! But they could watch and interact with the images and pictures, and then move to an area to be able to do the actions. So they learn by seeing, then they can apply what they learned from what they learned at their own pace through the slideshow video. I chose a difficult topic to use for Animoto. But I think with something science related would work very well. But having the kids learn something like jumping is kind of hard. But it works well. If I were to use this in the classroom, I would do different topics. Its good and quick! Somethings I didn't like about Animoto, were the templates. Even though they are free, I didn't like how there wasn't just a plain one to be able to create your own. Including transitions. You can eventually change them. But just having a clean slate would've been ni

Different World

STORY BIRD  The use of storybird would be so helpful in the classroom, because you customize a book online. And you can have it printed out if you want, but you can display it throughout the classroom on the projector or have them each look at it on their own screen.  I like story bird, because you create the story. You create the vocab, and the story. The only thing I didn't like, was the pictures were hard to mesh with my standard that were provided. But its using creativity to make the pictures work for that specific standard. But I really liked this tool, and its easy enough where the students could make their own story. Because they could work on many things, such as using their keyboard skills and typing, and spelling, and being able to understand content and use creative writing to make a story!  UEN STANDARDS Human Development and Relationships Standard 3 The students will understand and respect self and others related to human development an

My Healthy Self! Padlet

Image
PADLET Nutrition and Fitness  I liked the tool Padlet, it is a L2 for collaborate.  I liked this tool, because it was easy for me to create. And it'll be easy for the students to use.  Its a simple tool, you find links and pictures, and create text boxes with short statements of vital information. PROS: 1. Extremely easy to navigate the tool. 2. Easy to have the students use 3. Very Interactive 4. Reaches different types of learning, with reading of texts, watching videos, seeing pictures, and its all on a computer. 5. When this could be on a worksheet, but it is done on a screen, which is better for the younger generation and how they learn. CONS: none I would use this tool, and you can have the kids make one as well! Searching their own information, and putting it into their own project. Knowing how to search things, then being able to copy and paste items! My Healthy Self! Padlet                                            UEN CORE STANDARDS The stude
