Using the school website

Using the school website to offer some extra digital material for my students has been on my mind since last year when I participated in Andriani Rigoutsou’s  project on Flipped Classroom.I was also influenced by Vivi Hamilou and her excellent work in her blog and by a recent seminar we had with Mrs Kotadaki about dyslexia.

 I have been thinking that it would be nice if I could provide my students with additional practice on the various vocabulary and grammatical patterns presented in the coursebooks.I also thought it would be nice to combine it with padlet platform in order to publish certain project work that my students create.

So I have started adding material  for each class in the school website, where students and parents have easy access to.

The material is available for my students for revision or further practice at home .It is designed in accordance to their coursebooks and is constantly updated by me as we move on from one unit to the other.

However , it turned out to be very useful for classroom use too. Whenever we have some free time in class we can always use the material to practice in class.After all it’s all gathered in one place!

This extra material is drawn from various websites .Below you can see some of them.

I have also used quizlet, to create flashcards and quizzes easily. Quizlet has been particularly appealing to students with dyslexia or other learning disabilities as it combines images with sound.

I still have a long way to go as I’m planning to create material for each unit  and each level separately. It’s a longterm project but from the feedback I got from the “experts”, my students that is, I believe it’s worth trying.

Here are the links to the website of my school and the links to the different grades:
