Educreations trial - the personal A in Spanish

This is an example of how the Educreations App can be used to make tutorials for students.

It is my first attempt at it so I did not take the time to type out some of the sentences, which would have made it a much nicer presentation.

Sock Puppets App

This could be a fun activity for students with iPhones or iPads with Sock Puppets app.

Los Munsters - Past Participles & Subjunctive

I will not be teaching for the next two weeks because the university where my student teacher attends requires that the student teachers take the full load of classes for a minimum of 2 consecutive weeks.  Since I have more time to search for material, I found this one of The Munsters with Spanish subtitles.  It has several examples of the past participle and the Spanish 3 are just learning about them.  I think the best way to use this would be to tell the story TPRS method so students hear the past participles (as well as the subjunctive) in context.  After the students know the story well, you could play the video.  I think it would be best to play it with the sound off so they don't have to listen to the English.  Maybe some of the students could take the role of the characters and read the lines.

I found the website minus.com this morning. You can upload files to share without having an account. The files will stay on the the site for 30 days and then will be deleted. If you want them to remain there longer, you have to made an account.

. You can embed the shared files/photos on your website.
I deleted the embedded photos because the size continued to grow on the blog and you couldn't read the other entries.

GLOBAL PROJECT - Collaborators Wanted

     My Spanish classes are looking for other classes to collaborate on a VoiceThread project with them.  Since our 2nd school semester doesn't start until Tuesday, January 24, I do not have the VoiceThread complete yet since the students need to give me their photos to add to the VoiceThread.  Below is a sample VoiceThread of what ours will look like after it is completed - hopefully within a week of January 24.  

Below are recordings in English and Spanish that explains the project.  If you need additional information, please e-mail me at:

or connect with me on twitter:   #sonrisadelcampo







Here is the SAMPLE VoiceThread:

I'm looking forward to hearing from other teachers and adding your class to our project.
