Tired of grading "boring" papers?
Trying to incorporate more technology into your daily routine? --pun intended =D
Look no further than storyboardthat.com!
Earlier this trimester I was introduced to this wonderful tool by some of my students. They were working on telling a story and were able to earn some extra credit by creating some illustrations. Since not many of us are Picasso, some used the help of this tool. Ever since, I have been using often.
It is a very user friendly app, and the free version is pretty awesome. I may be purchasing the teaching one next year since I will be implementing it more and more!
For the particular activity that I am sharing with you today, students were learning about reflexive verbs and daily routines. After creating a calendar and writing out their routine they took to the app to make their illustrations. When they presented it to the class, it was a lot more fun to hear their stories alongside their personalized renditions!
For a different level class learning the classroom vocabulary along with location words, I was able to use this tool to create my own custom made scenarios! I made a few and posted them around the room. Students were able to walk the classroom and jot down some different descriptions about the items they saw in each picture! Works wonders for vocab activities.
As you can see, the sky is the limit with this app!!!
Are you interested in trying it? I would love to hear how you used it in YOUR classroom!
Share your ideas in the comments and enjoy creating some incredible art!
Feliz martes,
Andrea
Take a look inside my classroom, where I aim to engage, motivate, inspire and contextualize language learning. My goal is to have students realize, with my help, how beneficial bilingualism is in our growing society. I look forward to sharing many of our Spanish activities with everyone who visits. If you would like more information about any activity do not hesitate to contact me via the comments or by the Contact tab.
