There’s just one work left for this 3rd term, 4th Eso students must do a movie maker homework.
I’ve enjoyed doing this Project and working with different ICT activities that we have learnt in Sonia’s course, during the Project I’ve seen my students asking me if we will go to the Computers’ Room, what activities are we going to do…I’ve also watched some of them trying to escape from the activity and visiting their photologs, others doing a lot of writing or speaking, deeply involved in the activity, cooperating with their classmates, a few profiting from the fact of working in group work and doing practically nothing ( working when I was looking and relaxing when I turned over) I obviously do these activities because I think that with them students learn better. BUT…
WHAT DO THEY THINK?
Do they have a good time when doing this type of activities?
DO THEY ALSO THINK THAT THEY ARE IMPROVING THEIR ENGLISH?
About 54 students have participated in this Project, I’ve included a survey in my blog and my students are still voting ( some of them vote in pairs, because they can do it in the Computers’ Room) . At the moment 18 students have voted and the results are the following:
