Miriam Akoto's Teaching Portfolio

BLOGGER

It allows teachers and students to collaborate, share instructional resources, create content and connect to mainstream social media channels such as YouTube, podcasts, other blogs, tweets, social bookmarks, etc. all on a single centralized page.

Make Belief Comix

www.makebeliefscomix.com

This site is cool and fun! It allows you to create texts with the advantage of multimodal resources.Also,you are able to share with people who can comment,like etc.

SPICYNODES

www.spicynodes.com

It allows you to create mindmaps or organizational charts with bits of information such as text, links, photos, and other media that are placed into “nodes,” which are then linked together. You can then embed them into websites, blogs and wikis. I plan to use this soon.

Jeopardy games

jeopardylabs.com

It is a great platform to create Jeopardy review games by entering categories, answers and questions. I've played jeopardy in my classes and students absolutely love it and it's a great way to review a chapter or lesson.

Poll Everywhere

polleverywhere.com

Great for quick in class polls and surveys! I have used it so many times and it works!

YouTube

www.youtube.fr

YouTube.fr is a great place to find videos and authentic texts. I have found it to be very helpful.

Facebook

www.facebook.com

Facebook allows for teachers and students to collaborate and share on a platform that provides the ability to post video, comments and photos.

VoiceThread

voicethread.com

I love voice thread! It enables you to create conversations around an image through a variety of modes. I plan to use it soon in my classes.

Yahoo France

https://fr.yahoo.com/

I use yahoo france a lot in my classroom. It exposes my students to French news and culture and creates the opportunity of commenting on stories and articles.

WORDLE

http://www.wordle.net/

I have used wordle to generate “word clouds” from a text provided. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. It is an excellent tool to integrate literacy into other content areas.
