      I think this is another great use of this tool and students can do this perhaps as an extra activity which will allow them to practice their new vocabulary without the pressure of receiving a grade for it. I also use this to create "Spanish in action" cartoons to embed in my announcements.

    I like that audioboo is an app. I am pretty much connected to my iphone (it's an extension of my arm) and audioboo seemed to be the only one that was mentioned that had an iphone app.

    There is quite a few posts about Wallwisher on youtube. I wanted to share this one because the author explains how to use the tool to entice students to create an extended text that they can share with other students for comments. Combining the post-its to paragraphs and an overall texts is also a great way to look at text strucure overall. He also introduces another tool Middlespot which looks even more suitable for story telling. Check it out!

      I find the video on nearpod eye opening. The coming generations to our classrooms when we don't allow the use of phones for mere texting. It is a completely different idea when mobile technology can be used for students to share class related information.

      I really appreciate this sentiment - that we should be open to the changing ways in which we communicate. Mobile devices, for example, should be considered a resource and not a hindrance in the classroom.

  • We aim to provide examples of authentic language spoken in its natural cultural environment so that students of all ages can better understand the interplay between a language and its culture. The videos were filmed with handheld camcorders and microphones provided by the Center. The video and audio quality varies.

      This resource page gives access to spoken language and culture through authentic video and audio materials. There are materials in different languages on a variety of topics raging from basic communication, to culture, social life, transportation, etc. I found materials from some of Latin American countries and Spain on necessitites>emergency situations (Emergency Room, Taking the Physical Exam, etc.) for my Medical Spanish class.
  • Students should be aware that we have tried to remain true to the language our subjects actually uttered. Therefore, we have not corrected grammatical errors and the videos sometimes show highly colloquial language, local slang, and regional specific speech patterns.

  • This site contains hundreds of visual aids (illustrations) that can be used to support instructional tasks such as describing objects and people (i.e., teaching vocabulary) or describing entire events and situations (i.e., teaching grammar).

      What I find useful from using illustrations on this page is that they are in clipboard design and are free of words in English or any other language. Each illustration allows for a variety of activities raging from reviewing vocabulary, grammar, being creative using different skills: writing, speaking; individual or small group work.

audio QR codes carlatech13 week3 tutorial

shared by Adrienne Gonzales on 22 Jul 13 - No Cached
  • magine students’ artwork hanging in your school’s hallway and beside each masterpiece is a QR code. When parents, students, and other teachers scan the code using a mobile device, they hear the student telling about themselves and the relevance of their art... Or what about a QR code in the back of a library book that allows you to hear a student’s review of the book? Or a QR code sent home to parents that allows them to listen to their 1st grader reading or telling a story?

  • anonymous on 17 Jul 15
     
    Although this article is about British language education and it's two years old, my interest was piqued when I read it: ""Languages cannot be taught, they can only be learnt. The best way is to tell students right away that they are responsible for their own learning process, and the teacher is just a guide who has to motivate them."" Made me think about relevancy and how Tech is only one part of that.

    Fascinating article. Quotes a professor of linguistics who suggests that one reason for the move to Task Based learning is that in the UK, unlike in Europe, students don't know English grammar - so teachers can no longer use that as a bridge between languages! The article also quotes Michael Erard, author of 'Babel No More,' - a study of people who speak multiple languages - says: "They use a mix [of methods], with a focus on accomplishing tasks, whether it's communicative tasks or translation tasks."
  • anonymous on 19 Jul 15
     
    Yes, the Erard quote really gets to the heart of it: what combination of learning methods will work for each, individual student? Learning is personal and those who develop their own methods (hopefully with effective guidance) will go far.
  • marispi on 20 Jul 15
     
    Really interesting. I wonder if we changed the setting to the U.S. if the same difficulties would apply. I never really thought about grammar being discarded simply because students don't know it well enough. While I've found that most students we teach don't understand their mother tongue, I still think that the shift to task-based work had as much to do with the lack of real communication skills. Just teaching them grammar and relying on them to go abroad to learn to speak wasn't doing it. That being said, I think the mixture of methods is best, and by mixture I mean the integration of many methods into accomplishing a task. And I agree that the meta-learning is key.
  • Marlene Johnshoy on 21 Jul 15
     
    I remember getting a comment from a student once, many years ago, that she had learned more about English grammar in my Spanish class than anywhere else... (sigh)

  • or at least, I’m more and more convinced that we should not rely solely on Twitter as the site for online PD or for online educator community. Both can and do exist online — PD and community — but I’d wager the best place to find both remain on educators’ blogs. I wonder if, in fact, “the future of professional development” might be a “return to blogging.”

      We have had some rather unpleasant situations recently with students using Google translate to write essays outside class. I agree that the policy has to be clear and that the implications have to be as well. Several instructors have moved to doing all essay writing in class.
  • On one of the very first days, I take the lyrics of a popular song that most students would know and paste it into a translator.
