Rewordify for better learning and understanding texts

Rewordify is a useful free tool which can be used  by learners when reading.

Here is the link to the tool: https://rewordify.com/.

It is a modern tool which can be used by  teachers teaching  English and  to help their learners.
It can help to understand and summarize texts but it is also useful for learning new  words or for developing the  reading strategies of learners who are  learning on their own.


Here are some inteesting  videos showing us what you can do with this free tool:




 
 


I want to thank  Shelly  Sanchez Terrell who introduced this tool in one of her fabulous webinars online and the tutors  working in a  course by Zanichelli in Italy who have reminded me that  this tool can enhance the  students' reading   strategies.  I will write about this course in one of my next posts.

Safer Internet Day




6th February is   " Safer Internet Day". I have done one  Mooc about  this event which involves schools and educators.

I found this interesting video which I am going  to share with my students as they are often online and need to be more aware of the risks they might  have to face when living and working online.

Watch the video and  think about  what we should teach our students.
