Disgrifiad

Over the course of several lessons, pupils focus on the theme ‘Tourism in the UK’. First they brainstorm different aspects of tourism in the UK, like popular cities or activities, food etc. Then they collect information on sites like Tripadvisor or Trivago on a specific city. They look for things to do and places to stay in order to work out an attractive vacation package for different target groups.

After reorganizing all the information on the collaborative writing tool Titanpad.com, the pupils start creating an attractive website (Tackk) with information about their destination. Back in class, small groups move from one station to another (carrousel style). Two students promote their travel destination to another group of ‘tourists”. They book the trip by filling out a reservation form in Google forms.

At the end, the ‘tourists’ discuss their notes and photos in groups and fill out peer evaluation forms. They review important vocabulary and expressions individually using Wrts.nl and Google Docs.

I liked working with Tackk. Whenever I was looking for a tool, it needed to be something I could learn myself in just a few minutes. If I needed more time, I just dismissed it. Tackk is visually attractive but very easy to use. Just by copy/pasting any link on the internet, pupils could add pictures, videos, maps, reviews, sounds… anything! What time does the airplane depart to destination x? Just copy/paste the link and Tackk will show not the link, but a visually attractive portal to the website. Pupils felt they were really creating their own websites and liked the fact that they could get really quick results and if they wanted to, that they could tweak it just a little bit more to be better than the other groups. The visual aspect makes it a great tool to use for presentations. We used tablets for this, which gave it an even more interactive feel.
Pupils at this Belgian secondary school create an attractive website (Tackk) with information on a city break to the UK. The website includes information like the hotel, interesting sights and activities. Back in class, students talk about their holiday destination and use Tackk to support their talks.
