We organised the class in groups (2-3 students max.)

To get the final product, we explained about Storyjumper and Prixton. In our case we used the first one because the level of English is not high enough.

We explained about the use of this tool and how they must work with. We prepared the work in their notebooks before doing it at the computer. We also searched the pictures we chose for the final project.

As they have access to computers at school, they can work in pairs or groups of three persons.

The goal of this activity is to introduce the final work to the other students in English, the application of the learning through the screen has a positive effect on the rest of students.

Most of the groups have worked the tool through the teacher account instead of create a new one in each case, it helped to save time and not to find the activity to long.

Creativity and the use of imagination was encouraged in a simple way. First I showed them how to create a new visual book on my own. They followed all the necessary steps to do it and took notes of the comple process.

They enjoyed the whole work: learn about a new tool, consider the way of learning in a different way, put into practice the writing through computers. 

I would change the time we needed to do it, we use it only 2 weeks (4 sessions). Next time I would work, at least, for one month (8-10 sessions).

They shared the finished projects with the links given by the tool itself, and they exposed to the group during one session. After their expositions, they discussed and debated about the things they most liked and enjoy, and characters and other aspects they would have done in a different way.
