Dear EFL teachers,
This week you are going to put your students to work! Svetlana will teach you how to use three online platforms which turn pictures into videos and can become valuable teaching gadgets: Animoto, Picovico, and Stupeflix. Enjoy our collection of online video making tools! |  |
Task 1: Watch two student projects involving digital storytelling. They both involved task-based and project-based approaches. Answer the questions below and post your reflections as a comment to this assignment:
1. Which multiple intelligences did each project focus on? (Read the short article published by American Institute for Learning.)
2. Which of Bloom's Taxonomy categories did the projects tap into? (Use Bloom's Taxonomy Wheel and Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy Process Verbs documents for reference.)
3. If you had the opportunity to involve your students in a similar project, which theme connected to your curriculum would you choose? How would the project improve your students' higher order thinking skills, as well as language skills?

Task 2: Let us introduce your students to several online platforms for video projects. Analyse the advantages and disadvantages of these three platforms: Animoto, Picovico and Stupeflix, choose one and create a task for your students which would require them to create online movies and post the links to your blogs. Place the link to your task below, as a comment to this assignment.
Animoto is a Web 2.0 tool that allows users to produce videos that blend photos, video clips, text, and music. Animoto could be used for the following ideas: Check out this sample Animoto videos: |
Another great tool to experiment with when teaching English isPicovico. Using Picovico your students can make commercials, science fair previews and animated shorts in any content area. You can have your students create book talks or "ads" for a famous historic figure. You may have your students create "advertisements" for an organism or a literary character, a travel commercial for a country or cultural site in a world language course, make an end of year presentation of class events or a beginning of the year. It is a web tool to create a video with your pictures. After signing up, you choose a video style, upload your pictures, add text, choose your music, add a few details and wait for your video to be rendered. When the video is ready nearly in two minutes, you can share your video via different social media tools or you can also download your video.
Here are a few ideas to use this tool in class: - Students can create an advertisement of an object, film or a book that they have just read. - If you go on a field trip, ask students to take pictures and create a video using those pictures later. - Students can create a video of the things that they have done in holidays. - The videos can be used for introducing school rules, families, what they like doing etc. When creating their short movies, ask your students to use this template: Story Map |     |
Stupeflix is a tool that allows users to create video montages using their favorite images and audio clips. Stupeflix allows users to drag and drop their images into the desired sequence. You will want to upload your own audio clips as Stupeflix offers only one default soundtrack. But an advantage of Stupeflix is that it allows you to use more than one audio clip within the same video.
Sample projects to share with your students: Ask your students to use one of the storyboards they can download from this website: Storyboard Depot |
Additional digital storytelling Web 2.0 platforms
If Animoto, Picovico, and Stupeflix didn't grow on you, feel free to give a try to these platforms we encourage you to experiment with: Photopeach and Slidestory. Enjoy designing creative tasks for your students!

