How to create a game at what2learn and insert it in your blog or powerpoint

 I've been using what2learn for a quite a while but had never fully explored all the options such us: keeping the score of students or inserting the game I created into my class powerpoint preparations.

 It is even easier to organize. You can create a file with the all the games you have created to explore the vocabulary of each book.

 That is why I recorded this tutorial to show you how to create a game - which should be incredibly fast- and insert the game in your powerpoint presentations.



 This is the example of the games I have created for our FUN 1 course in which we use the book Smile 1 .




To play the games, press F5

Have a great weekend!

How to register at Edmodo

First of all, what is Edmodo?

It defines itself as a micro-blogging tool for education.


Edmodo is a private microblogging platform that teachers and students can use to send notes, links, files, alerts, assignments, and events to each other. Teachers also have the ability to mark any post from their classes as public to share with the outside world. You can also create private groups for you and your colleagues to collaborate. It's free & simple to use!

It is NOT public and that makes it much more useful for education. Think of it as a social network for a specific class, with some very basic file transfer and scheduling tools. I wouldn't use it as a substitute for Moodle, but it could be a neat way to engage students in a class and augment the regular methods of information transfer.

So far at the CCBEU we have a few teachers who are registered and already benefiting from sharing work, videos and classes.

I prepared a tutorial to help who doesn't have a hand out from the meeting.

Making tutorials

Hello and TGIF!

I discovered this great website called Screencast which allows us to create tutorials.

One of the many positive things about it is that you don't have to download it.
It's fast and simple.

I decided to give it a try by making a tutorial explaining students how to comment on blogs.
Check it out :



Is there ony other Tutorial you would like to suggest?
