En la recepcion... by MsPwall ** made with Bubblr (PIMPAMPUM)
The above link was created using Bubblr. It was so easy to create this object that students can use for written and/or oral vocabulary practice for a travel unit.
My current Spanish 3 students are learning vocabulary for hotel travel. A typical assessment task would involve several students creating a conversation that could take place at a hotel reception desk. Sure, they could stand up in front of the class with props and role-play the situation. However using Bubblr, they can fill in their own speech bubbles for each person's role! This way, students can accomplish the same task using technology that is fun for them to use, would certainly peak their interests, and above all is so easy to create. I was able to search for the exact type of picture I wanted and once I put in the speech bubbles Bubblr offered to link it directly to my Blogger account so you can view it. All the teacher has to do is specify the grammar structures and/or vocabulary that should be included and the students have a lot of room for creativity! If I used this in class with my students they could create a whole conversation just on this slide. It would also be fun to search for a picture that had some facial expressions with the same people; this way the students would also have to introduce a problem into the conversation or some kind of twist in their story!
Another cool feature of Bubblr is that you can search the archive for comic strips that have already been created and simply adjust them for your lesson or project.

Jackie,
ReplyDeleteI liked all the ideas you mentioned in your post, but the image in the post seems to be about the history of cameras. Did you, perhaps, choose the wrong link?

Oh, now I get it. The picture was not of "En la recepcion." I finally clicked on your link and saw the Bubblr.
