VLE Padlet

VLE Padlet

From the very beginning of the present ICT (Information and Communication Technology) course, as soon as Gladys Baya, our teacher, had asked all the students in the class what VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) we would have liked to work with, all of us agreed on Padlet. Curiously, most of us did not even know that this tool was available.

In my opinion, Padlet is one of the most appropriate VLE to be utilized in class whenever teaching anything. As teachers of English, it is pretty useful since it enables us to keep in touch with our students via a safe mean of communication and to exchange information among them. Besides, their parents and/or the school heads can also have access to it so as to be able to see their kids' performance and productions, as well as to follow their progress whenever they want.

What's more, it is a highly motivating VLE because one can design it by choosing a catchy mosaic as well as shiny and attractive colours to attract the students' attention.

To sum it up, I consider Padlet to be a wonderful VLE and tool to adopt for my classes. Have a go and browse my Padlet!!!

Learning ICT

What I knew, what I've learnt 

and 

what I'd like to learn next

                 Last year, I started attending the ICT course and I learnt how to use some interseting and pretty useful digital resources and websites such as LMS platforms, e. g. Moodle, Padlet, among other websites, for example, the British Council one, and how to record audios and make screenshots of the computer screen.

                    Since the course started this year, I've been learning how to manage Padlet and make the most of it. I like it very much because I find it quite friendly as well as attractive for students. Besides, as regards Printables and Interactive Tasks I've got to know that one can find a great variety of websites in order to create highly motivated resources (puzzles, wordsearches, crosswords, flashcards, etc.) which are quite appropriate for students, perfectly graded according to their age, level and needs. The one that I like best is Classtools.net. On that site, Fakebook is available. It is a very appealing tool where students can create a fake profile pretending to be a historical celebrity, such as Anne Frank. In my opinion, it is highly recommended since that is something students are very familiar with.

                In the end, I'd like to state that I'd like to learn and face more challenges and discover new digital and interactive resources and tools in order to make classes more motivating and interseting for my students.

Thanks for all!!!
