How is everything going?
Today I would like to share with you the video I recorded using Flipgrid to take part in an international educational collaborative project called The World Is My Audience (TWIMA 8). In this project you record a video telling something about your life and share it online so every project participant can watch it. Besides, the project has a hashtag on Twitter so you can share your video there too.
Flipgrid is a social learning platform that allows teachers to ask a question about any topic and the students respond to it in a video. Students are also able to comment on their classmates' videos creating a kind of web of discussion. It is an easy tool to use and also it is safe for students. When the teacher logs in and asks the question, the website will provide him/her a code which students will use to respond to the question.
In this video, I explained why I decided to live and study in Australia for 3 months and how was the experience. As well, I told you about a funny thing that happened to me before I moved to Australia. In the beginning, it was difficult to live so far away from my family, get used to living with new people and speak in English all the time. But without any doubt, it was an amazing experience!
This educational project is fascinating because it allows people from different countries to tell their stories. Moreover, when you take part in this project you can comment on the videos and give them likes. This is wonderful because you can share content and interact with the other partners, so you feel like part of it.
I think this kind of projects help us to meet new people around the world and interact with them. Furthermore, projects such this one give the opportunity to students to develop their communicative skills through ICTs.
I hope you like my video.
See you soon!
