Video Introduction to Using Google Classroom - 0 views

  •  
    This is a YouTube video that introduces how to use Google Classroom. I sometimes like to watch video tutorials about how to use new technology because they give me a better idea about how the platform, website, tool will function for students. If you're looking for new material on YouTube, you can follow certain people's/organizations "channels," you can create public or private "playlists" of videos to save for yourself, or you can search for existing "playlists" that others have created.

Flipping the Classroom for ESL learners | Online Learning - 3 views

    Tenth grade ESL literature class, and how the teacher changed his mind about flipping a classroom.  I wonder how he deals with access to technology- if that is an issue students face.

  • in my opinion, focused collaboration
    • Alyssa Ruesch
       
      Are there any dangerous to the collaborative nature of this work-style? For example, do people fall prey to "group think"?
  • A recent study indicated the No. 1 reason for a person not to change jobs is based upon having a close friend at the same company

Legal Issues & Language Learning Technology | IALLT - 1 views

  •  
    Eyes are on "the UCLA case," where a university has been sued because it undertook to provide video streams on campus without asking permission from the video rights holders. The case is not likely to be definitive but it raises important questions: What constitutes classroom use of a film? Can an institution sign away its fair use rights? Who is responsible for providing the infrastructure for streaming media distribution at an educational institution?

Facebook Pages vs Facebook Groups: What's the Difference? - 1 views

  • There are a number of factors you need to consider when choosing which is right for your project, a Page or a group.
    • Jessica Rojas
       
      I like the information given in this site.
  • Groups offer far more control over who gets to participate. Permissions settings make it possible for group admins to restrict access to a group, so that new members have to be approved. Access to a Page, however, can only be restricted by certain ages and locations. Again, this makes groups more like a private club

      Read here.
    • Adrienne Gonzales
       
      This statement really helps simplify whether a page or a group is right for you. Based on this info, I think for teaching a group is best.

      Isis, I wanted to comment on this tool, stating I like the fact that is free and one does not need an account. Anyways, I wanted to add sticky note but I accidentally clicked on Vocaroo and the page popped up on my screen ready for me to provide my voice. Pretty cool!
  • Vocaroo is a free service that allows users to create audio recordings without the need to install any software. You don't even have to create an account to use Vocaroo. All you need to provide is a microphone. I used the microphone built into my MacBook to make the recording below. To create a recording just go to Vocaroo.com, click record, grant Voca
  • roo access to your mic, and start talking. After completing your recording, Vocaroo gives you the choice to publish it or to scrap it and try again. Vocaroo provides the option to embed the recording anywhere.

Media Examples for the Classroom - TEACHING MEDIA - 1 views

  • Some of the most productive parts of the class were the weekly take-home assignments that asked the students to post comments on their social networking sites while using connected viewing technology
  • While the students learned a lot from the class assignments, they were initially anxious about letting an instructor into their social network. I felt it was necessary to preserve the anonymity of the students for the study so I wanted to keep their comments about the connected viewing private.
  • Unfortunately, the only way to ensure this anonymity was to create a “secret” Facebook group. “Secret” Facebook groups are one of three categories of groups that allow members of the social network to collaborate on a project. Though this setting allows all posts and members to remain confidential it also required me, as the creator of the “secret” Facebook group, to “friend” all of my students so that I could then add them to the group.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  •   “Friending” the students raised some privacy concerns for me and for my students. Suddenly, we could see the everyday things that we were posting to Facebook. According to a survey conducted by Tammy Swenson Lepper, students are uncomfortable with authority figures making judgments about them based on their “private” Facebook communications, regardless of the pubic availability of this information (183-184)

      I thought to create a group you do not need to friend the members, do you?
    • Hasmik Tovmasyan
       
      Here comes the factor of the Net generation and their "comfort zone"
  • Facebook and Twitter are easier to manage on mobile devices and are familiar interfaces.
    • Hasmik Tovmasyan
       
      very good point
    • Amy Uribe
       
      I agree!
  • This makes the class more student-centered and gives those struggling to follow lectures and readings an additional platform to work through course concepts.
