Description
In this task, a group of fourth-grade learners use a combination of two apps to create a virtual tour of London. The final outcomes were displayed in their classroom at the Doors Open Day at their school. In the pre-task phase, the learners worked on the vocabulary by reading small texts related to six famous sights of London. They were then put into groups of two and each group was assigned one touristic sight. In the core-task phase, the learners had to take a photograph of their assigned sight, and then make a photograph talk using the Chatter Pix app. This app allows the user to record a 30 seconds long audio recording. The learners had the freedom to choose what to say, using the original text as a guideline. Due to the nature of the app, they could speak, listen and then estimate on their own if they should repeat the recording or not. The animated photographs were then exported as video files and embedded into the Book Creator page into a picture of the map of London.
