Blog of the month award for May 2019
Our featured blog of the month award for May 2019 goes to Cristina Cabal and her post, 'Fixing Fossilized Grammar and Spelling Errors in an Engaging Effective Way'. Do your students repeat the same errors over and over again? Don’t despair! Here’s a fun activity from Cristina Cabal which aims to get rid of them once and for all. Our shortlisted posts this month include a video-based lesson activity and using Google Assistant in the ELT classroom.
Badge builders for Kids
Our stylish badge builders are designed to motivate the kids in your class to do their best in the classroom and earn badges for different skills. Each of your students can choose a blank ‘badge builder’ from one of our four great designs. On each design there is space for ten badges. You can award your students ‘badges’ for good work in different categories at the end of a class or activity. Beneath each badge is a space for the student to write a short sentence to explain what the badge was awarded for. Find badge builders for teens too here.
Powtoon: introducing cartoon videos in the classroom
Your students will enjoy producing their own cartoon videos, with the possibility of adding their own voice or some music. They will adore this free digital tool. Find out more about Powtoon, how to use it, ideas for the classroom and some examples in this week's featured blog post by Ingrid Mosquera.
Hands tied or hands-free? Using constraints creatively in teacher development
Can teachers find freedom in constraint? This presentation by Rose Aylett explores how the innovative limitations of time, language and resources, in both pre-service and in-service teacher education, can reduce stress, combat decision fatigue and promote creative thinking. Discover how placing constraints upon lesson planning and delivery can empower teachers to be able to do much more with much less. Watch a recording.
