Day 2

After  practising Today'sMeet, we were given the task to create Google Slides about our country; while doing so, we learnt how to use Google Images.

I personally discovered TOOLS which is a way to filter the images (colour, size, type of drawing...) and , very important!!! the copy-right matter. Let's encourage our students  to use "reusable pictures/videos" (labels).

Next we concentrated on our Blog, precisely on
- extra pages;
- labels;
- date stamping.
Next, YouTube Channel!
What can we do with it?
1-Subscribe to channels we are interested in.
2- Create playlists (collections of videos, from different channels, all about the same topic).
3- Add a video to the "watch later list' on the left of the screen
4- Upload our own videos .
Let' s watch Russell's video about it and he will make it clear.

Teaching Tips

YouTube offers a great variety of opportunity to practice the 4 language skills: from listening to songs and filling in blanks, to listening comprehension (songs, speeches, videos, advertisements, interviews…) and each of them can be followed by discussion in class and probably written tasks as home assignments.


A blog can be a really useful for teachers as we can upload our own videos and documents, we can insert links to newspaper articles, video interviews... ; we can also use it as a form of a diary registering the different class activities (for absent students). The blog can be shared with the students who can contribute to it.
