Canvas for class

kahoot for class

Kahoot is good for my students to concentrate for lesson and check their achievement with joy.

I make some quizzes about last lesson and they can check their answers  immediately with colorful image from the kahoo games. 

Especially, my students liked the colors and simple mode. It helped them feel cheerful and have positive, aggressive attitudes.

But some students did't have cell phones they couldn't enjoy it. 

There is another weakness that I can make only four-choice quizzes. It was too simple, easy for the upper grade of elementary school. 

I hope that I can make quizzes with various types - ordering, matching and so on.... 

Band for class

I used Band program with a cell phone to communicate with my students.
I upload the Quzlet words for today's lesson, my student practice words with it.
Also, they ask some questions about the lesson through the Band.

I can post pictures, videos easily and take some polls. We can group talk as well as man to man talk.

Corpus in class

My students have some problems with usages of preposition. I decided to use the corpus site to solve this. There is so much information but it prevents elementary students from searching the data as well as reading it.

The font doesn't have any visual attraction for my elementary students. If they enter that site for searching and studying, they will click the button X without hesitatingly...

So, I have to make corpus material for my students, it's my new assignment. ^^

Schoology for my class (best CALL 3)

I have looked for ways to manage my students - LMS - but it's too expensive program and then I gave up searching it. But here is a free sites for LMS, Schoology! - In fact, it's not a traditional LMS, anyway it's a good tool for me.

I wanted my students to study English by themselves at home. So, I gave them some homework but it wasn't work. Because they copied their friends answers. I had a problem to know how to manage my students learning.

Schoology can make us communicate and create various materials for my class. Although I should spend more time to manage my students, but it is meaningful work.

Padlet for my class (best CALL 2)

Padlet is a good board maker for my class. I can create lessen resources easily. I don't need to make resources- text, video, picture- separately, it can made each resource collaboratively on just one board!

It's a really good tool~

Quizlet for my class (my best CALL)

I have used Quizlet a lot for my class and my students memorize the words through it. Especially they are satisfied with what they can listen the pronunciation of the words.

Quizlet helps my students know the meaning of the words quickly and easily with fun.

My students should take a test of 50 words every time, they have a trouble to memorize so much words for one day but the pressure of preparing 50 words test is decreasing after using the Quizlet.
