Poster-a simple paper with some images or maybe colourful photos, sometimes real :), and of course info that was asked by a Teacher :?
What about some more attractive- Glogster proposed by BBC. Informative Attractive Talkative Movable!
The sites like Infographics, Glogster and Thinglink-are for those who want to create an attractive poster but more memorable one.
This week I decided to impress my 12 th Form students with easy remebered information for their civilization topic- England and the USA.(http://sdalby.edu.glogster.com/the-differences-between-england-and-america/?=glogpedia-source ). Do you know the next lessons while answering my questions i noticed better results for remebering some facts and info. It was perfect . even the students that are mostly passive like the idea and asked about the possibilities to create such lively posters by themselves. I think you are not going to punish me for sharing such a great treasure ;)))
Another tool is a Bulletin Board. You know i do not use it so often for information, but i like when my students works are shown there, their achivements and results. They are really proud of themselves and give example to other students motivating them to create something more and more attractive and interesting. it can be a postcard in 5th Form, a recept of a national dish in 6th form, a favourite country in 10th form, a disease in the 11th form or some arguments for/cons in 12th Forms.
It is great to sue some new tools but i like my students CREATIVITY :)))
UPS @@@
One more my lesson plan-) I will show you somehow but attached it in my moodle class.

Still learning analysing and developing. This week the interesting one and more practical-they make me work very hard :)
So after exploring Visuwords-these moving vocabulary i was really impressed and attracted by the colours the wide vocabulary that is provided just Click on ;) It is going to be really cool for 7th form. For example if in 8th form i am going to study the topic -Film, i will for sure use a "brainstorming" proposed by Visuwords. The students can create it by themselves and to complete with proposed expressions.
Lingro-is really useful for 9th and 12th Forms because their vocabulary should be improved not only with simple words but also with Phrasel verbs and their different usage.
The 9th Form was really interested when i proposed them to define the word-to judge, after the presenting results we introduced the word in Lingro-they were astonished, that English has so many expressions with jus a short word-JUDGE ! Now they use the site at my lessons and improve their vocabulary.

Some days ago i was talking with very intelligent teachers about the sites that we have to use while teaching new generation, the most of sites that we use actually everyday while talking or chatting with our students. the most popular are Facebook, Twitter, Odnoklassniki , but what about their necessities?!
For example, i like Facebook -the site where i can share different useful things and be really informative for my students and not only. English School of Future (https://www.facebook.com/) the page where i am always online and if my students have some questions that can easily contact me there, find the answers even the home assignments.
I would like to give my students an example of intelligent and informative page where they can find out more interesting things and sites for their homework and not only, just be informative about the English and German world.
To show that Facebook is not only the site for sharing your personal life style , pictures in clubs and WC or shopping of fashion dresses, But the site for studying where you can find friends from the whole world and communicate, being helpful, useful and open and just holding smart discussions while sharing pictures and articles.
But if you ask me about my private life- i can surely tell you i have a life in SCHOOL and my personal life, so two sites. I have different friends even, School friends and Another life friends. they are different, all of them are interesting but for different occasions and purpose.
Why should i share my own , private life with the people that i have a relation TEACHER-STUDENT?!
The teachers becomea topic for discussion when she or he shares the two personal pictures or info, they become a topic for gossips and rumors, and sometimes not so positive even hurtful , and soon they lose the respect, the students do not respect them and do not consider them as mature or even an example of a good teacher but just a simpole friend, that can be betrayed or supported.
I would like to be respected and to be a personality for them , they can be proud that i am their teacher, that they are not ashamed to show their parents and even their friends, but to raise their heads showing LOOK She/He is my TEACHER!!!
