"It has me thinking about what it would mean to improve online classes. A few ideas come to mind: Use multiple platforms. I'm not against using an LMS as a central hub. However, I think it's valuable to experiment with the types of productivity tools you will actually use outside of a classroom. Use Google Docs to share ideas, create surveys, and ask questions. Use Google Hangouts to meet as a group. Go project-based. I haven't figured this out entirely with my first class but my hope is that we can go fully project-based in the same way that my face-to-face class is. In fact, the asynchronous nature of online classes actually means there is a better potential of creating a project-based culture that mirrors the way people actually work on projects. Make something together. I use a collaboration grid with co-creating and communicating on separate spectrums (x-axis) and multimedia and text on another spectrum (y-axis). This has been an effective way to think through collaborative tools that allow students to co-create. Embrace a synchronous/asynchronous blend: I love using Voxer because students can speak back and forth in the moment. However, if they miss it, they can listen to it later. The same is true of using a Google Hangouts On Air. Make it more connective. We tend to treat online instruction as if it is a linear process and we don't do enough to link things back and forth and connect ideas, resources, discussions and content creation in a seamless, back-and-forth nature. Incorporate multimedia. It's a simple idea, but I create a short video at the beginning of each week and I encourage students to create video and audio as well. This has a way of making things more concrete. There's something deeply human about hearing an actual human voice. I know, crazy, right? Go mobile. I don't simply mean use a smart phone. I mean assign some things that allow students to get out in the world and create videos, snap pictures,

QR voice es una práctica herramienta que genera un código QR de voz a partir de un texto escrito. No necesita registro y simplemente lo que uno tiene que hacer es teclear el texto que se esconderá detrás del QR generado en formato audio, de forma que cuando una persona lea dicho código con su dispositivo, lo que va a escuchar, es el audio procedente del texto que le hayamos tecleado.

Esta herramienta de traducción de voz, iTranslate Voice, nos permite hablar en varias lenguas extranjeras, más de treinta; leer y escuchar la traducción que arroja en el idioma que queramos.

"Teaching children according to their individual "learning style" does not achieve better results and should be ditched by schools in favour of evidence-based practice, according to leading scientists. Thirty eminent academics from the worlds of neuroscience, education and psychology have signed a letter to the Guardian voicing their concern about the popularity of the learning style approach among some teachers. ..."

"... El movimiento "Student Voice" parte del mundo anglosajón en los años 80 y considera imprescindible ayudar al alumnado a desarrollar su identidad a través de la participación, que puedan expresar lo que deseen, lo que les preocupa… y el reconocimiento de que en las propuestas de innovación educativa son "testigos expertos", además de la necesidad de prepararles como ciudadanas y ciudadanos de una sociedad democrática. ..."