Task 1:
ReplyDelete1. "Moldovan Cuisine" involves linguistic intelligence (the speaker is a very good storyteller , I like the way she uses the word structures) and spatial intelligence (a rich and opportune collection of pictures in correlation with what is told: map, visual vocabulary, personal photos). "My video CV" includes several intelligences: linguistic, spatial, musical intelligence, (her story is rich in examples expressed through pictures, photos and songs) intrapersonal intelligence (the speaker describes her own childhood, interesting life, progress and developed skills) interpersonal intelligence ( she is a sociable and active person, it is seen in the group activities she took part: leader of the class, instructor to “Equal to equal”)
2. "Moldovan Cuisine" includes Bloom's Taxonomy categories such as: knowledge (tell/describe/list), comprehension (paraphrase/ illustrate/ explain), analysis (distinguish/compare), synthesis (organize) and evaluation (relate/decide). "My video CV" involves categories like: knowledge (investigate/ describe), comprehension (illustrate), analysis (compare/ examine, synthesis (hypothesis) and evaluation (consider).
3. If I had the opportunity to involve my students in a similar project, I would choose the theme “After classes”, which is connected to the curriculum. I think the project would improve my pupil’s linguistic skills (formulating a speech about their spare time, following the correct word order in sentences, using new vocabulary) and thinking skills(speaking about their own preferences and such).
Task 2:
http://angelagabureac.weebly.com/homework/assignment-2-the-united-kingdom
Dear Angela! Thank you very much for your dedication and for such specific answers to the tasks. I liked the idea of your project about after classes activities and most of all I liked that you have mentioned that students have to use some vocabulary in their speech and also they have to pay attention to the structure of the sentences, a aproblem that the majority of the students face.
DeleteIf speaking about the assignement created for your students, I could mention that it is a good one, you gave them some tutorial, what is very important and some other things they can use. You could also specify that they will present the project as a speech and you could mention the time limit they are supposed to speak on it.
1.
DeleteThe author of the Moldovan Cuisine project develops verbal/linguistic intelligence using controlled writing and reporting, visual/spacial intelligence using pictures and photos, logical intelligence using categorizing and sequencing information and the intrapersonal intelligence by exploiting personal interests and individual instruction.
My Video CV is based on developing visual intelligence using pictures and photos, verbal /linguistic int. using reporting and free writing and the intrapersonal one using personal reflection and thoughts.
2.
Moldovan Cuisine includes the following categories from Bloom's Revised Taxonomy:creating-producing a project;analyzing-structuring and organizing report; understanding -inferring collection of traditional dishes;applying- execution of a presentation.
My Video CV- includes categories ,like:creating- designing and producing of a project; analyzing-structuring a report and applying -carrying out a performance.
3. If I had the opportunity to involve my 12 -form students in a similar project , I would also like it to be My Video CV not only because it is according to the curriculum but also they may need it for applying for a job and even maybe to enter the university.
Task 2:http://educationforpupils.weebly.com/12-th-form-s-assignments
ReplyDeleteDear Tatiana, the assignement you have created for your students is a very interesting one from my point of view. I liked very much that you gave your students to watch first a video and then to create their own. You could also post there some tutorial that could help them work easier.
Delete1.Moldovan cuisine project develops linguistic intelligence, spacial intelligence. interpersonal and naturalist intelligence.The author of the project uses linguistic intelligence as the main aspect but it goes in strong correlation with visual and natural sides of speaker's potential.
ReplyDeleteMy video CV is focused on linguistic intelligence,spacial and intrapersonal intelligence.The author of the project presents her CV that contains a lot of information. Her voice sounds surely and it shows self-reflection toward what she is speaking about.
2.Moldovan Cuisine is based on the next Bloom's taxonomy: knowledge. The author selected the necessary information, investigated it and wrote memories. Comprehension-the information that the author had selected, was described in a logical way.Application- the author reports to listeners her ideas using her personal ideas. And of course a taxonomy is evaluation- after visiting the snack-bar "La placinte" the author decided to try it again if she had the opportunity and recommend it to other tourist.
My video CV is tap into knowledge, comprehension, application,analysis and synthesis. The author of CV lists, defines, selects, expresses general ideas, produces audio message, reports about her activity, explains, organizes and creates the Video CV.
3. If I had the opportunity to involve my students in such projects I would choose the topic "Travelling". Almost every student spends summer vacation abroad. Thanks to social networks, Instagram they take a lot of pictures. So, one opportunities to share his/her impressions about travelling is creating a movie maker project with photos and description of places, feelings and emotions.
Another theme connected with curriculum can be Moldova, National Heritage, Home sweet home- themes that can involve students in creating a documentary film about their native place.
Aliona, you made a nice analysis of the given tasks. Thank you for that. Concerning the project I like that you choose topics according to your curriculum, but you have to take into account your students' preferences. As a suggestion you may first ask them what they would like their project to be about. This way they will be more motivated to involve and create.

