My Certificate

Here is the my certificate from Udemy.


Quizlet

Quizlet.com is a free website which enables teachers and students to create digital flash cards. That’s not where the magic stops, however. Quizlet can automatically generate interactive games and even tests of the material you enter into it. Five or ten minutes of typing (or pasting!) up front can yield literally hours’ worth of automatically-assessed activities inside and outside of the classroom, on computers, smartphones, tablets, and even pencil-and-paper printed exercises.

I've prepared a quiz for my 2nd grade students to learn colours in English. It's a very useful app to attract students', especially elementary students, attention and make them focus on the lesson. 

Here you can have a look at my quiz!

Nearpod

Nearpod is a student engagement platform that can be used to amazing effect in the classroom. The concept is simple. A teacher can create presentations that can contain Quiz’s, Polls, Videos, Images, Drawing-Boards, Web Content and so on. They can also access over 7K k-12 standards-aligned lessons. The children can access a teacher’s presentation through a code. The teacher can move the class through the presentation and let them interact with the media as they go. They can also opt for student-paced, where the student controls the flow of the lesson.



I have prepared an online presentation via Nearpod for ELT students about Approaches in ELT. Below you can see it.

Storybird



Storybird is a language arts tool. We use illustrations to inspire Members to write stories, and encourage ongoing writing practice with badges and other rewards.

It's easy to imagine using Storybird as a free-write station, to prompt various writing tasks, or as a platform for peer workshopping. With a bit of creativity, storytelling can also be linked to a variety of school subjects, including history, science, and even math.

I've prepared a comics with Storybird. Here you can have a look at it, but you need to sign up the site. If you like you can also create your own. Click here!


Voki

Voki is a good tool which can be used in education, and it is fun to share information between students, parents, teachers and principal with. Voki is a tool which can be used to share a message using an animated avatar that talks. It can be created using your own voice recorded using multiple devices. You can design the avatar’s appearance, add voice, and can get an embed code to pop it into any website or powerpoint. The avatar moves and speaks based on what the caller says. 

Voki can provide a fun way to share information with parents and one can also capture anyone’s message using the recorder of a smartphone.


  • Students use Voki to listen to their writing aloud.
  • Students can create Vokis to show what they know.
  • For a student to learn English as a second language vocal practice of the language is important.
  • Students are not comfortable pronouncing the foreign words many times during the lectures. Voki allows them to speak into their phones privately and the listen to the avatar presenting it to them.
Here I created an avatar using Voki. If you wish, you can create an avatar. Click here!

Canva

Canva is a graphic-design tool website, founded in 2012. It uses a drag-and-drop format and provides access to over a million photographs, graphics, and fonts. It is used by non-designers as well as professionals. The tools can be used for both web and print media design and graphics.

Also, Canva allows all members of the classroom community – students and teachers – to create professional, eye-catching graphics that enhance any lesson plan or project. 

I've prepared an infographic using Canva to help my students to improve their writing skills. Below you can see it.
