Thinglink

Thinglink enabled me to create links related to Shakespeare's five most prolific tragedies; Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth in a single post. This will allow students to have quick access to these plays in a single post that is an interactive image which provides basic information about them. The link is below: https://www.thinglink.com/scene/1189250669056360450

HP Reveal

HP Reveal is an app that enables augmented reality to occur, which can also be used in a classroom environment. It is a simple app that can be used without difficulty; however, the diversity of animations and objects can be upgraded to include much more. In this video, I have used this app to apply augmented reality on A1 level English vocabulary.  It is clearly one of the most engaging activities that I've tried for teaching basic vocabulary. As with the use of augmented reality, it is almost impossible for one's attention to be shifted to something else.

Duolingo

Duolingo is another popular language learning app and it is the most downloaded one in the world so far. It offers 85 different courses in 24 languages. Gamification is poured into each lesson; your hearts keep your lesson alive and when you answer incorrectly, you lose a heart. If you run out of hearts, you simply just start over again. There's a streak count to motivate you to stay on track by displaying the number of days you spent learning a language in a row. It has in-lesson grading so you can immediately see if your answers are correct or not. Each lesson includes a variety of skills such as speaking, listening and translation etc. with multiple choice challenges. Additionally, it can be easily used in schools as thousands of teachers are already using it for their students' development.
