Share Google Drive Doc

-

  Google Drive is a free  personal cloud storage  service from Google that lets  users store and synchronize  digital content across  computers, laptops and  mobile devices, and which  allows participants to work  simultaneously on the same  files without being in the same place. The documents  are saved at the same time  students are working with it.  This app is limited to Gmail.  During a first approach with  this app, it may be difficult to  understand how it works if  you are not used to doing it. But  after working and practicing how to use it, it is really easy  to manage and students as  well as teachers may find it  practical because they can  have access to their documents anywhere and  anytime.

This tool can be used especially by students from  secondary school so as to share their works made at  home with the teacher and at the same time it would  allow them to receive immediate feedback and to  be in contact with the teacher so as to clear up  doubts. This practical tool can also be very effective  for students at University since it allows students to  receive immediate feedback from teachers about  different tasks they may be performing. For  instance, students can start writing an essay and share it with their teacher in order to have feedback,  see their progress on the paper, clear doubts and ask for help.

Short Films

  A short film is any film not   long enough to be considered   a feature film. They are films   of a short duration of 40   minutes or less. Short films  can be very effective since  they make the  language learning process  more motivating and  enjoyable. By using short  films students are learning  about the language in a  specific context. Students from any age can be shown different short  films about any topic so as to work with it in the  English class.   For example, the short film called “Grammar Genius” ( Grammar Genius Video ) can be  used to work with the present simple and the  routines with 1st year students of a Secondary  School.
