Collage makers

A couple of weeks ago an IH colleague posted about an online collage site in the #czelt facebook group.

She mentioned using it in a first lesson to make a class picture. That got me thinking about how easy and for what purpose online collage makers could be used.  A quick google shows a wide range of collage makers both paid and free to use. However I stuck with the suggested one, which was pictures2life. You need to make a free account to get the most out of it. Having done so you simply upload pictures and then choose a collage type. It’s as simple as that though you if you have more time then you can fine tune things.  While there is no embed feature, you can download your finished collage.

Could help with this please

On May 25th International House World will hold its second online teachers conference as part of the ongoing celebrations for 50 years of IH Teacher Training.

As part of the celebrations we intend to make aspects of the conference open to all, so watch out for details of that. We’d also like to have a running theme throughout the day based on the number 50.

Mentimeter

I came across http://mentimeter.com/ a couple of weeks ago from a facebook post.  It is one of those sites that allows you to poll people during a session or class. Unlike a lot of similar sites it does not require any subscriptions, annual plans and nor does it cost the price of a text to vote. I have wanted to include voting in my talks for a while but for the all the aforementioned reasons it could never be effectively done.  So simple it can work both for talks and in class (either online or face  to face). Simply go to the site, write your question and you get a unique URL.
