General Educator Blog | General Educator Blog - 1 views

shared by cbbbcb on 12 Jul 20 - No Cached
  •  
    I came across this blog looking for communicative activities to do with students online. They have an online immersion program for several different languages but also maintain different blogs for certain audiences. This one is the "General Educator Blog." I found their content helpful and really informative.

    I found it very relevant. Would like to try FluentU but not sure if there are free resources. The subcription is $20/mo, not cheap...

      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.

    Seems like an interesting tool for getting students to practice oral skills outside of the classroom as well. I might like to use this idea at the beginning of the school year to have students introduce themselves to one another.

Visuals for Foreign Language Instruction - 2 views

  • 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).
    • MariaEmicle Lopez
       
      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.
