Estas propuestas didácticas a partir de cortos, ofrecen una excelente oportunidad de trabajar los modos interpretativo e interpersonal al mismo tiempo.
Lindo recurso! Noto que es del 2013 y que los creadores todavía no se habían imaginado una realidad como la nuestra. Dicho esto, qué fácil sería pasar sus ideas y materiales para uso en el salón digital. Gracias por compartir!
Online distance learning is impersonal and has the potential to violate personal privacy. Even a matter as seemingly straightforward as turning on web cameras can raise difficult questions: Are cameras needed to humanize the lesson? Do they force an uninvited intimacy, revealing the realities of students’ and faculty members’ living situations?
Important ruminations for instructors at urban public universities who are moving to online teaching. (Not specific to FL teaching per se, but it's well worth our bearing some of these caveats in mind....)
Instead of you being their main source of language input… put your authentic resources to work. I started playing with Google Classroom and here’s a snapshot of what you could do to PLAN and ORGANIZE learning.
This is an example of using authentic videos for an interpretive assignment. We study house-related vocabulary in ch.6B of "Autentico 1" (the textbook we use with our Spanish 2 students). An activity like this would work in that unit.
Megan Smith wrote about ways to adapt a lesson about houses for a traditional class to one for an online class. She included interpretive, interpersonal and presentational activities.
I love the way she set-up these examples. Has anyone done something similar? What was your experience with the 20% Free Time? I'm considering something similar in the "fall"... which is coming up quickly. No matter the schedule, I've always liked the idea, 20% Free/Genius Hour. If you have experience with this, I would love to hear about how you set them up.. and assessed them.
I have been waiting to find more information on Scaffolding since I first heard this term at the ACTFL conference in 2018. My biggest criticism is that most of the German textbooks do NOT provide reading text with scaffolding. I rewrote many articles myself. I love the SSS.
This tool can create and add beautiful videos with photos, text and music for presentational or other communicative activities. The user can begin with a template and ready made images or start from scratch with their own images.
hat anxiety is eased when there aren’t dozens of eyes watching.The presentation can be re-recorded if necessary.It helps students watch the amount of time they’re presenting.The webcam can record their faces as they speak alongside their slides.
Unfortunately, students tend to dislike writing assignments. With this tool, you can turn regular writing into a part of a bigger, more attractive project.
developing visual literacy is essential to becoming digitally literate
This Web page introduces a blended learning approach to learning about Internet safety for English Language Learners in Grades 4 & 5. Initially, this project began with a simple teacher guided collaborative lesson that explored building a class iGoogle site that students accessed online.
Students collaborate with guests on projects to gain diverse expertise.
If a participant has a comment or question, he/she should type "!" for a comment or "?" for a question.
f a participant wishes to change the topic of conversation, this is signaled by typing "new?" or "new!". If no one objects by typing "!" or "?" and proceeding with the present topic
It's good to see the list of types of "interaction". It's something I'll want to go back to to guide not just what I want students to do... but, what I want us to do TOGETHER.
The "Educause" links don't work for me.
My first chance to read Florencia's article, made me realize that oftentimes students' OT use is driven by what they perceive to be our unrealistic expectations of them. She offers a very practical strategy for accommodating OT in the classroom while reducing student motivation to resort to it.
Make Beliefs Comix doesn't require students to register on the site in order to create, share, and print their comics.
The thing that Make Beliefs Comix has been known for is its support for multiple languages. Previously, that feature was limited to six languages. That feature has been expanded to support any language that you can type on your keyboard.
hey collaboratively wrote a summary using Google Docs and text-chat (Task 1) and Google Docs and voice-chat (Task 2)
ack were the primary mediating factors on the qualities of collaboration. The findings may help explain why collaborative performance varies and may provide insights into how web-based collaborative writing activities can be designed and facilitated in L2 classes.
een shown to be no guarantee of "change agency" (Donnison, 2007: 10). Pre-service teachers may profess adherence to learner-centred forms of teaching and yet "simultaneously (…) maintain conflicting cultural models of traditional and conservative models of schooling"
