Lesson on 26 March

We met again just after the trip to Turkey. We spent some time on discussing the trip, the meeting and the workshops and what everybody had learned during the trip.  We also looked at the exercises created in Quizlet.

The topics for the lesson included
1) sharing photos using Picasa web albums, and
2) uploading and editing videos on YouTube.

We have inserted the basic instructions for YouTube on the Instructions page of this blog. We will continue to work on YouTube in our next meeting in April.

Homework for next lesson: do the new Quizlet exercises, try out some of the listening activities on http://esl-lab.com, and experiment with videos on YouTube.

Basic video editing on YouTube
