My You Tube Page


Here's what's on my You Tube Page:

You Tube Playlist

A series of videos for phrasal verb practice

Micro poll

A survey to identify English-language learning preferences. Suitable as a first lesson warmer.http://micropoll.com/t/KFlvVZVTfg

Padlet

A web quest about Britain

Googleslides

Blendspace

A series of activities used in class and for homework. I used this with an Entry 2 class of teens.
The activity encouraged participation because learners were paired up and could help/motivate each other. The activities supported differentiated learning by allowing the strongest and weakest learners to work at their own pace without feeling bored or left out. One of the issues that came up in class was that some learners were more adept at using technology than others, so initial teacher support was required to help students access the tasks. These activities would not be suitable for students with physical disabilities, as the classroom where they were carried out did not have access devices.
