Sample No. 7: Glogster

I particularly enjoyed Glogster.com very much. A Glog is a sort of multimedia online poster. There you can include images provided by Glogster as much as your own, music, videos and more. Results can be lovely, funny, interesting, for educational purposes or just for fun.

I created a Glog inspired in a song a really like. You can read the lyrics and listen to it in the Glog:

Sample No. 6: Listen and Write

Listen and Write is a very interesting website. I found it a bit difficult to get used to, but once you understand how to manipulate the audio, it is very simple to get your audio ready for the activities. Once you have the audio and the transcription edited, you can choose between a couple of activities to do with the audio.

Sample No. 5: Proffesor Garfield Comics Lab

Comic Lab is a website to make a short comic using characters from the cartoon "Garfield". It is very easy to use it and you can find a variety of images for each character, a number of backgruonds and different kinds of speech bubles.





Once you finish your work, you can save it in different format. It will look like this:

Sample No. 2: ESL video.com

This is another tool related to videos. http://eslvideo.com is a website to create activities with videos. You can desing the type of Quiz you are going to use for the activity and then organize it. I recommend this site because of how comfortable it is to work with. Besides, you don't even need to upload your own videos. You can use youtube videos!

This is an interesting tool to have in mind.

Sample No. 1: Animoto

This website is called "Animoto"(http://animoto.com/). It is a very useful tool when it comes to arranging a video. You can use images, video clips, audio, material uploaded by you (such as your favourite song). I chose it becuase it is easy to use and results look great!

In this example, you will find a short video consisting of pictures about a camping day. You will notice that you can also add text to your videos.
