eResources for Very Young Learners (+1) MFL Spanish#1.Creating games for iPad


With the government planning to implement MFL in KS2 as a compulsory subject in the new Primary curriculum in 2014, there is plenty to do in KS1. It is well known the importance of MfL exposure to the very young leaners (VYL).


MY FIRST STEP IN CREATING DIGITAL GAMES FOR VYL


A few months ago I attended a webinar where six years old were creating digital games with the support of their very inspiring teacher of English Ozge Karaoglu.

This is the result of her school work

Last week I tried my first attempt of creating a virtual game with my 3 year old daughter's drawings. She loved it and I knew this would be an amazing way for preschool kids to practise their Spanish at home. However excited i feel about technology for learning, I support free screen preschools as best for their general develoment.

These apps are meant for home use only!

The learner is 15 years old, bilingual (Portuguese/English), and currently home educating and preparing for taking GCSEs in June 2018. It is the first time the student is taking Spanish lessons and started as a  complete beginner. What I really like in the letter shown below is the accuracy. The language is appropriate for the situation and purpose of communication. The learner uses what learns in other subjects (i.e. English lessons) and applies this confidently.  Tarea: Completa la carta.

Some groups got distracted by technology and lost focus on the learning intention of the task. -children need to interact first with a physical tool: ie such as a wooden clock before trying to use a clock with the iPad. -Child age doesn't seem to be a concern for using technology. Year 1 groups (4 years old) responded really well to an app and played a talking game with the iPad with great success. SO.. I have started to use my iPad in the classroom for the ONLY purpose of recording the children's work digitally. And it works.. The Classroom atmosphere has changed and kids really work hard because they know I will take a pic at the end of the task. Try it!  Finally, I have created a gmail account so that my KS2 students can send me their home work via email. Also, something a learned is that mlearni...
