In his workshop, Nik Peachey takes us to look together at some web and mobile applications and establish criteria by which we can evaluate them to ensure we use tools that will lead to enhanced language learning.
Onestopenglish has a great collection of articles and video recorded sessions about Tech Tools for Teachers by Nik Peachey.
He asked the audience to share their favourite apps and tools by using Todaysmeet. Some of the answers were: (the answers will stay on this site for a week)
Google docs, FB, Voicethread, Photobable, Sounds apps, Skype, Grindr, Blurp, Storywheel – iOs app, Screencastomatic, Jing, Audioboo, Voxopop, Padlet, Voki, Storybird,
When Nik started teaching there were basically two types of websites:
- Generic: Like BBC, you can have access but you have to create your material for your teaching
- Dedicated: You you can go and there’s material for teachers to use
ELT Dedicated Tools
Generic Tools and Apps
Attendees participated intensively sharing their tools and Apps using http://todaysmeet.com/NikPeachey but I guess this link will be available for a short time only. The following tools are the one Nik Peachey mentioned
Keek: Video Journal app
Blipfoto: Daily Photo Journal
Mailvu.com: Video recorded messages
Tellagami: To create animated characters
Draw.io: To create infographics
Beta.mural.ly: A creative project space
Finally Nik Peachey presented his own Criteria for making correct decisions about Tools and Apps
