    Bringing experts into your classroom via video conferencing can be an excellent enhancement to your students' learning experiences. Video conferencing can also be used to connect classrooms in a 21st century version of penpal exchanges.

Social Media in the Classroom-For Kindergartners Through High Schoolers - 2 views

  • Remember to give students guidelines on ways they can respond. For example, they should not just say that they agree with what a certain student said. They should be specific and say what they agree with and why. Use specific examples in class of good posts and not-so-good posts.
    • Lorraine Effler
       
      good suggestion not just for grade school students but high school students as well
  • talk to the other teachers in your school and try to agree on one or two social networking tools you will all use
    • Lorraine Effler
       
      good idea if multiple teachers or departments want to use social media...not to overwhelm teachers or students
  • however, for teachers to regularly monitor the networks, removing inappropriate posts and keeping a dialog open with students about appropriate use of the school social network.
    • Lorraine Effler
       
      absolutely!
  •  
    interesting information about using social media at all grade levels

      One way to keep the students engage in the targeted language is making sense for the language.  And learning the current events of the country of your target language is the best way to learn about the country and culture.

      I have never seen a breaking news map before, but the site mentioned in this article is a great tool to use with older students, especially if they need help visualizing where an event is taking place.

EduCanon - Freetech4teachers - 0 views

  • Using eduCanon, like other services similar to it, could be a good way to build introductory and review lessons for students. The option to track your students' progress is nice for anticipating the questions your students might bring to class and for seeing what you might need to review in-person with your students.
    • srafuller
       
      This allows a more personalized face to face review of the flipped lesson, allowing more class-time for actual practice of the lesson.

      Who else still calls it Google Docs?
    • Marlene Johnshoy
       
      Looks like it was published a year ago (from the comment dates - it would be nice if they dated the article...)  When did they switch to call "Drive"?   =)
    • klmcguinness
       
      From what I understand, Google Docs exist within one's Google Drive in the same manner as your files and applications exist within your hard drive. I think Google is trying to make a distinction between a larger body and the parts within it. For example, I have an icon on my laptop's menu bar that takes me to my Google Drive. In my Google Drive are "My Drive" which contains my files and folders. I can also access my email, files that are shared with me which I have no ownership of and cannot move to "My Drive" folders, I can also access any Google Groups from my Google Drive, but they are not part of my Google Docs. That's my take on it.

      Thanks for that analogy. That helps a bit, but my head still swims with the amount of vocabulary bounced around in this tech world. I am trying to understand my OneDrive, SharePoint and things like that, with work having switched to Office 365. I am not liking it so far, because of the learning curve.

    Ooh, the internet tells me it's Free Voluntary Reading. This is an interesting article. I'm not sure it would be directly applicable to any of the classes I teach right now, but it's good food for thought.
