      Mashups is an amazing tool that helps to combine video clips with interactive online exercises to create tasks for your students. Also the students can create their own activities to share with the class. And easily leverages Viewpoint, YouTube, and SMILE to make new language learning activities

    Mashup is a great tool and the students like it too.

    Thanks for posting this; Audio Dropbox would be a useful tool for practicing leaving voicemails, etc.

Technology and Teaching: Finding a Balance | Edutopia - 5 views

  • I've used Google Drive nearly every year that I've taught. In my opinion, it's one of the best tools to impact the writing process since the red pen. In the classroom, Google Drive can be leveraged in a variety of ways. However, this post is about finding a happy balance between teaching and integrating technology. The last time I used Drive, I created a shared class folder with students before the first day of school. I populated it with dated folders and assignments that all students had access to. Similarly, I had students share a folder with me for homework on their first day. This folder would be their digital dropbox.

      I use google drive and google folders as an essential part of my teaching too. Stuxents notes are also in a folder within the folder created by me. Google classrooms folders are also there.

  • The Tools That Help
    • Diane Nordin
       
      Nice list of tools that can be used with (or without) Skype.
  • Skype is one more free and infinitely useful tool that educators can add to their toolbox
  • 1. Use it to collaborate with other classrooms.
  • 3. Enable participation (and catch-up) for students outside of the classroom.
  • 2. Use it to conduct expert interviews.
  • Q&A or more of a lecture
  • doing some research and coming up with questions in advance, so they have an opportunity to interact with the expert and learn more.
  • Students will get a glimpse into different career options and learn a little more about their peers, and parents get a chance to be more involved with the class
  •  
    The expert interviews are something I need to do more of. Love the idea of a virtual Career day. Would be a good way to keep alums connected.

Facebook and Twitter are creating a vain generation of self-obsessed people with child ... - 3 views

  •  
    I don't think that the facebook craze has effected us THAT much, goodness!!! I am 22 and am part of this generation, and I can say that most of my friends and I have grown out of the facebook phase, we aren't obsessed like we were at the end of high school and start of college.
  •  
    An amusing article ... and perhaps with some degree of truth to it ... but I am unsure why the opinion professor of pharmacology who has done no research on the topic warrants an article.

Thinkquest - (Facebook for elementary??) « The Techie Classroom - 4 views

    • Erika Sass
       
      Has anyone used Thinkquest? It looks like a great way to introduce elementary students to social networking in a safe way. I also posted a great site that does online safety and cyberbulling in 15 minutes lessons with Garfield cartoons for kids.
    • anonymous
       
      Yes, I have used it primarily with middle school students and I have found it quite useful. The last time I used it was several years ago to set up a list of websites to use with a webquest, a very simple and easy thing to do.
  •  
    "Facebook" option for elementary?
  •  
    This looks pretty promising. I also think the connections you made on this site are great - asking for resources and someone commented back with great resources on kids safety on the internet. Awesome!!
  •  
    I also liked the description. I will make an account to explore it and see if it is something we can use with older students as well.

  • I now turn to Twitter friends for help in the same way that I turn to the teachers on my hallway. Recently, a friend in my Twitter feed pointed me to a great strategy for structuring classroom discussions, a practice I'd been struggling with (http://angelacunningham.wordpress.com/2009/05/teaching-students-to-dialogue.html).
    • senora heebsh
       
      Yes!
    • Lorraine Effler
       
      I can see this being a great use of Twitter.
    • Kim Fynboh
       
      this would work!
  • he primary reason for my inability to embrace differentiation as a teacher was that, until recently, I'd never experienced differentiation as a learner. Like most practitioners, I've spent too much professional development time sitting in lectures delivered to entire faculties. No one offered preassessments, tiered lessons, or learning contracts to my colleagues or me.

      How true is that...Back to school fall workshops anyone?

Educators Test the Limits of Twitter - 2 views

  •  
    While this article is three years old, it still has some ideas that pertain to our group's discussion. The "Many Voices" story is worth looking at.
  •  
    Hi Jan, Good article--it definitely addresses the common concerns and potential problems of using Twitter with students. I liked the part about the kids building a story with students from China! I also thought it was a good idea that the teacher created one account and then shared the password. I wonder how he achieved this on an international level? Thanks for sharing!
  •  
    I checked out the "Youth Twitter" website - unfortunately it looks like it has disappeared, but there must be others out there?? Anyone know of others?
