This activity is for the 5th graders and for the Countries unit.                                             It is a session from our Guess the Countries activity.

What is Lumi? First of all, I would love to give information about Lumi before introducing our activity. With Lumi you can create, edit and view interactive HTML elements (H5P packages) in your desktop environment. You can choose from over 40 content types (templates), which include interactive videos and all common quiz types such as fill-in-the-blanks, multiple choice questions. You don't need any programming knowledge to work with Lumi!   Lumi/Interactive Video We wanted to prepare an interactive activity with the song we chose for practicing conditionals.

Today I would like to give some information about it. Exit Ticket What is SLACK? Slack is a workplace messaging tool  through which you can send messages and files. This means that Slack is an instant messaging tool. These add-ons are not important for using Slack as the main feature is all about communicating with colleagues.  There are two types of chat in Slack: direct message or DM (person-to-person chat), and channels (group chat).
