Just before Christmas, I was interviewed by Naace about our use of web 2.0 applications to enhance the teaching and learning of Modern Foreign Languages at our school, Nottingham High School.
The interview focuses on the project we were working on at that time – scripting a dialogue and then using that script to create an animated film using Xtranormal, a free web application that allows users to create and edit animations using text-to-speech technology – and on whether web applications such as this one can successfully and easily be adopted by schools to improve learning outcomes, as well as enjoyment.
You can see examples of the final product created by students here.
Your comments and thoughts about this interview and the use of web applications in general are very welcome.
