WEBPAGE ANALYSIS
We analyzed in pairs some links that can be useful in education.
1) Good points of the web from a technological and pedagogical point of view (at least 3 technological [colours, organization, easy to use, easy to locate things] and 3 pedagogical)
It’s free, easy to use, organisation by grade and subject
Attractive characters, motivating, and colorful
2) Bad points of the web (at least 3)
Games don’t have “instructions”
Some games are quite short
We need the internet and a computer or tablet
3) Level and age to be used with
It could be used for every range of age
4) How you would use the web in your teaching practice
It would be nice to use it in Exit tickets activities and also to revise before an evaluation
2. Anglomaniacy
1) Good points of the web from a technological and pedagogical point of view (at least 3 technological [colours, organization, easy to use, easy to locate things] and 3 pedagogical)
- There are online and printable activities, posters, games, flashcards…
- Very colorful
- Wide range of activities, not only games
2) Bad points of the web (at least 3)
It is for very young children so the range of age is more limited
Has a lot of advertising
It is not as intuitive as others
3) Level and age to be used with
It might be used in infant education
4) How you would use the web in your teaching practice
Maybe it could be used in the first primary courses to motivate students
1) Good points of the web from a technological and pedagogical point of view (at least 3 technological [colours, organization, easy to use, easy to locate things] and 3 pedagogical)
- Good advices
- Good organization
- Variety of advice (writing tips, blog tips, keywords…)
2) Bad points of the web (at least 3)
It is not attractive for children, it’s quite “serious”
It is not visual
The explanations and examples are not visual
3) Level and age to be used with
Higher courses of primary and Secondary education

4. Owl English
1) Good points of the web from a technological and pedagogical point of view (at least 3 technological [colours, organization, easy to use, easy to locate things] and 3 pedagogical)
Technological
- It is explained how you can use it
- It is well organized
- Its design its very formal and serious
Pedagogical
- It is addressed to parents and teachers also
- It has different exercises (with answers)
- It can help also with academic writing for citation and quotation, for example with apa style
- It has a lot of information regarding writing
2) Bad points of the web (at least 3):
- it is not intuitive at all
- It is not visual
- It is a webpage inside a university webpage, so sometimes you change the writing lab to the university webpage.
3) Level and age to be used with:
Mostly I would use this webpage with secondary students, but maybe we can use some exercises for primary.
4) How you would use the web in your teaching practice:
I would only use this webpage for example with punctuation exercises. We can print it and give it to the higher primary courses, but only for practising. Then, they can exchange their exercises with their partner and they correct each other's exercises.
And as I say, it would be only with primary students or higher. For childhood education it would be impossible.
5. Podomatic
1) Good points of the web from a technological and pedagogical point of view (at least 3 technological [colours, organization, easy to use, easy to locate things] and 3 pedagogical)
Technological:
- Very visually attractive
- You can record the podcasts only with your phone, you don´t need a lot of equipment
- It can be used without paying
Pedagogical:
- Can be done about a lot of themes
- You can create your owns or listen to others as examples
- You can train your speaking and listening
- you can listen to music, not only podcasts
2) Bad points of the web (at least 3):
- It may lack of interest for young students, as the podcasts are normally longs
- Maybe for letting the kids managing it alone can be a little bit difficult, so they will need the teacher to monitor it.
- The podcasts themes may not be interesting for young kids, as there is a lot of talking and it may be difficult for them
3) Level and age to be used with:
I would use it starting from primary, but in the last years maybe.
4) How you would use the web in your teaching practice:
With primary students, we can carry on an interview site, where each week for example each student interviews one person of their environment. He has to create the questions and then record himself. We can later listen to him.
1) Good points of the web from a technological and pedagogical point of view (at least 3 technological [colours, organization, easy to use, easy to locate things] and 3 pedagogical)
Technological:
- It is very simple to use
- different colors for the different links
- easy to locate things
Pedagogical
- It has plenty of exercises for the different levels
- It helps with pronunciation also
- There is a section to help teachers
- There are links to other useful pages
- The podcasts include exercises
2) Bad points of the web (at least 3):
- Only divided into 3 levels, which can be limiting to others
- Doesn´t seem a very elaborated webpage
- there is no grammar or writing, for example
- not useful for younger learners
- it doesn´t seem very professional
3) Level and age to be used with:
Primary. Maybe 7 or 8 years.
4) How you would use the web in your teaching practice:
We can print the worksheets and then give them to the kids. We put the listening and later, we give them the answers. Later, they will correct it in pairs. The kid will give his/her exercises to his/her partner and he/she will correct it.
We decided that the best one was the first link, because it was more useful with kids, as it is more interactive, more colorful and had plenty of different activities. You can also search the activities by grade or by subject.
