Hi everyone,

I've just seen the videotutorials. They are all of them really useful. I love learning watching videos. It's the best way to learn in my opinion.

I did the Tagxedo task using the vocabulary about crimes in Unit 3. I've used a custom shape of thief and I also did a website. In this way you'll able to see much better each word, just moving the cursor over the image and each word will get bigger.

I hope you enjoy it.

2. With storybird.com I can create a fantastic story using text and images.

3. Glogster is a way to create an aficher using text, images, audio and even video. It's really cool!

4. I'll use this aplications because while you're using them you're having fun, and also because it's a good content for a website.

Hi

I´m Ana. I would like to recomend you to use the tagxedo because it is another way of study. I just have done one using link words vocabulary. I did really enjoy doing it. I was thinking to print it and hung it around my house to help me to memorise the vocabulary.

If you haven´t use it yet, don´t hesitate to have a go. It´ll take you a little bit of time but it´s worth doing it.

Enjoy yourself.
