Twitter Tips: for Teachers & Educators | Technology Enhanced Learning Blog - 1 views

      Does anyone know anything more about applications for shortening URLs? Any use for them other than for Twitter use?
    • srafuller
       
      I've used goo.gl which is Google's URL shortener. I like it because it also generates a QR code. The code can then be printed out and used for listening practice (the project that I used it with was a recorded dialogue uploaded to YouTube).
  • automated accounts that don’t have any visible purpose, someone who has nothing in common with you
  • looking at their follower/updates list; if they are following 10,000 people, have 20 followers, and only 1 update then I’d safely say it’s an automated account and can be ignored!

  • manage your Twitter
  • pull conferences and/or training together
    • klmcguinness
       
      Pull classrooms, class periods, departments, etc. More centralized than a shared Google doc? I'm thinking yes and participants will be forced to be brief.
  • engaging your followers on their content
  • No one likes a smart-arse
  • this means you can easily collate tweets together
  • you’ll end up learning from your learners.
  •  
    Karen, I use a shortener when I have a very long URL - even to include in an email, or to advertise something I want people to go to (a survey I did) and some shorteners will let you pick your own ending so it can be something recognizable rather than random letters. I think Twitter does this automatically for you now.

11 Awesome Chinese Blogs for Chinese Learners - 2 views

    • iwenyang
       
      I found that it is so critical to learn the language through the discovery of culture.  It is when you understand the culture you learn to view things in different perspective and open your mind to the language.
    • yflanders
       
      I love this website, love the way to learn the language through the culture and your interest. Thank you so much for introduced this to us.
  • Another great resource for learners of any level are Chinese blogs.  They cover living, working and travelling in China, Chinese life and culture, and of course the Chinese language itself.

    • kjjsk8
       
      I thought that this was a cool graphic organizer for character traits rather than doing a traditional way of listing/t-chart/ven-diagram/etc.
    • yflanders
       
      Very creative idea, I would love to try it out with my class. Thanks for sharing.
  • Furthermore, it connects to English Arts and my unit on describing people.
    • kjjsk8
       
      This connects to my Legends and Myths unit and helps me assess content and not just language.
    • srafuller
       
      I like this idea - I'd like to try this with my Level 1 students. We have a children's version of Don Quijote that might lend itself to this. Something else to plan!

      Colleen has presented on the Mirroring Project in some of my classes. It seems to have impressive results for international students' pronunciation and presentation skills.
  • Step 1: Identify major pronunciation challenge
    • lars3969
       
      This is the "before" video for an international graduate teaching assistant.
  • Step 2: Choose appropriate model
    • lars3969
       
      Typically, students choose a TED speaker whose style they want to emulate.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Step 4: Mirror the original recording.
    • lars3969
       
      The goal here is for the international student to copy the TED speaker as much as possible. They should think about pronunciation, intonation, stress, and gesture.
  • speaker with strong non-native rhythm and intonation patterns.

      I don't know how to un-highlight. Oh well!
