 We did a Powtoon presentatio n in groups. In our presentation, we introduced ourselves as teachers of different subjects. We didn't want to create a very complicated presentation, because we will be early childhood education teachers and we wanted to make it simple in order to address our kids.

  I used simple show to create a short video with a sentence.  This is a tool to create videos, that when you introduce the sentence, it shows some images and then it can be presented. You can even record audios and upload them.    

Here you can find the link to my excel spreadsheet, and also I attach a screenshot of it. 

 Another tool we used in class is called Mentimeter.  I created an interactive survey .  I did it for childhood education, so I used pictures instead of writing the name and as it can be seen in the picture below.  During 2 minutes, kids can vote what they want to be and then we can even see the results in percentages. The options I included are: police officer, cooker, firefighter, doctor and teacher.

I created a story in storyjumper .  I decided to use Hamlet and make it adapted to kids, so that they can have access to classic literature. This pictures are some examples. I also recorded myself reading the story, so that the kids can also hear the story as they read it. 

The second activity is an  interactive image  which I created also with the tool Genially.   I found this one particularly useful and interesting. We can work a lot of vocabulary from a lot of different themes. In this case, I created it about the living room, in order for kids to learn about the different parts of the house. If you click on the grey circles, they will reveal the name of the object.
