Learning through the Pandemic | AAUP - 1 views

  • 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?
    • greghutcheson
       
      I'd love to hear debate on this in particular. Cameras on or off?...
  •  
    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....)

Going the Distance: Online Learning Ideas | Creative Language Class - 7 views

  • 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.

      Example of appropriate use of Google Translate.
    • pamh6832
       
      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.

    Helping students read successfully in their 2nd language.
  •  
    I like this website, it's simple and it provides great ideas on helping students with reading!
  •  
    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 is a very helpful article about translators being used in assignments.
  • ...3 more comments...
  •  
    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.
  •  
    An easily readable article with key insights into why forbidding OT is NOT the best practice after all!
  •  
    Absolutely loved this article, nice set of five questions to ask when designing assignments ina way that discourages student use of OTs.
  •  
    Great article!
  •  
    I relate to approaches #1 and #2, but not really the rest. I haven't had many issues with OT anyway. What is your approach?

(PDF) Using Flipgrid to develop social learning - 1 views

  • As is common on many social media platforms, videos can be ‘liked’ or ‘hearted’ to show agreement or approval.
  • This can lead to competitiveness, with the confidence of some students potentially dented if a video receives fewer views or likes than others. (This feature can be deactivated if the tutor so desires.)

New Teacher Boot Camp Week 2 - Using VoiceThread | Edutopia - 1 views

  • It is an easy way to differentiate instruction while providing engaging choices to "show" learning, engage in conversation, and think openly and critically about content.
    • leahmyott
       
      Differentiation is so important for English learners. They don't always get a chance to make their voices heard, and this way, they can do it in their own time and space.
  • the value of a Web 2.0 tool is in its ability to enhance the student's learning experience, and allows teachers to be inspired to cultivate learning in a purposeful, dynamic way.
    • leahmyott
       
      I have found that looking on examples and tutorials gives me inspiration on ways to use Voicethread. I can be purposeful and dynamic - I feel I am at the tip of the iceberg in terms of ways I could use it.
