using polls

We think that we can use polls in speaking activities, for example: A class debate, because using polls the students can research and supporting ideas and generate an interactive discussion.

For example: If the theme to discuss is about the abortion, both teams can develop certain polls to support them ideas giving the social opinion about the theme.

http://pollcode.com/ If you want to create some polls, use this page to get online results.

For example http://pollcode.com/pollcode.cgi, you can answer here the question without login and get the results instantly.

Results: http://poll.pollcode.com/etethc_result_duplicate

So in this case, this page is a very good and easy to use because you don't have to login. And also because you can give your opinion in a private way.

Productive Skills

As we all know speaking and writing are one of the most complicated skills to develop in schools so to explain them we need to be very creative to apply this content. 

here we have some links

Speaking 

http://www.voxopop.com/.

-  Voxopop is a site which is similar to Voicethread but doesn't have pictures. Students and teachers can start a discussion with a question. Others can reply with their voice. Teachers can listen to the student's replies and assess their speaking using a general rubric. It’s a very good page if you want to have a class discussion one day with your students.

- http://voicethread.com/

VoiceThread bridges the gap between real-time discussions and standard video lectures or online presentations. This makes VoiceThread the platform for teaching, learning, training, and collaborating, on-demand.

Writing  

spellchecker.net.

 -" Checking text and creating error-free emails and documents has never been easier. Our free, web-based service allows you to check grammar and spelling with one click. "
