Group 1: I'm Listening!
What I liked the most about this wiki is that they give loads of useful links to impove learners' listening skills, including links to radio stations and several videos. Also, they were the only group that wanted to use their wiki both as an additional element to give support to a common teaching environment (meeting agenda) and as a tool aimed towards autonomous learning (activity tracking sheets). The only problem during their presentation was that some videos, as it turned out, were not suitable for children.
Group 2: Listkids
A colorful wiki desgined to attract kids' attention. It includes a variety of videos and music for both children and teenagers. In my opinion, the main problem in this wiki is that, even when it was created for kids (using many images and icons) there are some sections that seem to be aimed for teachers or adults (primarily the activities section).
Group 3: English4kids
Group 4: Listenings and videos
I really liked this wiki. It is well organized in three different levels (pre-intermediate, intermediate and advanced) and each of the levels has a "listenings" and "videos" subsections. Each video features a recommended activity that goes together with it. The listening part of the wiki is basically a list of links to another website, so it is not as impressive as the videos subsection.
Group 5: Writing goes First
Group 6: Clilsports
Uses images for kids when they claim to have created a wiki for teachers, anyways the division in sections is kind of complete, even when there are pages with just links on it. They lack a forum but use the commenting device in the wiki to recieve opinions from other teachers in order to improve their site. The avoidance of formality it’s a good point.
Group 7: Great Job
It is centered in jobs-related vocabulary learning for children. They offer links and lists of websites, readings and videos. They rate the links they propose using stars and explain the positive and negative points of each link. It’s good that they included a “go back to main” link at the end of every page and a link to a website that teaches not only how to write but also how to pronounce a word.
Group 8: Informal English
Quite complete with both explanations and links. Created for students and teachers, it is a resource page. It features many useful links and sections on several topics including internet English or slang dictionaries. The link to a chat is very useful. This wiki helps people learn through fun activities.
