I am so glad you found this post of mine useful. If you are interested in discovering more about creating a variety of blog activities in the classroom, apart from reading Barbara's blog, you can visit my blog page which is especially for teachers http://markaki-students.blogspot.com/p/posts-for-teachers.html or even watch some teacher training videos by Russell Stannard which invariably mention features/gadgets that can easily be embedded in blogs. http://www.teachertrainingvideos.com As for embedding a quiz, you can create one here http://www.mystudiyo.com as already mentioned in my post and then get the html code (offered upon the completion of your questions) which, in turn, will be pasted on the html modification area of your post. After that, it magically works on your blog! If you face further difficulties, please let me know. Thanks for leaving that comment! Hello there!

What could it be more interesting to kids than watching a real YouTube video during the lesson? Even the mere fact that they will be wearing headphones excites them! :) Exactly!

I can only imagine it would work for students. My niece and her friends continuously share youtube videos and I have seen them. They include the characteristics you mentioned above. Thank you for these tips! If students are already sharing then we need to capitalize on these moments and transform them into teachable moments. I read once that video in blogs boosts readerships!

I am afraid you need Internet access even for the quiz, unless you print it. Otherwise, students will not be provided with the correct answers and their score.

I'm definitely going to try them out with my students. In classes without internet, the quiz activities especially would be a great way to extend students' contact time with English during the time between lessons. Thanks for being so generous with your great ideas! I love these ideas Christina. I’m definitely going to try them out with my students.
