1. Tripwow Name of teacher: Assimina Lambrakou Country: Greece Age of pupils: 12-15 Web 2.0 Tool: Tripwow Link of the tool: http://tripwow.tripadvisor.com Description of the tool: it’s a web2.0 tool that let me add photos from several pages of mine even my computer So, it’s easy to collect and add photos using folders from my facebook profile or flickr etc. I can add any music using tripwow’s library or my music on my computer! I can add descriptions under my photos saying a few things about them I can use this tool for many reasons as to make a presentation of myself or my country’s places even my school or neighborhood!

Description of the activity: we have a project in collaboration with a Polish school that’s about “our local pearls of nature” There we had to present ourselves using a collaborative and interactive tool As I had tried tripwow before this project and found it rather easy and amusing, I decided to show my pupils how it works So, I arranged two lessons inviting any student that wanted to learn to join me after school’s lessons After it, Chris, my student of grade C, used tripwow to present himself to the other pupils in the project Then, he helped two more students to do the same. And one of them helped another one and so on! The only thing I had to do again is to show again the way to post informations under the photos! The step was made!!! My students worked on it and made the polish pupils do the same! 3