Task 1
3. If I had the opportunity to involve my students in a similar project, I would choose the theme “It's a Great Job”, which is connected to the curriculum. I think the project would improve my pupil’s linguistic skills (formulating a speech about what they want to become in the future, following the correct word order in sentences, using new vocabulary) and thinking skills(speaking about their own preferences)
Aurelia Plamadeala
DeleteThe first video project ( Moldovan Cuisine) is focused on interpersonal, naturalist, spatial, musical and linguistic intelligence. It taps into synthesis.
The second video project is focused on a social experience (interpersonal intelligence) and linguistic intelligence. It taps into Evaluation. If I had the opportunity I would choose topics about EU countries.
I think that video projects convey messages better because they include summarized written and spoken explanations.
http://aureliaplamadeala.weebly.com /video projects
Dear Diana, I have seen the tasks created for your students and I would like to find out if they have to make 3 videos using all these tools or they have to choose one. You had to specify this thing into the assignement, because it is not quite clear. You give them to explore picovico, then you ask them to choose the one they want to use. Maybe it would be more appropriate to show them all the tools and then ask to use one.
DeleteI have given three tasks, for the first task they have to use Animoto, for the second- Picovico, and for the third they can choose the one they want. Each task has different topic.
DeleteI'm sorry about the misunderstandings...
I tried to use these tools and in french classes with the 8th grade the previous week. I have just asked them if they have a g mail account and i have given them some directions what kind of possibilities can offer these tools. So today i received the first video.
Deletehttps://animoto.com/play/I6v1bxaB1SoFcpJrNdEucw?autostart=1
Thank you for the suggestions
Thank you, Diana! Thatțs really nice of your students. I hope they liked such kind of homwork. Could you, please ask your students to post this video as a comment to your task on your blog, or you may try to do this.
DeleteI have a question, how can i do this?
DeleteIf i understood correctly i can do it, on my sub-page "Blog", where i have the case "Comment"?
Thank you for answering....
Sorry , i can not find the Assessment 6
Sure, Diana. Your students have to post their produce in the comments at the task you have created for them.
DeleteThe first video project ( Moldovan Cuisine) is focused on interpersonal, naturalist, spatial, musical and linguistic intelligence. It taps into synthesis.
ReplyDeleteThe second video project is focused on a social experience (interpersonal intelligence) and linguistic intelligence. It taps into Evaluation. If I had the opportunity I would choose topics about EU countries.
I think that video projects convey messages better because they include summarized written and spoken explanations.
http://aureliaplamadeala.weebly.com /video projects
Aurelia, I am interested to know if your students like the topic you have chosen about the EU countries. Usually they are not very interested in such topics. What is the reason you would choose it?
DeleteI liked your point of view on video projects and I totally agree with you. Moreover students are more motivated to work and to do their homework if they are to create such projects.
Aurelia, could you please check the link you have posted, it doesn't show me your blog. Something is wrong with it.
Dear Svetlana,
DeleteMy students are interested in topics related to EU countries and all countries in the whole world because they like to travel.Moreover, civiliazation topics are included in bachelor examination tests.
http://activerest.weebly.com/
http://aureliaplamadeala.weebly.com
Thank you, Aurelia for your quick answer. I know that it is included in the bachelor exam and I know how important the topic is, but I was eager to find out the students' opinion, because they don't always like what they have to learn.
DeleteConcerning your blog, I can see just the link of your blog here, but I don't see the assignement created for your students. Could you please post it.

Dear Angela, thank you for your answers. I saw the tasks you have created for your students. It is good that you have explained them how to create a video using these tools, but it would be easier for them to work if you provide them a video tutorial, a link on youtube how the sites work. Beside this it would be better if you make a kind of plan, some ideas about what the video should contain, more detailed.
DeleteTalambuta Angela
DeleteSvetlana, there is a video tutorial for the 6th form. Probably you've wathed the 5th form page there I didn't put a tutorial by mistake but I will.
As about the plan, the 5th form had to write the new words from Word bank and to find pictures, the 6th form had to find the places of interest mentioned in the text from their book and also to find pictures for them. This was their first video but in the future I will think about a plan.
Thank you.
Angela, that's ok if your students have the assignement in the book, but I meant that you had to give them some directions in the assignement on your blog. See the example of your colleague Maria Terzi: http://mariaterziclassblog.weebly.com/efl-blogging-school-assignments

DeleteDear Svetlana,I understood very well the task,but I have English only with the second form pupils,and they don't know how to do It.Please,give me an advice how to make this assignment with them, thank you.
DeleteVeronica, that's really difficult to work with the second form students and we have discussed about this during our live session. I have an idea!

Dear Eugenia, while creating your assignement it would be better if you give some details related to the topic to your students, some guidelines they have to follow while ceating the video. This way it's too general and it will be difficult for them to work and for you to evaluate the video. As for example what you want the students to show in the video.
DeleteThank you Svetlana. I will be more detailed next task.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteDear Aliona, it is good that you gave the students the links where they can learn about these web tools. And maybe it is good that you allowed them to choose the topic they like, I supppose this is as a round up lesson if you have so many topics. I think you could also make a plan of what each topic should refer to or you may suggest your students what things they should pay attention to while creating the video.
ReplyDeleteTask 1:
ReplyDelete1. "Moldovan Cuisine" involves linguistic intelligece and spatial intelligence . "My video CV" includes several intelligences: linguistic, spatial, musical intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence .

