Nik's Learning Technology Blog: Managing behaviour in the digital age - 4 views
-
-
I was expecting something totally different when I clicked on this article. Teaching at a community college, I thought it might be about online behavior on a discussion board assignment or something online and collaborative. Even though it was about something else, I found this tool to be fascinating and thought if I taught in the K-12 system, this would be a great tool.

This is quite a complex tool and creates a lot of data, so I think it’s going to take a bit of getting used to for teachers and perhaps a bit of training too.

I've Been Using Evernote All Wrong. Here's Why It's Actually Amazing - 1 views

You can share any note in Evernote with other people—even if they aren't Evernote users! So it's actually great for this.
-
The second type of bookmark is the one I use for Evernote. It's bookmarking stuff that you want to reference later, but not the kind of stuff you visit every day. Does that make a little more sense?
-
Forgot to mention my third type of bookmark, which are full articles I send to Readability/Pocket/Instapepr for reading later. That's more for pleasure reading than reference, which is what I use Evernote for.
-
I used to use Evernote a while ago for a staff writer/communications job I held in grad school. It helped a great deal with keeping my boss informed on my progress on news stories and for making suggestions. After reading this, I want to go back to it. I remember how organized it made me feel-- I'm sure I could use a lot more of that as a teacher! Thanks for sharing. Glad that Evernote is back on my radar-- with so much more to it than I remember!

Thanks for sharing! I love her comment "The digital native is a myth." This is exactly what my colleagues and I have been noticing as our school went 1:1. Students understand how to use tech for social media and gaming but not as a tool for school.
-
Looks like the perfect video to watch as a prelude to doing the hard work of shifting a course to online format. The essential reminder for me: "Pick a few tools and use them over and over again." Better for students, better for us....

I have used vocaroo before. It is extremely user friendly. There is not need to set up an account!
-
Isis, I wanted to comment on this tool, stating I like the fact that is free and one does not need an account. Anyways, I wanted to add sticky note but I accidentally clicked on Vocaroo and the page popped up on my screen ready for me to provide my voice. Pretty cool!
-
-
Vocaroo is a free service that allows users to create audio recordings without the need to install any software. You don't even have to create an account to use Vocaroo. All you need to provide is a microphone. I used the microphone built into my MacBook to make the recording below. To create a recording just go to Vocaroo.com, click record, grant Voca
-
roo access to your mic, and start talking. After completing your recording, Vocaroo gives you the choice to publish it or to scrap it and try again. Vocaroo provides the option to embed the recording anywhere.

a student who has one or two or three friends, and prefers to go deep with their friendships instead of being one of a big gang, there’s nothing wrong with that at all, in terms of it being a predictor for adulthood.
-
If the kid is perfectly happy the way they are, they need to get the message that the way they are is cool.
-
make sure to build quiet time into the school day, especially when kids are younger. Have 15 minutes set aside every day where the students just read.
-
challenge teachers to rethink what they mean by class participation and start thinking of it as classroom engagement instead.

I agree this statement of "Number one would be to make sure to build quiet time into the school day, especially when kids are younger. Have 15 minutes set aside every day where the students just read." Question: As a classroom teacher, I am with my students 42 minutes per day, how can I take almost half of this time for reading? Shouldn't this issue be addressed as a whole school wide??
-
I agree with you Diane - that would be way too much time for reading in just your class. In some classes, I do a 5 - 10 minute "free-writing" exercise that is individual. It seems like you'd need to scale the time so that it's appropriate for your class.

-
A lot of students who might be reticent at first will feel emboldened by having first discussed it with a partner.
-
Small-scale socializing. Socializing in pairs and small groups.
-
Wow, just imagine how much calmer the world could be if classrooms were set up to allow for multiple temperaments as well as learning styles?! Also, the think-pair-share concept is fantastic; I've been using the "alone-paired-large group" sequence for language learners in groups since I got my CELTA certification and it's been hugely successful. Nobody wants to be wrong in public, and when learners have a chance to discuss it with a partner first, they are more likely to share their ideas.

We don't "parse" verbs in Spanish... I don't really know what that is... conjugate? We also don't do much translating... I wonder how a person could use this idea in a more communicative way?
-
Now I read it - I should have known it was a Latin teacher talking about parsing...
-
It could be like a waterfall of tweets... hablar hablo hablas habla hablamos hablais hablan. Teacher calls out the verb and tense and each student (or student group) tweets in the collection of conjugations (parses??).
