In this month's Teacher Feature, Esther Hardman from Weald
of Kent Grammar School tells us how her students are getting
motivated by MYLO.
"Once the school and student accounts are set up, access to the
full range of language learning activities is easy. So far I've set
up a couple of class groups who have both taken the challenge of
getting up the rankings of points.
They have become very self motivated, one student gathering 1159
points within one week of first being introduced to the site, and
one other student having submitted two projects without me asking
her to do so. Both have done so at home, independent of teacher
instruction. In fact I'm having to keep up with them!
The variety of possible avatar creations is fantastic and each
student therefore gets their own identity on line, providing both a
safe way to take part in online activities, whilst also providing a
great motivation to continue through the different levels. I look
forward to working with it more."
