TIMETOAST : a wonderful way to improve the reading skill

When I was proposed this kind of activity I was doubtful about its execution, mainly because of the lack of technologies at my High School . There are only 15 laptops for all the students, and some of them do not work properly. Besides, they are not available for all the classes, since Tic sessions are the priority. I asked my students to carry out it at home, but most of them do not have computers. This is the main reason why I cannot attach any file. However, I would propose this task to be fulfilled with TIMETOAST.
Learning objectives
By means of this activity, students will develop both their reading skill and their creativity using new technologies.
Steps to follow
The procedure and steps to follow are the following ones: tudents are asked to choose an actor or actress. They must look for his/ her biography on the Internet. Later, they must use TIMETOAST to develop this actor´s/actress´ life, making emphasis on his/ her main movies. Here, they must write the plot/ main characters/ film director.
Advantages of using TimeToast for this activity
Obviously, the main advantage is the students´motivation. The mixture of new technologies and the English language makes this activity successful.
Things that you would change / improve next time
Computers and wi-fi connection should be compulsory in all the Educational Institutions from Andalucia
