I normally make Slideshares of my presentations and add the audio for Slidecasts.

However, the lovely @eyebeams was UStreaming the MFL Show and Tell from Nottingham today so I’m able to embed the video of my presentation!

Hope you find it useful.  Although my pupils are primary aged and some of the ideas are very ‘primary centric’, I think that there are many things that secondary colleagues can take and adapt to their situations.  teh fun doesn’t have to stop at the end of KS2, you know ;o)

As I’m presenting at a British council conference in Madrid this weekend, I’ve been researching Voki and Voicethread and uses thereof.

I’ll post my presentation and notes etc after the event, but this particular Voicethread made by Silvia Tolisano aka Langwitches came to mind and I thought I’d share it now as I think it’s genius!

Basically, there are many photos contributed by people from around the world of something that is particular to their country – could be a tradition, a habit, a routine, a custom – in order to promote intercultural dialogue about our similarities and differences. People are invited to contribute – see the whatcoulditmean wiki for details – by uploading photographs and also by surmising what the photos might mean!

A simple idea but great fun and thought provoking too.
