10 Ways to Archive Your Tweets - 2 views

  •  
    I noticed that I was only getting about 3 days' worth of tweets in Seesimic and then they didn't show any more - especially in the group hashtags for the "storytweeting" activity - so this interested me. You may also be interested in how to keep student tweets for classroom purposes.

    Downloadable educator's guide by Linda Fogg Phillips, written at Facebook's request.  The homepage says:   "Our commitment to you is to provide an easy way to stay updated as changes occur with Facebook.  We created this website to do just that, in addition to providing you with even more insights, guidance, and resources." but that still doesn't tell me much about what's in the guide...

Flubaroo Overview - Welcome to Flubaroo - 2 views

      This is a script you can install on a google doc. I could spend time explaining it, but the demo is very clear.  It will save you a ton of time! We use Google Forms with flubaroo to do common formative assessments in our department as well as a homework assignment to get data for flexible groupings the next day.  If you have not used Google Forms before I would strongly recommend playing around with them, and then learn how to Flubaroo to save yourself some time!

      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.

Inside VIPKID, Cindy Mi, and $3 billion startup's teacher community - Business Insider - 0 views

  • But, she said, she and fellow members of the Teachers of Color group have called for VIPKid to act "proactively" by teaching the company's parent customers about diversity in America, involving teachers of color in the construction of the curriculum, featuring teachers of color in advertisements in China, and releasing a statement to the company's Chinese customers explicitly supporting teachers of color.
    • afarachnps
       
      Online tutoring like the kind offered by this company, VIPKid, from China to the US, can offer great opportunities for targeting interpersonal communication. However, perhaps due to the synchronous nature of the interactions between tutors and students, cultural and racial stereotypes can interfere in many damaging ways. Does interpersonal communication in the language classroom, real or virtual, open up students and their interlocutors to situations for which we as teachers may not always be prepared?

How to Use Google Slides in the Classroom - The Tech Edvocate - 1 views

  • Third, teachers can encourage collaborative learning in a number of ways with Google Slides. An assignment could be designed so that each student creates their own slides; once combined into one presentation, students can learn from each other. Or, small groups can collaborate on one slide presentation in real-time and then present their slides to the class, allowing for an engaging student presentation.

      I took this idea for my lesson. I would like to add a piece with Pear Deck or Poll Everywhere to augment it. I have seen both apps used, but have never used them myself.
  •  
    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.

I've Been Using Evernote All Wrong. Here's Why It's Actually Amazing - 1 views

  • I kept hearing how awesome Evernote was

      My school has Evernote premium available to all teachers--it's basically just like Diigo, so I'm excited to try and figure it out this year.
  • Archive whiteboard notes

      because Evernote can read handwriting! so cool.
  • You can share any note in Evernote with other people—even if they aren't Evernote users! So it's actually great for this.
  • The second type of bookmark is the one I use for Evernote. It's bookmarking stuff that you want to reference later, but not the kind of stuff you visit every day. Does that make a little more sense?
  • Forgot to mention my third type of bookmark, which are full articles I send to Readability/Pocket/Instapepr for reading later. That's more for pleasure reading than reference, which is what I use Evernote for.
    • cwelton
       
      I have colleagues who use Evernote for this 'pleasure reading' feature as well.
  •  
    I used to use Evernote a while ago for a staff writer/communications job I held in grad school. It helped a great deal with keeping my boss informed on my progress on news stories and for making suggestions. After reading this, I want to go back to it. I remember how organized it made me feel-- I'm sure I could use a lot more of that as a teacher! Thanks for sharing. Glad that Evernote is back on my radar-- with so much more to it than I remember!

Education World: Social Media in the Classroom? - 5 views

  • “Schools are scared about this stuff,” said Elliot Soloway, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor at the University of Michigan. “Whatever they do, [schools fear that] parents will be upset, money will be inappropriately spent, they will draw the ire of the public. They're scared of all of this, so there is an extra layer of conservatism to protect the kids. But we can’t let it paralyze us from taking steps into the new.”

      I definitely think my collaboration with teachers as an ESL teacher will be key to getting more technology involved in the classroom.

    Yes, I agree, we can't just immediately dismiss social media in the classroom because of safety issues. We have to learn ways to work with them.

About Google Scholar - 0 views

  • Google Scholar helps you find relevant work across the world of scholarly research.
    • anonymous
       
      We often tell our students to avoid doing research online and to go to the library. However, we should be encouraging both. The issue with online is credibility of source. Students need to practice determining which are scholarly sources, worth of paper citation, and which are not.
  • Search all scholarly literature from one convenient place Explore related works, citations, authors, and publications Locate the complete document through your library or on the web Keep up with recent developments in any area of research
    • anonymous
       
      All of these actions need to become second nature for our students

Nik's Learning Technology Blog: Creating engagement through interactive infographics - 4 views

  • The potentials for dropping in html objects such as quizzes that enable interaction can make static data much more dynamic. The ability to drop in multimedia and particularly video can lend more significance and impact to the information in the graphic.
    • speabodymn
       
      I have not tried this tool, but it sounds like a great combination of things--embedded videos, plus the ability to add quizzes. I am imagining being able to create something like a google-docs quiz or EdPuzzle, and embed within the context of a larger discussion of a topic. This might help to show how one activities fits into a broader unit.

When Not to Use Video Chat for Language Learning | | Academic Technology Specialists - 0 views

      This article is not the most recent, but it's still an interesting read.
  • trying to have a conversation with someone you have never met, over a low quality video connection, in a language you don’t speak very well, is quite challenging socially as well as linguistically.
    • lars3969
       
      This is the most interesting point in the article. Even when speaking with another native English speaker on Skype or Google Hangouts, it can be hard to negotiate turn taking.

  • Anyone who has used video chat for business purposes knows just how difficult it is to execute turn-taking, interrupting, and politeness.

      "...no differences were found between video and FTF groups." The article shows that CMC performance is very similar to FTF--this suggests to me that recorded Skype conversations (or similar recorded online CMC work) could serve as a good way to practice and assess interpersonal communication skills.

Digital Highlighting Activity - Creative Language Class - 6 views

  • Posted by Kara Parker on April 17, 2017 in 3 Activities, Interpretive Reading, Reading, Techy Stuff, What's New
  • Highlighting is one of my top go-to interpretive reading activities. Today I will review an app for Apple devices and Chrome. Let’s see how highlighting can go digital! I blogged about this “Highlight Away” activity before… It was Idea #71 in 2012! If you haven’t read it, take a minute to see where this idea started. Why I love highlighting… It gives a focus while reading It takes away the frustration of “not knowing every word” (adjust the task, not the text) It preps them to summarize It preps them to discuss the reading No comprehension questions needed (low teacher prep) It lets them figure out the meaning and learn new words in context It shows comprehension without translating Here are a few examples of highlighting activities we’ve done in lessons:
    • maygeorge
       
      I think this article is very helpful.
    • pludek
       
      This is a great idea - they could also highlight in an app like Notability if you use that
  • s in the Street Art unit. They were reading opinions about graffiti before they gave their opinion. It was awesome seeing how this activity gave them so many solid reasons that support their opinions.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  •  template for you to adapt and use if you are doing the activity with highlighters and printed articles. Copy and paste the image to your preferred program (Word, PowerPoint, Pages, Keynote, etc). Add text boxes over the image to create your categories.
