Teaching in the Online Classroom - 0 views

  •  
    "Each 45-minute webinar will feature clips of real educators teaching students remotely as we explore the most effective ways to engage and educate students in an online classroom." I expect these webinars will be available for some time after the COVID crisis ends, so this may be a good spot to learn more on blended and fully remote teaching. Reasonably price at $149 for a 15-hour course of study. The Teaching Channel has always had very high quality recordings of real classrooms.

Welcome to The Race Card Project! - The Race Card Project - 0 views

  •  
    "What you see here are candid submissions from people who have engaged in a little exercise. Here's how it works. Think about the word Race. How would you distill your thoughts, experiences or observations about race into one sentence that only has six words?" This National Public Radio blog makes the perfect starting point for a multicultural lesson for ESL/EFL students. The entries are sheer poetry and give a great deal of content to think about the issue of race and one's place in society, for better or worse. Each 6-word "poem" makes us, as one contributor said, "Look past race to underlying humanity."

Explain a Website demo video on Vimeo - 1 views

  •  
    Despite the explanatory text, this app is indeed ready to download for iPad ($0.99). This is a nice use of technology to explain other technologies. You go through a browser screen to a Website, then draw on the iPad screen to demonstrate functionality while the app records what you do. Publish to Evernote or YouTube. You will have to do your own audio over, however. What a cool app.

English Raven: Moodle Tutorial: Page design to avoid the 'scroll of death'... - 0 views

  •  
    "The idea here is to create a simple menu at the top of your Moodle course page that allows your learners to click and have only the relevant unit or cluster appear on the page. Essentially, this removes the 'scroll of death' issue if you find your learners are having to wade down through dozens of units to find something."
