Error correction and repair moves in synchronous learning activities | International Jo... - 2 views

  • This study explores the deployment of correction strategies and repair moves in synchronous learning activities in an online English course.
    • barichetti
       
      This article looks at the question from a more theoretical standpoint.
  • When asked to identify the benefits of the synchronous learning activities concerning the correction of errors, the participants point out that events and actions are unpredictable in the online lessons and the online interviews, which provide students with an opportunity to stretch their command of the language.
  • The results from the present study show that the preferred correction strategies are explicit corrections and recast.

      Recasting during synchronous activities as a way to correct errors or misunderstandings from asynchronous activities.

      Yes- the way it happens in the real world!

    I appreciate the data around this-- Will be helpful with my student/ family communications about the 'how, why and when' of corrections.

  • All it takes is a QR reading app on a smartphone to quickly and instantly hear the student’s voice.
  • On Wheel Decide, teachers can type in the words that they want displayed on the wheel and on each click the wheel spins and lands on a random color.

    Instagram is something I haven't looked at at all - it would be interesting to see how / if others use it for school
  •  
    This has multiple ideas --many of which we have already seen!
  •  
    It is a great summary for technology tools. Some of them we have already started in class, and some of them I will definitely explore in the future!

      I love this idea - I am not sure how to create it; ask me next week! I could see this being used as a way to teach culture and language!
  • make a decision
  •  
    I was drawn to this because the title was intriguing:) The idea of the app is an interesting one, although my first reaction in the example one here is that there are potentially a lot of stereotypes being (re)produced. I would be curious what you do with it!

    I like how useful this tool is for engaging students, pushes them to develop skills faster, for assessments and to avoid the "drill and kill" process that is demotivating.

The NEW Google Forms: 9 classroom uses | Ditch That Textbook - 2 views

    Google Forms - new version, and classroom use ideas from Matt's blog
  •  
    I've used google forms for sending surveys to staff before. I've NEVER thought about how cool it would be to use for students and collecting answers on quizzes or analyzing the answer responses they submit. I probably would use this more if I was teaching in the upper grades... Any ideas for K-2 ESL uses??

College 2.0: 'Social-Media Blasphemy': An Academic Adds 'Enemy' Feature to Facebook - C... - 2 views

  •  
    Is FaceBook too "nice"??
  •  
    Fascinating that Facebook does not want to add a dislike button because of advertisers. I am not sure that an "enemy" button taps into critical thinking, how about a disagree button? And then you can explain in the comment section why.

      I have taken the plunge with this one. My students are using their Spanish names for their screen names. Special accents are pretty easy to insert in this platform.

    It looks interesting, Charles! You'll have to let us know later on how things are going and what kinds of things you found worked well in that environment! Thanks for sharing the site.

      Cool!! If anyone is looking to see how a hangout could work, and you speak Spanish or Chinese, maybe try this out! 
  • The idea is simple: I want to host a public Hangout (so anyone can join) and people may come in and practice with me any one of the three languages I speak (Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, and yes English too!).  I’m not counting Japanese yet because I still can’t really produce Japanese effectively.

      I don't know if everyone knows how diverse Minnesota really is. Not just hotdish and lutefisk!
  •  
    As many as 145 languages are spoken in Minnesota public schools. This fall, students with the University of Minnesota's School of Journalism and Mass Communication are working with MPRNews to explore that classroom diversity -- and sharing a bit of what they find as they go.
  •  
    Incredible. I knew Minnesota is diverse.. you just need to go outside and see it. But, data shown in this page is amazing. I also have read some of the other posts. I think that this could be a good resource for high school or college because it shows facts, and authentic stories.
