Hello. In this blog entry, Deysi and I are going to present different ways on how we can use videos, stories, and different internet sources. In this project, we have made used of a website to prepare quizzes, so the idea is to come up with different internet tools, so students can practice their understanding of English.
This first quiz is addresed to children. This reading is about a lady who swallowed many animals. She followed a chain in order to catch the first animal she swallowed.

In this quiz, you will have 12 questions. Each of them have three options, so click on the one that best matches each request.
SECOND QUIZ
This second quiz is based on a musical video in which teenager students are going to put into practice their visual and memory skills since they need to be pretty good observers to answer correctly all quiz´s questions.
The video is about a guy who is in love with a girl that he hasn´t met yet.
This is the musical video´s link, We hope you enjoy it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KYEev_3L6k&feature=related
Right after watching the video three times, go to the quiz´s link in which you are going to find a multiple option quiz that only has 12 questions and 3 options. Please click on the best option for each statement.

THE LAST QUIZ is for adults. They have to see a video from youtube. The video is about global warning and some other aspects related to it, so after watching the video (link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJAbATJCugs), you have to go this link
and take the quiz which has 12 questions with three options each; be sure to click on the one that best matches each request.
CONCLUSION: we think that as society is changing day by day, and the use of technology is becoming a need for teachers and for students as well, these tools we have used to prepare our quizzes are very nice because students are in touch with different internet tools that some of them might be familiar with, so that it will be even easier for them to use.
At the very beginning, we felt kind of weird because we are not accustomed to use these tools, but since we got involveld with them, they were easy to use.
Something that might be considered as a disadvantage is that when we are not accustomed to use these tools, they seem to be time-consuming.
I admire your punctuality and the way you work with the blog. I want to thank you because we took advantage of your post as an example to follow when making ours. You see, perfection is always remaining.

ReplyDeleteI really like your quizzes guys and specially the reading for children because it also contains the pictures for children to have a better idea of what the story is about. The video is also very nice because students like that kind of music as it deals with something related to love. The third video is very nice because it make us to be aware of what we are doing with our planet. I really like the way you hae formulated the questions. Perfection remains for good
