Picture dictation

What I like about Vocaroo is that you don´t have to sign up to record your audio. It´s quick and easy - just record it, grab the code and post it on your blog or send it by email.

In this activity you ask students to take a sheet of paper and lay it lengthways. Students have to draw what they hear. For that students have to have notion of the spatial terms . You can record yourself and send this activity to your students for homework. Back in class, they can hear the dictation again, work in pairs to compare drawings and answer the question from the dictation. Then teacher shows students the picture below.

Slideshow: London - " When a man is tired of London, he´s tired of life".

I´ve created this slideshow to be used as a warmer to introduce touristic places in London. Instead of just showing the pictures, you can give the students the possibility to guess the place before the picture appears completely.

What is it for?

This is a blog where I´ll  share my findings on how to integrate technology to our classes using different webtools. Quite often we find ourselves struggling to keep our students involved and we forget that it´s possible to enhance learning through technology and thus create engaged learners. All we need to do is to "look ahead and view the road" right in front of our eyes! Let´s explore it! 

"They lowered their heads to pull the cart, instead of looking ahead to view the road."  (Chinese proverb)
