Stephen Hawking

 

I had been working all afternoon yesterday on this, since last week the teachers had asked me for ideas on how to use ICT in the class. So I figured maybe I could use genially to teach the past tense. My initial idea was to prepare the template, using the book Little People Big dreams, Stephen Hawking and prepare two slides for each team. They would need to identify the verbs, then turn it to the past tense. That didnt happen because it turned out more complicated than I had imagined. The first class honestly was kind of a disaster. Anyway, we did end up using vocaroo for the recording and pronunciation practice. 

After first period, I had to revise and do it all again. Initially i did everything on genially but had a problem because i thought i could easily add audio to genially, no. You have to have a paid account, or do it in a more roundabout way. Then I did it on google slides. Using https://luvvoice.com/ i recorded the text, and redid the slides on google slides. In class, we realised its not possible to do it because of restrictions. Nobody could acess my google presentation. 

So for thethird time i had to redo it again. I went back to the original genially, and just added a recording from luvvoice, using 2 computers. I had to record everything in the hallway. Such hard work i put in it. It was almost frustrating. Anyway, in the succeeding classes, it went out okay so I am not complaining. In the latest one i made, i added buttons that made the past form of the verb appear. then the students could practice listening by clicking on the play button.
