Back to school: 5 tips to use ICT in the English class 

Are you interested in tips to start school implementing ICT in your class? Why not asking your students to explain their summer using some web 2.0 tools? It will be more attactive and fun. Let your students talk about their holidays and give them a topic: "How I Spent My Summer Vacation" .

Use the following tools: 

1. Create a comic. Pixton
2. Explain your holidays with a text-to-speech. Voki
3. Create a presentation with Photopeach.
4. Record your story with Audacity (audio) or a webcam (video) and share with your class.
5. Create a collabortive presentation. Wallwisher.
