Hey people!

Today I want to talk about what a voki is. It is a powerful engaging tool for our students so let's see what it is about. 

A voki is a speaking character that you can create online. If you go to the Voki site you will be able to create a charatcter and cutomize it. Once you have done it you can give it voice recording an audio file or typing what is that you want the character to say (you can even choose the accent or type of voice). It is a cool app that students may use to create and tell a story, use as a guide or all other possibilities you/ they can think of.

My team and I have included a voki in our Wiki her name is Anna, a famous actress that will help students throughout the site.

Here you can see a picture of Anna:

If you go to our website you can see her performance on the front page and in other sections of our Wiki.

Hope it is of help! :)

Do you know what hot potatoes are? Would you like to know? You are on the right post to do so! If you hear people talking about hot potatoes you might think they are talking about overcooked or too warm potatoes. Well, this is not the case here. Hot potatoes is a website that enbles you to create interactive multiple-choice, short-answer questionnaires, jumbled-sentences, crosswords, matching or ordering tasks and gap-fill exercices. You can create a wide variety of tests with this program that will enable you to learn and improve your skills in a particular area. Hot potatoes is a suite that requires Java so if you want to give it a chance and test its possibilities go to https://hotpot.uvic.ca/ and download the program to be able to start!

We have created some hot potatoes for our Wiki site (remember to keep an eye on our wiki and see the upcoming news and posts!). One of the hot potatoes has been created to review the filming vocabulary and you can find it in this link. The other is to review your knowledge in genres and types of movies. You can find it here. 

I hope you enjoy and learn with the hot potatoes from the Wiki site and start creating your own!

Hi guys! 

today I want to introduce you the Wiki space that my team and I have created. As you can deduce from the title of this post is about filming movies so get ready for a very thrilling experience!

If you access to Filming movies Wiki  you will be able to see the details of this project. My team and I want you to create a movie and in order to master the abilities and skills required for producing and filming a movie we need to be prepared. This website will help you to gain knowledge about vocabulary you might need to create your movie. You will find words that will help you describe the type of movie or genre you are working with. You will also learn words related to filming making such as plot, producer, camera operator, among others. 

In the last part of the Wiki we ask you to upload your movie and to get there we have lots of things to learn and do first. So, shall we start? 

By the way, we have prepared (and we are still preparing) lots of gadgets and visual material that will help throughout this adventure. Be alert!

Here you can see how our Wiki looks like:
