Teacher’s name: Federica Biondi
Level: 2nd ESO
Developed language skill: speaking
Learning objective: the main aim is for students practice their speaking skills.
Task title: Skypals
Technological tools and justification: I have created an ICT activity using a Wiki. In this Wiki I have included the different steps that the students need to follow in order to practice their speaking. In particular, they will be communicating over Skype with kids at a British School in Milan. They therefore need to practice introducing themselves and then asking questions about their Skypals' daily life in and out of school.
I have chosen this tool as it allows me to give easy step-by-step instructions on how to carry out the task. It has also allowed me to embed another ICT tool (Popplet) which is graphically interesting and easy to use.
The students will be grouped in fours or fives. Each group will have a topic that they will be asking their Skypals about. In order to help them practice, they are given scaffolding for introductions and topics for discussion.
Another reason for choosing this tool is that I shall be uploading the video we filmed in class. This was made to introduce ourselves as a class to SJHS Milan. I will also be uploading the following tasks that the students will need to do to complete the project.
Finally, this Wiki shall be used to share the entire project with the school in Milan.
