Initial results found most students able to converse longer, showing increased confidence in speaking the target language.
The document discusses using Edmodo and podcast projects to improve students' oral fluency and production in the language classroom. It provides details on how to structure podcast assignments, have students provide peer feedback, and conduct final oral assessments, with the goal of helping students gradually improve their oral communication skills through repeated practice and feedback. Assessment data from semester 1 showed most students were able to converse for longer periods of time by the end, demonstrating the approach helped develop their oral abilities.

A place for students to
share their documents
in order to collaborate
together.
Peer editing so that
teacher can go and
restore previous

6. Dropbox
• When projects are completed, have students
send them to the class Dropbox account.
• This will avoid LOTS of your time being spent
trying to track down projects.
• A virtual space for you to keep all of the
projects that you would want to keep and
share over the years.
• Many apps (like Book Creator) have a share to
Dropbox link

8. Book Creator
• Have students publish their own
books!
• Instead of your typical writing
assignment, have students use
the same criteria but complete
their work by creating an e-pub
book that swipes!
• Example:
• Les aventures de Mei-Ling by
Francis A and Hannah K
(students can even record
themselves reading their stories)
(FRAL 10, 2012)

9. Comic Life
• Students can create their own
comic strips using the app.
• Hint: Have students finish it off
by using "Screen capture" and
saving the images into Photos.
Then copy and paste them into
Book Creator to make their
comics into an e-pub book.
• Example:
• One Direction Visitent la France
by Kiana R and Daman
(FSL 8, 2012)

10. www.pixton.com/

•Pixton is a great website for
students to use to create
online comics. They can
change their character's
expressions and their gestures.
•I would suggest doing the
same and "Screen capture"
the pages and paste them into
Book Creator.
•Example:
•Mi amigo de Canada by Adam
W and Nitesh D
(Spanish 9, 2012)

11. • Create films using their dialogues and
Puppet Pals HD scripts
Director's Cut • Students must create/find characters
which represent their respectful
personalities
• Students must include scenery which
represents the content of their
dialogue/stories.
• Have students create a plan before
using Puppet Pals (who are their
characters, what are their
physical/personality traits, how many
backgrounds will they need and what
are their details)
• WHY DIRECTOR's CUT?
• Students can't find their own
characters in the free version,

limited space
12. Students use Puppet Pals to create their own
characters and backgrounds for their Book Creator
books
(integration of two apps to make their final project
better)

13. •In order for Puppet Pals to become
a movie, all "Saved Shows" need to
iMovie be exported into Photos and then
saved in order in iMovie.
•iMovie is a great tool for making
videos of:
•Students showing how they have
learned a lesson
•Students becoming teachers by
explaining concepts their own way
•Recording and presenting skits or
music videos of their own
songs/raps
•Share movies to Camera Roll,
iTunes or class private YouTube
13 account.
14. Doodle Buddy
• Doodle Buddy is a great tool for
playing Pictionary in class,
students can draw directly onto
the iPad so that other groups
can guess
• Any words or quotes that need
to go into iMovie should be
created in Doodle Buddy and
then added to Photos
• A great tool for creating any
doodles or drawings that
students want to add to their
stories

15. Recording Apps
•The Voice Memos app is
an easy way to add your
recordings to iTunes
Voice Memos are an integral part of my
podcast project in the language
classroom. See my blog to understand
how.
•Dragon Dictation helps
students who have
difficulty writing and
dictates what they want to
express on paper

mistakes though, a Read from page 13 of "Inquiring Minds

16. Review: Using •Recently, in order to review for a unit test on Le
Petit Prince, I had students work on a theme,
Book Creator for character or scene in Book Creator (they were pre-
loaded onto the iPads, students did not know
Carousel Activity what they got until they started)
This project:
•Ensured that students discussed the elements of
the book as a group, helping each other out.
•Made students think about themes and develop
their answers together.
•Made students look for quotes and explain them in
their own words.
•Ask a question that was to be answered by
another group about the topic.
•Each group had to complete two topics and
continue from another group, by answering the
question asked.
•Examples: Le Petit Prince and Le thème de la
16 vanité et la beauté
17. Digital Portfolio:
Book
Creator/Show Me
•Have students create a digital
portfolio for them to explain what
they are proud of, what they
have learned, what they need to
improve on and establish goals.
•Great for showing at Parent-
Teacher conferences, students
can explain in their own words.
•Challenging for some to get
away from "I got a perfect mark,
that's why I am proud" rather
than explain the learning behind
getting that perfect mark.
•Example: Tesla K
