Chat: Guiomar Mancho chat

Class Photo:

ALL London organises webinars for the MFL community and this webinar is open to all MFL teachers.  We hope that you will like us and want to join!

In this session we will look at how to combine different apps to achieve the result you want. It is often the case that one single app does not allow you to do everything you have envisioned, but by combining them you can fully develop any idea. Guiomar’s was a Cluedo game students could create and play remotely. She will walk through some of the apps she used to develop it: Canva, Book Creator, Google Slides and Nearpod.

Giuomar writes: I have been working as a teacher for over 15 years mostly as a language teacher (ESL, Spanish and Catalan) but due to my keen interest in technology and education I was in charge of developing the 1:1 device policy at my previous school in Spain. I currently work at Halcyon London International School as a Language B Spanish teacher for MYP and Spanish A in DP. My Twitter handle is @GuiomarMR

01:26:34 ALL London: That’s interestiong that they’d like a monkey.. makes me think of my French lessons in the 70s … the family had a monkey
01:26:50 Joe Dale: Book Creator is amazing
01:27:14 Joe Dale: https://app.bookcreator.com/sign-in/teacher
01:27:43 Joe Dale: You can make 40 books for free
01:28:03 Uxía Iglesias Fuertes: Amazing! Thank you
01:28:16 ALL London: I see why this sesson is called appsmashing!
01:28:20 Christina Balsom: I might use this to get my daughter to write something,
01:28:26 Joe Dale: Love it!

01:34:27 alisonbibby: That’s so cool!
01:34:28 ALL London: Wow!
01:34:29 Joe Dale: This is one of my favourite Book Creator tips
01:34:31 Chiara: WOW!!!!!!!!
01:34:46 bella bennett: Brilliant
01:34:58 Joe Dale: You can make talking worksheets / vocab sheets using this method
01:35:06 Florence Barats: How many students do you have working on one book?
01:35:27 Chiara: I someties use thinglink for vaocab sheets
01:35:30 Joe Dale: They can only work on their own book in the free version
01:36:18 Uxía Iglesias Fuertes: What? That’s an amazing accent! I love it!
01:36:21 Paula Mourelle: I love this! Thank you!
01:36:40 David Hispano Vilaseca: Amazing work!!!
01:36:50 Chiara: T H A N K Y O U
01:37:40 Joe Dale: wizer.me
01:38:22 Chiara: I also love appsmashing a lot, but I’m afraid students can get confused
01:38:53 Joe Dale: Using a core set of tools is the key I think
01:39:09 Florence Barats: Q How do you go about it all if your school does use any platform of any kind?
01:39:49 Joe Dale: Can you clarify what you mean Florence?
01:40:17 ALL London: did you mean ‘doesn’t’ Florence?
01:40:19 Florence Barats: Well we do not use teams, or google slide, I am way behing in my IT skills I feel!
01:40:55 Florence Barats: Sorry to show my complete ignorance!
01:41:00 Chiara: …and… some children are not confident with apps… Someone is more keen on hand drawing for example
01:41:09 Valérie Smith: you are not the only one:)
01:41:19 Joe Dale: Do you all have Google or Microsoft accounts?
01:41:24 Florence Barats: Yes sorry I meant does not
01:41:36 ALL London: I think we are all learnign at the moemnt .. and so are school management teams
01:41:58 Florence Barats: I don’t but the school has started office 365 again as some our students cannot access anything…
01:42:16 Joe Dale: You can sign up to many accounts with your school email which ever service you use
01:42:20 kimg: Microsoft for us and still learning
01:42:30 ALL London: normally you have about a year to lead into adopting something.. now it’s more like 3 weeks!
01:42:48 Florence Barats: Don’t I know!
01:42:55 ALL London: Florence – Office 365 has access to lots of things similart o google
01:42:57 Joe Dale: OK, so you will be able to sign in with your MS account to many of these tools
01:43:18 Florence Barats: OK, holiday hmk then!
01:43:53 ALL London: Florence – we have an Office 365 Facebook group .. and there is a google FB group
01:44:23 Negin Shabestari: How one persuade the school to use all the tools available in office 365?
01:44:53 ALL London: https://www.facebook.com/groups/mflofficetips/
01:45:22 Ceci Shorrock: Yes, it’s really good to keep all the activities in one place, otherwise it can be time consuming or at times frustrating for certain kids.
01:45:31 Negin Shabestari: Greta, thanks
01:45:35 Chiara: ALso important to know whatstudents see
01:45:43 Florence Barats: Thank you so much!

01:48:26 Fatima Khaled: hi everyone
01:49:07 Joe Dale: In Nearpod slides
01:49:31 Chiara: Thanks Joe
01:51:41 Joe Dale: Drawing is a premium feature I think
01:53:37 Uxía Iglesias Fuertes: It’s great to let us see what students would see!
01:53:57 Silvia Oliveras: it is indeed!
01:54:42 Chiara: I’d like to be at home with them to see how they work with this distance learning 🙂
01:55:39 Nur Hadijah S.: great
01:56:00 Silvia Oliveras: I have my own child, I have enough with that, but understand what you mean… if you could see them wondering and guessing
01:56:18 Christina Balsom: Love that they have to move on with you. Some of mine seem to take double the time I expect them to use.
01:57:45 Uxía Iglesias Fuertes: Q: so is nearpodd an app to centralise all of the apps?
01:57:53 Joe Dale: Yes
