StoryJumper

   

  In another opportunity I mentioned a website to illustrate your stories and incentive the creativity. This time, I am going to tell you about a similar one.



   
Click the link!

   This website allows you create your story, apply the format you want and also upload your own images. Think about it! There are a lot of ideas you can implement with this tool.

Ask your students to create a memories book where they can share their experiences, their photos, vacations…

Telling what they did last vacations could be a good idea to help them with the past tense.

If the topic is related to food, ask them to create or show a recipe using images to explain the process, step by step.


As teachers we need to be innovative. Try this tool! They are going to love it!

Create your surveys!


 
There is a tool that you can use to create or design your surveys and it is not that complicated as you can think. For us, sometimes, it is frustrating just the idea of designing a survey, but more than create it… analyze it! Defining results and percentages could be hard. This is because maybe we are not math experts.

    Well, that is my case…

    If that is also your case… let’s check google drive. This is a new tool, easy to use and all what you need is your gmail account. This app collects the answers and analyses them to give you the results, the percentages and it itself shows you the graphics of those results.

Try it! You are going to like it!
