EDPUZZLE AND VIDEOS FOR YOUR CLIL UNITS

-
It's already Wednesday and I would like to share with you this wonderful tool I have used during the lockdown and that I am going to use it  more next year for sure.



Edpuzzle lets you edit interactive videos that they stop at the right place you have added a question or a note. Isn't it amazing? And it also records your students progress 😊


The first step is to register. Once you are signed up, you will have to choose your school and you may find out that other teachers of your school are already using Edpuzzle. If their videos are public, you will be able to see the videos they have edited.

This app allows you to upload a video from one of the platforms they suggest (Edpuzzle, Khan Academy, National Geographic, ...) or you can upload a video you already have.

The next step is to edit the video. As I said before, you can different types of questions: open-ended, multiple choice, notes... You can also cut out your video and make it shorter. Once your video is ready, it's time to share it with your students.




And you may wonder: "How do I share it with my students"? You can create a class or you can import a class from Google Classroom and assign the task. You can also assign a due date if you want.  And ... You can also programme the date and time you want to assign the task.


Another advantage I have discoverd these days is that you can flipped your classroom. That is the one of my aims for next school year. I teach Science in English and sometimes we can spend time watching videos. My idea is to assign the videos via Google Classroom and then spend 5-10 minutes to solve doubts. Then we will be able to do more experiments and to discuss the discussions at the end of the class.

Are you going to use Edpuzzle? If so, you can sign up using my referral code: 



If you want to use this app, but you need some help, contact me and it will be a pleasure to share a tutorial with you.

I will be glad to hear how you use Edpuzzle with your students.

  GOOD AFTERNOON! 💕 Well... or good evening or good morning, depending on when you are reading this post 😊 In this blog, I have already dealt with the following principles of CLIL: ☑ The 4 Cs ☑ Scaffolding ☑ Bloom's Taxonomy Today's post is about " The 3 As tool in CLIL ". Are you ready? 😉 The 3 As tool is used for planning CLIL lessons. Whereas the 4 Cs helps us in the overall planning of the unit, the 3 As tool is of great help when we plan the language our students will need in the activities we have planned. The 3 As stands for A nalyse,  A dd and A pply. Let's have a look at the three stages: 👉 Stage 1 : ANALYSE content for the language OF learning. This means the key phrases and the vocabulary needed. 👉 Stage 2 : ADD to content language FOR learning. This refers to metacognitive or learner's strategies, language for group/pairwork, understanding instructions, how to deal with not understanding... To me, this stage is highly important. If we wa

TEACHING VOCABULARY AND GRAMMAR IN CLIL

  Hi teachers, Today I would like to talk to you about teaching VOCABULARY and GRAMMAR in CLIL . Should we teach vocabulary and structures before starting a Science or Arts unit?  After years of teaching with a CLIL approach, I confess there isn't a specific way to do so. I am going to tell you about my experience as a CLIL Science teacher. From my point of view, it depends on the age you are teaching and your students' level of English. When I teach 6-9 year-olds , I usually spend the first two sessions to teach and revise the new vocabulary that they are going to need in the new unit. And you may wonder how I do it. At these ages, I like using flashcards or realia and to play games with them. You can find some ideas about how to use flashcards in the post my dear friend and colleague Núria and I prepared: Let's see it with an example. The CLIL unit " A Healthy Mind into a Healthy Body " was divided into differents parts: 1) Introduction to Food 2) Where does it
