Next up for Google Plus Hangouts: Sign language support - Online Video News - 1 views

      This really struck me because, as a hearing person, I take for granted that there might be issues for hearing-impaired people. It's so cool to me that developers are concerned about these users and are working to make their product a good one for them. This could also be relevant to those who wish to chat online with ASL "speakers" when they are trying to learn ASL!

How to Teach Remotely with Flipgrid - YouTube - 6 views

  •  
    I like the features of padlet and have personally used the platform in several webinars, but have yet to use the tool myself! I think that will definitely try this platform in the upcoming school year.

    Very useful. Thanks!
  •  
    I was thinking of using FlipGrid for next semester, so this came at the right time. Very clear and engaging presentation. Thank you!
  •  
    I will be exploring the Flipgrid for our ASL classes. This will be a helpful tool to use with students to sign their comments. No voice etc.....nice tool!
  •  
    This is a MUST! I'm saving this because this is a very useful tool for ASL classes!
  •  
    When I was video recording with Flipgrid interactively at the beginning of the training course, I already thought I found a very useful tool for my students of elementary Chinese in a hybrid class for the upcoming semester. Having watched this step-by-step YouTube introduction to it, I'm confident they are going to like this platform and be definitely benefited with all its video, audio, and drawing features in the remote interactive learning. Thanks for sharing this!
  •  
    This was a great explanation and i am definitely interested in using this for my students in the FALL.. i am realizing through this course how much more i retain if i am watching instructional videos as opposed to reading HOW TO.
  •  
    Thank you so much for sharing this! I've been discussing creating new FlipGrid assignments with my colleagues, but have never personally used it before. It seems like the least intimidating student video platform that I've seen so far. I love the snapchat-esque filters, stickers, etc... that users can play with.
  •  
    I am also thinking of trying it in the fall after I heard a lot of good things about it. I prefer it to VoiceThread (I really did not like the chaotic presentation of the different submissions). And it can be integrated into Canvas, but I still have to figure out the details of that (would I leave comments in FlipGrid or Canvas?).
  •  
    His videos are so helpful! Thanks for sharing. Does anyone know if Flipgrid integrates with Sakai? A big concern for me is to keep things simple and streamlined for students. Sending them information through different channels seems to just ask for things to get overlooked or lost. Thanks!
  •  
    It sound like this guy is in the right place at the right time! I love reading but honestly video tutorials can be sooo helpful and nice to watch when they are well produced! I've seen in his channel another tool I love and I haven't used for a while: Adobe Spark.

ASL in Academic Settings: Language Features - YouTube - 1 views

  •  
    This is a big issue we are facing in our community. This what I was mentioning about using media as academic resources. Also many different fields required a very specific vocabulary so often interpreters are not able to keep up with academic languages because they are taught the community language.

25 Strategies to Engage Students on Your Next Zoom Meeting | Hooked On Innovation - 15 views

  • A fun non-tech game to play is “Who’s who?”.  In this game, students privately message the teacher some facts about themselves and then the teacher reveals the clues. Students then write down their guesses as to who the person is based on the clues.
    • christasgould
       
      This could be a really fun way to build community during the first half of the semester on Zoom, if you are using it. It would be interesting to also do the Zoom poll option and give students a few options. They select the classmate that they think wrote the information.
  • Using the Flippity.net BINGO tool,
    • christasgould
       
      Has anyone tried Flippity.net?
  • Taking breaks throughout a lengthy lesson are important whether it be for a reflective pause or just an opportunity to stretch.
    • christasgould
       
      With "Zoom fatigue," it seems that brain breaks might be more essential than ever! Any good ideas out there for break breaks students can do remotely?

  • use a shared collaborative space like a Padlet
    • christasgould
       
      Great idea. In another class I'm currently taking synchronously, we did some brainstorming on Padlet during our Zoom session. Will definitely be replicating it in my classes this fall.
  •  
    So many great ideas in this article. I hope I will get to use more this coming semester - Padlet, for instance.
  • ...5 more comments...
  •  
    I love these ideas, and I agree that they are a great way to build community and have a little fun. I will particularly look forward to using the story progression idea, I think it would be a lot of fun with intermediate level students.
  •  
    I also love these ideas and think they are a great way to build community. From the more basic, such as "Use the whiteboard feature" and "Create breakout rooms for collaboration" (I was wondering how to do that!) to the more creative and fun like having students go on a scavenger hunt or any of the many games the author describes... there are lots of great ideas. Many could even be adapted for lower level students.
  •  
    Thanks for sharing this article with so many great ideas to create more opportunities for student interaction and community building. I will try Flippitty.net to create theme based BINGO games (numbers, colors, vegetables, fruits etc)
  •  
    I really enjoyed this article - lots of great ideas to use in the ZOOM classes. The one was discussed in the FaceBook ASL Teachers Share - a scavenger hunt. I going to implement some of the ideas. I actualy had to copy and save this article in a file. Amazing ideas. Thanks for posting!
  •  
    It's the perfect time for these tips! I wanted to try the breakout rooms last spring but had some technical issues and couldn't do it. I love the "I spy" and "Scavenger Hunt" ideas and many others. Thanks for sharing!
  •  
    So many ways to engage students in virtual classes. Great ideas!
  •  
    I attended a webinar and the presenter emphasized taking breaks. I must remember that one as well as putting these ideas in my toolbox.

A faculty member and former ad executive offers six steps for improving teaching on Zoo... - 16 views

  •  
    "Stephen Hersh outlines six steps for how you can create a community of active learning online if you 'use the medium.' "
  • ...6 more comments...
  •  
    very interesting article! I actually like Zoom and its features and agree with Stephen Hersh. we as teachers will need to look through another lens now and try to adapt to teaching online in a new productive way.
  •  
    Like the article - when we switched remotely, my advice for the ASL instructors is to keep it simple, to the point and encourage breakaway groups, encourage conversations using new signs, come up with short stories (movies)....most of the students enjoyed it. When the semester ended, we decided we should learn more tech tips and find other features using ZOOM. Its interesting!
  •  
    This is nice! Super helpful since many of us are Zoom users! And not to mention that we are not alone in this!
  •  
    Yes!! My main takeaway is that online class is not just a duplication of in-person class. Some things have to be done completely differently. I like the part about no lectures. One thing I know is that my fall online classes aren't going to have long lectures...
  •  
    This was really useful! I especially liked how he said he used his mini-lectures as a way to kick start group work. I do think that using Zoom, even though not ideal, can bring us to better ways of doing things with our students. I like how he posits that it forced him to talk less and have students participate more. If this is a benefit of the pandemic, then I welcome it (although all the other stuff --no!).
  •  
    This post reminded me that InsideHigherEd is a great resource for keeping tabs not only on post-secondary education policy, but also on technology. I'll absolutely be delving into their archive!
  •  
    Yes,Greg, Agreed, great resource!!! Will use often.
  •  
    Zoom! I'm pretty sure Stephen Hersch is my neighbor! Teaches at Northwestern. "Stop talking so much!" Yes. Great take away. I saw this video when I looked up to see what TEACHx is since he's involved. Started in 2016. But this linked video https://vimeo.com/249442007 is 4 Northwestern students and how they use technology. Evidently they use Canvas as well. I want to look up want one student said about his Spanish class. But what I liked is one of the students talks about when she doesn't use technology. After having said that all her life she had never used her laptop so much, but still in class the expectation is to arrive prepared and be ready to discuss. Hersch says the same for the what is one of the best uses of Zoom... time for students to discuss. Now! How to really get them all to prepare!?
