According to the previous post, we understand that Scratch is a multi-purpose tool that can help us with a wide range of activities also we will find a fantastic community that could help us to shut down problems and is constantly building new solutions for new types of classes for subjects from Music to Physics, but what happen if I don't like Scratch and I want to use other ICT solution to apply Cooperative learning(CL) like H5P, Blogger, Pinterest or any other platform. Well, to be clear the only one that can stop you to use those tools for that purpose is yourself. Because to apply CL, you have to apply what you learn in the post "How to implement cooperative learning...", with a new ICT tool as we are going to show in the next lines on this post(the following examples are going to skip the formation of groups):
Use of H5P to apply CL
In the case of H5P, we will found a wide spectrum of solutions to teach a second language in a dynamic way that can be found more interesting by grown-ups students, because It has a more complex interface and It looks less childish than Scratch, but It's really simple to use once for a level B1 student or even an A2 student that requires scaffolding. Anyway, for this first example, the task for the student is to create a 'Drag and drop'(DAP) activity in which the teacher will provide them a theme and an example of how to do it plus example material, then the students in groups of 3 or 4 will have to develop their own DAP in wich one of the most important points is use created material in Paint or any other tool to create images. So the steps that the students will need to create their DAP after the explanation are:
1. Define who is going to create graphic content and who is going to create the DAP
2. Brain Storming to define what they are going to do.
Content Creators:
2.a.1 Define the tool for graphic content creation
2.a.2 Create the content 1 background image and text elements or images that are going to be part of the DAP
2.a.3 Ask if the content is accurate
- If not they have to fix
- if is they have to deliver the content to his partner
H5P Developers:
2.b.1 Create an H5P account in https://h5p.org
2.b.2 In the account page go to "try out H5P" or go direct to https://h5p.org/node/add/h5p-content, and search "Drag and Drop".
2.b.3 Students create the title and add the feedback and wait for the images
2.b.4 Upload the background image
2.b.5 Define the task and use the elements provided by their partners
2.b.6 Add drop zones
2.b.7 Add text or images that correspond to the drop zone
2.b.8 Save
3 Copy and paste the link of the job and send to the teacher email
