Those who follow a KO approach in MFL, did you know your parallel texts work a treat in @textivate and @teach_vid?

Here's an example of a @textivate resource based on one of Elo Carrière's GCSE French KOs, "Comment est ta famille?":

And here's the same text as a @teach_vid resource:

"Comment est ta famille?"

TeachVid - Resource: Comment est ta famille? (GCSE French)

And here's the @textivate equivalent:

Well, since that "went wrong" (thanks twitter), here's a link to the "La technologie" @TeachVid resource again:

TeachVid - Resource: La technologie

The @textivate versions are super simple to set up. It takes about 10-15 mins max to add everything, simple by copying and pasting from the KO:
• chunked text
• parallel text
• vocab items
• text-to-speech

The @teach_vid resources are super quick to set up too. It's just making the video that takes a bit longer.

You end up with lots of combined dictation / translation activities directly linked to sections of the video / audio.
