Thanks for sharing this incredible resource!

Links upon Links for language teachers/ learners from Foreign Language Teaching Forum by State University of New York College at Cortland

Saving this for later too. Lots of info here- thanks for sharing. This will continue to be a great resource.

Great catch, I am bookmarking this one and adding to my resource library. Merci beaucoup!

Examples on how to use Whatsapp in the language classroom

The use of Whatsapp in the language classroom to promote conversation in the target language

This one worked! and I can see your highlights! =)

Finally a unit fro French teacher. Merci Beaucoup!

Great activity ideas! Loved seeing the appreciative comments and shares from the French teachers in the comment loop-- Aren't we lucky to live in an age where we can share great ideas from near and far-- Encouragement for us all to add to the web of resources and share out what we are doing as well (note to self).

Your share of MovieTalk makes think of playposit tool: Play, Pause, discuss/interpret, repeat. I will definitely use to variety my practice.

This is a great idea for using with Poll Everywhere. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! I used GS so much this past year, and yet did not use it deliberately to encourage collaboration and community-building. This gives me great ideas.

10 tools for effective peer feedback - from Matt Miller

I was searching for your highlight, as I am still very rusty in this Diigo skill. Could not find how to see it.

How to use Glogster to make posters or for digital storytelling.

This could be really useful for study abroad reflection too!

I tried this one at the beginning of the week, but gave up after not being able to type accent marks in Spanish. I like the idea of creating posters or "one pager" presentations.

Great suggestions in this article for using Flipgrid. I really like the idea of keeping track of completed assignments (in my school that would be considered a Habit of Work as we do not grade homework anyhow) and perhaps using Flipgrid as part of a summative assessment at the end of the semester...lots of no stress practice and, by the time the assessment comes, they are all familiar with the technology.

Thanks for sharing this article! I liked the idea of different context and different identity :-) Sometimes students express themselves more comfortable at the beginning through the use of alternate identities. Specially if they have to video record themselves when they are learning the language.

My only concern is that how much the material they use in video can be authentic.

"These projects are, in many ways, summative assessments. We aren't checking for fact recall from the latest activity. These cumulative activities pull from lessons learned throughout the whole semester - or year."

From the book: "Since the first version of this book came out in 2005, the field of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) has grown and changed. This update is the result of some of those changes. Our intent is to place pedagogical goals before technologies, as the literature advises but is not always followed in classrooms. In revising this book, as in the original, we assume that good teachers teach well because they bear in mind certain principles about how they can best help learners to learn language. Placing these principles at the center of attention makes it much easier for teachers to concentrate on the question of what constitutes effective computer-enhanced pedagogy and why. This book takes as its organizing principles both the system of conditions that are known to support effective language learning and the goals that a variety of standards in the field have set out for us and our students. Examples throughout the book underscore the need to consider theory in every aspect of the teaching and learning process. Some of the points in this book we have made in other places; other we discovered during the revision process. All told, this text provides a brief picture of what CALL classrooms can be like today. Of course, that could change tomorrow."

There are notes that should be investigated here, too - government quality indicator proposal (#3), students disappearing (#5). I think you will find the article very interesting - even if the study was done on a required course for students in "College of Hospitality, Retail, and Sport Management"

" 'The basis of a task-based approach'"

After reading how much material I could flip and have students do outside of class, I thought it would be good to start looking for more templates for meaning bearing and higher order thinking tasks that could be done in the classroom. Here is some really good stuff Jane Willis.

If you miss this year, keep it in mind for coming years! A workshop for Chinese teachers who teach online.

This was a great webinar, I look forward to incorporating some of the ideas to revamp my discussion forums for the fall!

I just bookmarked this for reference later. Thanks for sharing this!

In this Journal that I follow, they have many different authors discuss topics ranging from technologies use for, by Deaf people, education for deaf children, parent-child relationships, to language development.
