Anyway, I was lucky that I could catch up the session content and get my blogfolio tasks done. I know that the session focused on connecting with students inside or outside class. When I studied the lesson plan, I knew that Paul had introduced Kahoot! and Quizlet Live, which I have used with my students before! What I can say about the two tools is that my students just LOVE them! Now, whenever I bought iPads into the classroom and they would ask me, "are we playing on Kahoot?" This platform is really powerful as it creates a real time competition among the students. Quizlet Live even brings it to another level as it requires students to team up and interact with one another to 'win' the competition. From my experience, the atmosphere of the lesson is heated up and students' engagement and motivation are highly boosted! It's just amazing!!!
For the first blogfolio task (Google Forms Questionnaire), it is very useful not only for teachers to collect information from students, but also in a way that students can create simple surveys or questionnaires for the use of interviewing activities. It is particularly practical for communicative speaking tasks and project learning.
For the second blogfolio task, which is a GoFormative quiz, I was stunned when I tried to create my quiz. It took me NO TIME to get it done. I just downloaded a picture and a comprehension worksheet from the textbook publisher website, made a few minor changes, clicked a few buttons and the quiz was done! I didn't even need to type the questions nor MC options. I will use this a lot for both in-class activities and as homework.