Dear Lilia,
DeleteThank you for your answers and I really appreaciate the topic you have chosen for the project, as we all know its importance. This will help yor students to learn easier and in a more interactive way.
The assignement you created for your students is a good one, but you could also give them some guidelines what they could include in their description or what you would like to see there. This gives you the opportunity to a better evaluation of the video.
TASK 1
ReplyDelete1. The first project "Moldovan cuisine" is focused on the Linguistic intelligence, but in the same time, it involves Spatial intelligence, Naturalist intelligence and Intrapersonal intelligence.
The second project ''My video CV", in which its author presents her CV that contains a lot of information, is focused on linguistic intelligence, spatial intelligence, musical intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence and naturalist intelligence.
1. The first project "Moldovan cuisine" is based on the next Bloom's taxonomy categories: KNOWLEDGE (the author demonstrates she knows the vocabulary related to the topic, the grammar rules, she also has knowledge of how select the necessary information and how to write a structured text), COMPREHENSION (the author demonstrates comprehension of the information she had selected), APPLICATION (the author applies her knowledge of language, grammar, text structure to report her personal ideas), ANALYSIS and SYNTHESIS (the author investigates, analyzes and interprets the selected information and synthesizes it in a personal conclusion) and, of course, EVALUATION (after visiting the snack-bar "La plăcinte" the author makes an evaluation, expressing her opinion about the food she has eaten).

ReplyDelete1. I think "Moldovan Cuisine" involves linguistic intelligence and spatial intelligence.
"My video CV" includes linguistic, spatial, musical, intrapersonal intelligences.
2. The project "Moldovan Cuisine" taps into the following Bloom's Taxonomy categories: knowledge, comprehension, analysis, synthesis and evaluation.
"My video CV" includes categories such as: knowledge, comprehension, analysis and evaluation.
3. If I had the opportunity to involve my students in a similar project, I would choose the topic “Age and Youth”, which is connected to the curriculum. I think the project would improve my students’ linguistic skills, analytical thinking skills, as they are teenagers and cope with generation gap every day. In this project they can identify some of their dear ones, of different age, compare and value their contribution to their life.

ReplyDeleteAs I have understood from this link, here we have a student's video, but I don't know whose student is this and it will be good to post the link as a comment on your blog to the assignement. ask your student to check the sound. Soemething is wrong with it.
DeleteTatiana, it would be better if you gave your students some tutorial how to use the online tool and more details about the task. Generally, it's ok. Keep trying!
ReplyDeletehttp://englifemoldova.weebly.com/efl-blogging-school-for-moldovan-teachers---edition-2-project
ReplyDeleteIt is well known that each effort,step or activity made by students brings several skills with it. Then it is evident that those two projects develop The theory of multiple intelligences.For instance, we can notice the Linguistic intelligence, that is seen in both projects,then comes Spatial intelligence. I really think that Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart") and Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart") are the keys of these projects. It is extremely important to know how to get in contact with other people, one will ask what it has to do with the video creation, the answer is simple, you need to know what people are seeking for what is their sphere of interest so you can make some criteria or guidelines for your future video work.Then why " Self-smart"? Because, the action of acknowledging your inner part your true emotions and attitude toward a certain topic, is going to help you when the inspiration leaves for a long journey.

DeleteThank you for your great work. I liked the way you answered the tasks. When you have your students' videos done, please post them on your blog as a comment to your task.
Task 1:
ReplyDeleteThe Videos "Moldovan Cuisine", "My video CV" are a great tool to involve students in the media learning process. They have elements of Civilization and Essay writing, that make them suitable to use in teaching.
Task 2:
The students are familiarized with the Video Making tools as Animato.com, Photopeach and Slidestory. The students’ productions are on the stage to be finished, and then they will be published on my blog’s page: Student’s Portfolio
Dear Svetlana,
DeleteCould you please give more details when answering the tasks. And I would like you to post here the link of your assignement that you have done for your students. Thank you!
Hello,
ReplyDeleteSorry for being late with the assignments, but I wish I managed to catch up with everything.
1. Regarding the first project, „Moldovan Cuisine”, it focuses on visual intelligence when showing different types of meals and their composition. This one is filled by the linguistic intelligence. Showing the inner tastes, it presents intrapersonal development and in the same times implies the receptor to think, to take attitude and compare him/herself with the one of the author’s. Here interpersonal intelligence is developed. The second project, „My video CV”, develops mainly linguistic intelligence, but there are also present spatial, musical and naturalist ones. The last ones are present in the first project as well.
2. Regarding Knowledge, telling, investigation, observation are explored; on Comprehension—description, confirmation, parafrazing, illustrating; on Application—production, performing, completing, modelling, collection; on Analysis—examination, investigation, comparing; on Synthesis we can notice the organisation and plan design; on Evaluation—selection, judgements. So in just a short piece of work all of the categoriesof the objectives of the Bloom’s taxonomy were explored.
3. I would like to use one of these platforms for teaching Schooling in the VIIth form.
http://galinamadam.weebly.com/homework
Dear Galina, thank you for the answer. The analysis you have made is quite specific. As for the assignement you have created for your students you could give them more details on the topic, what you would like them to include in the Animoto presentation and this would make your evaluation and their work easier and more objective.
ReplyDeleteTask1
ReplyDelete1. I like both projects. The Moldovan ciusine project focuses on multiple intelligences as: linguistic, social, spacial, bodily –kinesthetic but My video CV focuses on almost all the intelligences: linguistic, interpersonal, intrapersonal,logical mathematic,bodily-kinesthetic, musical.
2. These projects tap into Understanding, Analysing, Applying and Creating.
3. If I had the opportunity to involve my students in a similar project, I would you choose the topic "My favorite holiday ". They would have to choose their favorite holiday ,to make a presentation about it, to choose a specific music, to found the differences and similarities with holidays in other countries ,etc.
This topic suits their level(7-th form ), it's going to be funny and they will practice speaking.

