There it is! I don’t think you need any further explanation for what Juxio is. I can only add that it is great fun and that actions speak louder than words. Have a look at these two posters I’ve made for my classrooms and then just explore the website. I only hope my students , after reading this post, will be thrilled about decorating the walls of the classroom with their own posters (in English, of course)
With Kizoa you can store photos, edit them, and create amazing slideshows and it’s free! You can also touch up your photos in the editing workshop by adding frames, effects. You can resize or rotate your photos.You can easily create flash shows and assign transitions, animations, text and music to your slideshow. You can send your show by email, post it in facebook or your website ,add it to your blog and create a DVD but first you need to create an account and upload your photos.
My elementary students are now working with feelings and this is the slideshow I’ve made for them. I suggest you use it to revise or to teach by pausing the slideshow before the word expressing the feeling is shown.
Never have I seen so many people around me trying to lose some 
weight . Spring must be the season when we realize there is no way we will be able to hide our love handles (excess fat around the hips and buttocks, sometimes also called saddle bags– I imagine they are called this way when they are big and ugly) .
Anyway, when it is not summertime and you’re not looking your best, you can always use this funny tool to make you look thinner, even though you haven’t bothered to go on a diet to lose a bit of weight or go to the gym to sweat off your excess of baggage in the treadmill.
The tool I was telling you about is called slimpic.com and with only a few clicks, you can make yourself or someone in your pictures gain or lose weight (the point here is losing weight, we don’t need to go to the Internet searching for tools to make us look uglier, do we?).
Me, before and with 10kgs less! if only it were so easy!
In my neverending quest to integrate technology in my classes I have stumbled upon this little tool , Swayable, which is mainly intended to create surveys with the added feature of allowing you to upload an image from your computer or use one from the web which is, in my humble opinion, its best feature as it heightens its potential in the classroom.
I have been thinking it could be very useful when explaining comparatives or when asking students to write about the advantages or disadvantages of a certain issue.
Once published you can embed it in your blog and the students can write in the form of comments (you have to click just below the picture where it says “Click to Sway) to your Swayable.
The first example is for students to practise the comparative and the second for them to practise writing about the advantages and disadvantages of, in this case, working and studying.
And then it follows a little tutorial to help you ceate your own Swayable
Time flies , doesn’t it? It’s already May and the end of the course is getting closer. Students and teachers are beginning to feel the pressure of time running out when we still have so many things to teach or learn.
So, to give my students a break I intend to take them to the computer room to do some listening on the Royal Wedding but…. I don’t want them to just go to youtube and search for clips at random. And this is where this little tool comes handy.
It is called Embedr and it allows you to create your own playlist of videos and then embed them in your website or blog. This way, you won’t have to worry about students getting the wrong videos.
