It's awesome!

A fast way to create cartoons

If you want to create and share comic strips with your students you should visit this site:  http://www.toondoo.com/ .

It's very easy to use and I'm sure the kids will love it. 

Voice thread

This is a tool that lets you create collaborative presentations by collecting comments - both text and voice. It's very useful for English teaching because students can choose a picture and describe it by recording their voices. It's easy to use and very funny.

The site is https://voicethread.com.

I hope you enjoy it.

Mind Map

Another useful site recommended in the course I'm taking is https://bubbl.us/.
In this site students can create mind maps. We can ask them to categorize new vocabulary, summarize a text they've read, make an oral presentation, organize their ideas to write an essay, etc.
Here is an example:

Interesting sites to create an avatar and practice English at the same time

Check the sites and my avatars!