I liked very much the fact that you have created an example for your students using a platform proposed in the task. What you could add is just some specific vocabulary and grammar structures they may use. I also appreciate that thing that your blog really works, for the reason I saw some of your students'projects.

"My Video CV" reflects many intelligences: linguistic, musical, spatial, intrapersonal, interpersonal,etc.

ReplyDelete3. I really love civilization topics when students have the chance to discover a lot of unknown facts about famous British/American personalities. So why not trying to experiment with the 10th graders who will need some additional time and resourses for fulfilling the task. The could make a PPP bringing facts about queens and kings who have ever ruled the country. Speaking about younger learners I'd suggest to explore "A Trip around Music", by finding information about the roots of music; to identify what "ballads/lullabies/carols, etc" represent.
Thank you, Luminita for analyzing the projects proposed in the task and for your comments. I like very much the topics chosen for you for your students.
Delete"Moldovan Cuisine", the first video project is focused on linguistic, interpersonal, naturalist, spatial and musical intelligence.
ReplyDeleteThe second video project is based on interpersonal and linguistic intelligence. It is an Evaluation.
If I had the opportunity I would choose topics closed to my pupils (about friendship, their families, hobbies, future profession etc.)
I think that video projects can help them to summarize the information and to give written and spoken explanations.
Dear Maria, you have noticed very well the intelligences that the projects focus on. Congratulations! I agree with you that when you choose a topic for a video project you have to take into consideration those topics that could raise your students; interests. As for the project you have created, it's very nice and it's a good idea to create an example for your students. This way you motivate them to work.
DeleteI have done a picovico video that I would like to share with my students for proposing them to make something similarly https://web.picovico.com/en/play/pRC2WV9WTuqJWwdsj_2lYw

DeleteMaria, you have to find the embed code of the video and copy it. Otherwise you will not be able to do that.
DeleteVera, I appreciate the careful thought and consideration you took responding to the questions regarding multiple intelligences. Keep up the great work!
DeleteAs fot the task you have created, I would like to mention that it's good that you use the vocabulary from the book, but you could also provide your students some extra vocabulary, that they don't have in their text-books. For the rest, it's nice. Keep working with video tools.
Thank you for wonderful pieces of advice! They really mean a lot to me and my efforts! Thank you!

ReplyDeleteSorry as I am late with my tasks but I try to catch up with.
ReplyDeleteTask 1. I like this project “Moldovan cuisine” as contains a lot of creativity and evidence of our traditional food. The pictures are very clear and attractive. The voice of the author is nice, clear and with accuracy she has a good pronunciation. It involves a lot of skills of speaking, culture domain and knowledge about the topic.
The second project “My video CV” all of them are different and good, I like those that I can here the voice it Is more attractive, all of them are focused on linguistic intelligence and musical and special intelligence.
The first project “Moldovan cuisine” is based on the following Bloom’s taxonomy categories: Knowledge. The author knows the lexic on the topic, the grammar rules, she has a good structure of thoughts.
Comprehension. The author is aware of the information she relates
Application .She applies all her knowledge of grammar , language, the order of thoughts and ideas.
Analysis and synthesis. She is creative, she has selected good materiel for the project, she investigates the information and she says her personal attitude towards the meals.
The second project ''My video CV" gets into knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation as well.The author of CV lists, defines, selects the best pictures could represent or cover their ideas and activities of their life. Produces audio message, reports about their activity, creates the Video CV, express their opinions sometimes very seriously sometimes with a sense of humor.
3. If I had the chance to involve my students in such a project I would like to suggest them to speak about their „ after school activities or about their school day „ or maybe about our public places of our town.
Dear Eudochia,
