Genially is a very interesting resource when thinking not only in presentations, but in gamification of activities. It is very visual and has an incredible amount of different templates that can help you attract the attention and motivate students. Here you can see how we can implement a listening activity that students can do autonomously. Genially has a free account with limited functions, but if you want to make use of all its characteristics you have to pay a susbcription. Genially have different prices depending on what you need, and it is not particularly expensive. The activity that I have designed, has been made with the free account, so it is up to you if you want to choose any of their subscription plans.

Listening activity - Directions 

With this activity we want to work directions. Specifically, it has been conceived to introduce how to give directions in English. The group for which it has been designed is 4th grade of primary school. It is a very visual and motivating activity that through gamification allows the teacher to work specific contents.

I hope that this activity inspires you.

Thank you for visiting and see you in the next entry.

Bye.

    Hello José Ramón,
    I really like your listening activity, I have to say that, for me, Genially is one of the best App I've ever used..It has got plenty of possibilities, templates... But the activity about the directions I think is vert accurate. In my opnion, the directions could be a bit tough, but in this way are very interactive!
    Congratulations for your work!

Reading activity with Mentimeter

    Mentimeter is a very useful tool that we can use for designing activities. It has lots of templates and types of activities and is relatively easy to work with. Of course, to have full access to all the templates and to make presentations with unlimited slides and activities you need to pay a subscription plan, but they have different plans depending on your needs. In this case, I have designed a reading activity in which I want to work the content "Ancient Egypt" in a class of 6th grade of primary school. A fundamental characteristic of this activity is that it cannot be implemented as homework, so you can only use it in class. I planned it as a presentation and with a small number of activities because I am using the free account with limited features. This can be a handicap, but you can use some features of the free account to interact with students which are the reactions. In this presentation, the true or false questions are going to be answered with the reactions,...

  Flipgrid is a tool that has some years now since it was implemented, but with the latest updates has integrated several characteristics that make it a top-notch resource. It is very interesting how it can be used to upload videos of students for presentations, expositions, and exchanges between peers. The activity that we have developed is oriented to oral production. The topics worked is "food" and "what I like". It has been designed for 5th grade of primary school. The task consists of visualizing a YouTube video about food from different countries and then, students have to upload a video through the same platform explaining the type of food that they like, why they like it and where did they eat it. I think that Flipgrid is a very useful tool that can help us in developing more motivating and attractive activities. You can access to the activity if you login to the platform in the embed link at the bottom of this entry or you can just copy the link to the acti...
