PPTs, Videos, Word and PDF files... things all the teachers have used some day!!!

If you are a teacher and you have never used a ppt presentation during a class, you're a freak at the teaching world!! hehehehe Take it easy, I'm jut kidding!! I'm saying that because it's an easy tool that offers a lot of things which allows you to make your class a little less boring. But pay attention! The long presentations with a lot of text in just one slide can cause the opposite effect and you can end your class talking only to yourself!!


At this post, I'm showing you some easy tools you can use to post your ppt presentations on your blog. Here I'm posting two presentations I've already used in class: the first one has some Portuguese text because it was made to use in a 6th grade class at a private school to explain how we use  Personal Pronouns; the second one is a song I've played for my 9th grade students  at the same school to show how the conditional clauses appear in the English Language (they only saw the lyrics on the presentation after listening to the song and completing the gaps), but the sound didn't appear on the presentation, I don't know why :(. I uploaded them using Slideboom and Slideshare, two interesting websites that I've known for a while.
After working with songs, the students want to know what it is about and most of the time I help them to figure it out with me. But sometimes I'm short of time and I use videos with the subtitles in Portuguese, like this one you can see here (it's the same song I've used on the ppt presentation). You can find this kind of videos on Youtube.





Finally, I'm posting a Word document I uploaded using Scribd. It's a short grammar explanation about Simple Past, a list of regular and irregular verbs and some exercises on the theme. I just have to add that this is not how I like to work, but the school where I was working demanded that and I had to do what they asked for. But there are some teachers who like to go that way, so enjoy it!!

Cecília I got impressed with your power point slides. I have to confess that I had never prepared any slide myself before taking this course with Ana. I just learnt how to create it about 2 weeks ago. Ana gave us a workshop. Difficult to believe,isn't it? Now that I'm very motivated I'll be trying more.
By the way I'm your follower now but I couldn't find a good photo. As soon as I find it I'll edit my profile.
