Using Storify (organizing tool) in English
“Gathering information online and making an essay reflects the world of my students; they can use social media sources like Facebook but they mainly learn how to critically look at these Internet sources. The fact that their essay is coupled to a public profile, for peer review, also makes them more aware of the many readers of their work, this had an effect on, inter alia, their use of language. “
