Dear English Australia members,
We hope this finds you well!
Here’s the August edition of our The Consultants-E News.
1. Tool of the Month – Fotobabble
2. New videos – Webinars
3. September - November 2012 online courses update
1. Tool of the month: Fotobabble
What is it?
Fotobabble allows you to add narration to a photograph. You can then share it, embed it in a wiki or blog, or view it on the web.
How can you use it?
1. Ask your students to make a minute-long presentation about a chosen picture.
2. Get students to create vocabulary cards with audio definitions of the chosen word added to the picture.
Check out this Tool of the Month page for more on Fotobabble and how to use it in the classroom. And remember that we have lots of other free tools you can learn to use here!
2. New videos – Webinars
We asked video experts from all over the world to give us some advice about running video-conferencing sessions with students (or other teachers). The result is two short videos, which you'll find on our YouTube channel here:
• Webinars – Technology tips: http://youtu.be/hebbpe6MVLw
• Webinars – Tips for engaging your audience: http://youtu.be/UcqoZRZOlDw
Get a copy of Nicky's new e-book 'Webinars: A Cookbook for Educators' from The Round website: http://the-round.com/resource/webinars-a-cookbook-for-educators/
