Favourite sites and resources

This website is particularly useful for worksheets and video lessons. Better suited for younger learners, I often use video lessons to complement and solidify the acquisition of grammatical notions, directly as part of lessons, or as part of extra activities for work plans.

Kahoot has become a must in education and teachers from all subjects can make it a fun part of their lesson planning. I use it mainly to solidify, review, and drill grammatical notions without students feeling the tediousness that comes with static worksheets. Kahoot has greatly evolved over the years and now a Kahoot+ subscription lets students write their own answers and complete puzzles, as newly added question types.

Classcraft is a great tool to manage and gamify the classroom. It can help with managing student behaviour but can also be used to communicate with parents and plan extensive units and lessons that feel like adventures to students.

Liveworksheets.com is a great site to use with fast working students who often finish their work before their peers. The main benefit of using this site is that the worksheets it contains have an auto correct button which also highlights the students' mistakes. This means that these students can do and correct the exercise autonomously.

Pixabay is a great platform to supplement the creation of your educational materials with royalty free visuals, including clipart and high-resolution images. I use the platform to create Google slide presentations and worksheets for learning and evaluation situations.

Edpuzzle is another great website to overlay videos with questions which can then be viewed and completed as a whole group or as individual activities. Moreover, activities can be assigned to groups of students via Google Classroom.
