Session 4 Reflection - The tools for vocabulary teaching and learning

I learned how to use a couple of tools to teach vocabulary tonight. First, I created some flash cards, spelling and a test by using Quizlet. When I typed the words and definition, it would make all the above things in just a second. It makes teaching vocabulary in a quick and easy way. Students can access all these in their tablet or ipad and they could learn the vocabulary and do the assessment.
Second, I tried to use Bubble us to create a mind map. It's pretty easy to make a mind map. I would like to use it as a pre-writing task. Students can actually create a mind map before they start writing anything. They could do it individually or as groups. I think it's more fun to do it in this way than do it with paper and pencil. Students would be more motivating and encouraging in their pre writing task. We also took a quick look of Padlet. It's another tool to teach vocabulary. I would like to use it to make a matching game or categorizing game for students to learn new vocabulary in class.
Going to school after a long day of working has been tough but I do enjoy what I can get from the lessons. Being inspired is great :)
