Students introduced themselves using a post in a padlet which is an online billboard, then they worked in groups in class and described their school, their town and their Christmas tradition using "talking photos". To create the photos they first took photos then used an app called PicTalk to add the baloons.
The students had the chance to collaborate in small groups all of them gave their contribution to the work.
Here are the results

Students also created a quiz on their presentation for the students of the other schools.
