Using a whiteboard app to practise vocabulary

Help your learners set a learning goal and reflect on their performance using a drawing and description task.

primary secondary independent learning voice recording self-assessment

With support from you, even younger learners can set goals and say whether they have achieved them. Voice-recording tools allow learners to record themselves speaking, listen back and assess their performance. In this lesson, learners use Doceri to record themselves describing a person they draw. They set a vocabulary target and then listen back to assess whether they have achieved it.
