About Me

Portugal
I am from Coimbra, Portugal, and am currently teaching in a school in Soure, about 30 km away from Coimbra. I have been a teacher of English for over 20 years and have already taught different levels and age groups. After all this time I can say I love working with adult groups because there are no coursebooks and I can create my own resources. I am an avid reader, a blogger and very curious about free tools and their implementation in the classroom.

New tool: Clarisketch


Have just returned from some days off and shared a guessing activity with my students in our class blog using a free Android app Clarisketch.


How?
1. Download the Clarisketch application into your tablet or smartphone. This app is for free and works on Androids 2.3.6 Gingerbread or higher.
2. Take a picture or use one from your camera.
3. Record your voice.
4. While adding voice to your pic, you can also draw on it highlighting details and commenting.
5. In the end, send or share it. No embedding, but a link to share. Here's my example - the one I used with my students:

What?
As you can see, it's very user-friendly and relevant for classroom use as a listening activity, eventually also combining reading; it can be used for tutorials, for homework, instructions, directions... or as a guessing activity. By the way: where was I???

Enjoy your holidays :)
