Cool Tools - Collaborating with Padlet | TESL Ontario Blog - 3 views

  • An unlimited number of users can contribute to a padlet at the same time, making collaborative work very easy.
    • lars3969
       
      I wonder what a good group size would be for most Padlet activities? If it's sort of a social media feed like the one I created for class, I suppose it could be everyone. If it's creating a digital poster, groups of three might work well.
  •   No account necessary to collaborate
    • lars3969
       
      This really does make things easier. My students had trouble remembering passwords to things this summer, so it's great when there is no login required.
  • adding example sentences to a shared class padlet
    • lars3969
       
      I don't quite understand this use of Padlet. Why not just use Google Docs? I think Padlet is useful because it allows students to include multimedia.

      I would add that another benefit is how sleek it can look. It's amazing how much design can make a difference in educational activities.

      It seems that Padlet has a Power-Point/Prezi-like option for creating presentations. I'll have to look more into that.
  • I fill those padlets up with a variety of learning materials including photos, YouTube videos, quizzes, worksheets and step-by-step instructions.
    • heidikreutzer
       
      I love the idea of adding videos to Padlet. I haven't tried this yet. So many ideas!

Infografías en castellano - Infografías interesantes en español (Alfredo Vela) - 6 views

    • Anne Dixon
       
      I love using infographics, especially with beginning levels of language learners. There are so many visual aids to help increase comprehension that most students feel a sense of accomplishment when reading the infographics.  This site has a ton of them in  Spanish.  #carltech17GroupA

      Thanks for sharing, Anne. I have not used Infographics in class, and I think my students would enjoy working with them.
    • pludek
       
      I agree - infographs are a great resource. I've considered having students even create some to share on a given topic - a work in progress!

    Hi Anne! I also like to use infographics with my students even for me. I learn much better when I see images and graphics. I guess I am a visual learner and I always present content through images and charts of information.

VoiceThread Extends the Classroom with Interactive Multimedia Albums | Edutopia - 1 views

  • VoiceThreads might best be described as interactive media albums
  • The technology is particularly accessible because viewers can comment using just about any technology -- including a good old landline. "We've tried to make it fairly universal in access," says Ben Papell. "If you don't have a microphone
    • vivianfranco
       
      This is why I like Voice Thread the most because it is accessible to everybody even teachers and students that are new to the world of technology.
  • when he discovered he could engage his kids online in a collaborative, multimedia slide show called a VoiceThread, he decided to see if he could use it to, as he puts it, "steal some of their online minutes."

  • Teachers can keep VoiceThreads private or publish them, either on the VoiceThread site or embedded on their own sites. Participants can post from anywhere, at any time, making it easy to involve groups in disparate time zones, or even different countries, in a single conversation.
    • vivianfranco
       
      I also like it because it also allows for interactivity and facilitate learning through communities.
  • "Take it slow -- don't upload 600 images and try to get fifty people to comment on each and every one," he says. "One of the great things is that it will take off on its own."
    • speabodymn
       
      I see this benefit--giving voice to students who might normally not speak because of shyness or because of a few dominant personalities in the class--as one of the main benefits of online video/comment tools like VoiceThread.
  •  
    It is good to have a free tools, because when we ask school to buy it for us it takes a long time and sometimes we do not get approved, if you know more app that are useful for class luse ike the VoiceThread, I hope you can share it with me.

Criteria for identifying tasks for TBL | TeachingEnglish | British Council | BBC - 1 views

    " '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.

Tools for Synchronous and Asynchronous Classroom Discussion - 9 views

  • Regardless of the tool or set of tools that you use, be sure your communication plan is clear to your students. Online communication does have rules, just like face-to-face communication. Set guidelines as well as expectations, and use only those tools that you’ve evaluated and which clearly enhance your teaching and student learning.
    • jenniferacarr
       
      I'm happy to see this point emphasized yet again. Just because a tool is new and shiny doesn't mean it will help your students. Careful planning and a sound pedagogical rationale will, though.
  •  
    An article by Julie Meloni, published on the Chronicle of Higher Education's (now defunct) "ProfHacker" blog. Meloni offers a quick overview of the distinction between synchronous and asynchronous communication, and suggests ways to make use of both in the classroom.

    Unfortunately, this article has been removed. But I like Jennifer's comment: "Just because a tool is new and shiny doesn't mean it will help your students. Careful planning and a sound pedagogical rationale will, though."

    Excellent! Thanks for sharing this, Marlene. I'm going to re-post it for our LCTL instructors. I think it will be really useful.

    Full of useful examples and websites! Will definitely try the Wheeldecide.com to make calling on students more interesting. Great discussion on keeping students engaged.

    These are great. I learned about using streamyard.com to live stream any school event to a venue, such as YouTube. This could be useful even after Covid to allow parents to be a part of events that happen at school.

Consider using this final activity as a presentational performance assessment where students use skills, functions
