WebQuest

Tom and Jenny

Webquest is the great site for you as a student to research, read, and perform the task by yourself. If you are the one who doesn't like the teacher to wandering around, focusing on what you are doing or talking too much in front of the class. Then, you need to get yourself familiarized to Webquest!

First, go to this link: http://questgarden.com/author/members.php Then, sign up for member and enjoy tasks which are provided for you!

Webquest front page

The guided steps

For example, this task: The Stolen Laptop! this task aims at your role play with your peers. It's about theft caught where you need to make a trial in a court to have a right judgement (since the principle has screened for the defendant at school.)

Introduction

Task

After you finish introduction, then you are advised to read 'task', to know what do you need to do in order to achieve the final goal. There are steps to follow which are easy and clear. However, it is demanding to work in group and have some depth discussion. Otherwise, your group will not be able to success.

Process and questions

Not only group work, but also individual research is required. So, after you have group discussion, then you need to work on individual research to stipulate your role. It is important to know that you are not asked to find resources by yourself. There are a number of websites provided for you to look up and all answers are there! Don't panic! Also, during all process, teachers could be your facilitators. You should ask them any inquiries;)

The Judge role

The final step: the Trial

Finally, you should check the last page which tell you about the evaluation so you will not miss the points. There are some criteria to be understood so if you are not clear at any topic, please ask your teacher!

Evaluation page

Lastly, if you want to create your Webquest, you have an ability to do so! Go on each template and follow the instruction, search for some resources and set up the evaluation. I would love to see your lovely Webquest, too!

However, the trial version will not last for long time, you have to buy the copyright if you want to access in a period of time.

Anyway, make a start and see how you like it;)

Enjoy as always!

Bye!!!

Tom

Hello!

This month is the month of love....:) Yes, I'm thinking about Valentine's day! It's coming!!!

Do you have any plan or any idea for that day? What do you want to give to your beloved people as a gift?

If you have no idea, don't worry. I have a list of gift presentation for you!

Are you ready for the new review of a good presentation site? It is awesome and easy to create! You have nothing to prepare, just a bit of your idea! Like I have tons of idea to give for Jenny...(that's why today I'm here alone, I want to surprise her!)

Follow me!

This site name http://www.pimpampum.net/bubblr/ where it contains a lot of pictures from flickr (the largest site of copyright picture collections!). So you can use all pictures legally.

Search engine for the photos

Right, let's begin,

First and foremost, you will see the tag at your left hand side. insert your photo tag. And you don't need to key the user, if you don't know. Then 'GO!'.


Then, I put key the word 'valentine', and the pictures which are related to this category is shown. See? it's a lot!

Picture result

Now, it's time to have fun, when you can choose your favourite picture, drag it down to the frame, and add the bubble to explain your idea. Definitely, you don't need to write a paragraph but only a key word or phrase! (if you write too long, people will not be able to see your pic!)

The picture that I chose

Add bubble on your picture by drag it up and adjust it at any position you like.

If you want to add your frame, just click at the '+' sign. It will automatically add for you. And at the same time, if you want to delete a frame, click 'delete' (a little written text) at the bottom right corner of the frame.

Add your frame

The word is wrong but it doesn't show you the red line

However, there is a thing you need to bear in mind, this site doesn't provide you a spelling check program which means you have to be careful, just in case you don't want to publish a wrong presentation.

After you finish your process, you can publish it or share to your friend via Facebook, Blogger, and other social network sites.

Create your name and the title

Click publish to take it to Bubblr archive

Yes, when everything is done, it will show you the complete presentation. If you don't like it, or want to edit, it is easy peasy to do so. Just clicking 'recycling' you can redo things again.

The options which you can choose after finishing and saving your work

Well, this is the example of my valentine presentation. Please go and check it out!

A part of valentine presentation by me;)

http://www.pimpampum.net/bubblr/?custom=&id=35027

Last but not least, I hope you will have a good experience of presentation more or less. See, it is not difficult at all! You have a good pictures, nice words to put on, then you go! The greatest presentation for your classmates!

Enjoy and keep doing a good presentation!

Tom

p.s. don't tell Jenny what did I say about the surprise;)

Hello! from Tom and Jenny again;)

 

Tom and Jenny

Today, we've got a new website for learning vocabulary for you. This website is http://www.languageguide.org/

This site allows you to choose the vocabulary field that you want to learn. First, choose your mother language. But we recommend you to choose English-English to fully practice your English! It is very easy, don't be afraid of English!

Next, suppose that we want to learn vegetable vocabulary, then click on vegetable. The next page will be shown;

The audio will pronounce the words when you place on the picture. Therefore, you can listen and see the spelling at the same time.

Finish the word study, then you can test yourself by selecting the quiz types at the left corner;




You can either choose the options or the difficulty.




To foster your learning, you can either practice by yourself at home. Choose the interesting category and might jot down the words you like. It's easy!


For learning in classroom, teacher may let you pair with your friends and have a vocabulary competition! You may required to remember the words in a very short time and write down on the paper as much as you can (without the computer screen!).



However, according to the sensitive audio player, you might find it is too quick pronouncing words. Therefore, you need to be slow to place the arrow down on the picture.

Overall, it is a good site to build up vocabulary with the correct pronunciation ;)

Go and have fun!
