    I thought this was an interesting way to look at what students can research/read on their own and what class time should be used for - something to keep in mind as we're planning class!

    • Isis Shawver
       
      I have used vocaroo before.   It is extremely user friendly. There is not need to set up an account!

      Isis, I wanted to comment on this tool, stating I like the fact that is free and one does not need an account. Anyways, I wanted to add sticky note but I accidentally clicked on Vocaroo and the page popped up on my screen ready for me to provide my voice. Pretty cool!
  • Vocaroo is a free service that allows users to create audio recordings without the need to install any software. You don't even have to create an account to use Vocaroo. All you need to provide is a microphone. I used the microphone built into my MacBook to make the recording below. To create a recording just go to Vocaroo.com, click record, grant Voca
  • roo access to your mic, and start talking. After completing your recording, Vocaroo gives you the choice to publish it or to scrap it and try again. Vocaroo provides the option to embed the recording anywhere.

Revisiting Twitter as an Educational Tool « Teaching Effectiveness Program - 3 views

  • have used Twitter to facilitate class discussion and to gauge and deepen students’ interest and level of understanding.
  • raising awareness of personal branding. “I think it’s really important for students to think about the content of their accounts and the pictures they use,” which form part of a lasting “digital footprint,” she says. Faculty members often must remind students of the permanence of the Internet and its long-term effect on their professional image.

  • “Our students don’t really need to be taught how to connect to each other online, but teaching them to be aware of their online environments, their roles in those environments, and what their roles could be in those environments is part of encouraging their cultural awareness. I think that we do a disservice to our students when we try to keep the internet out of our classrooms, and that we should instead be encouraging them to engage as much as possible (and as critically as possible) with the endless resources that the internet places at their fingertips.”

      I still have colleagues who will not allow laptops or smartphones in the classroom.  I like the idea of teaching students how to act in different online environments.  It is a useful tool.
  •  
    Twitter, the popular microblogging site that allows users to post 140-character "tweets," both intrigues and irritates faculty, according to a Faculty Focus survey. Some embrace it as a clever way to teach concision and get students writing, thinking, and connecting with the course material and one another.

    Sorry, you may have to go to your own library access to see this, but it was interesting for a number of things: 80% took all classes online, 74% indicated interaction with peers was not or only a little important, among other questions in a survey given to middle and high school students.

Make screencasts interactive with eduCanon | Douchy's Blog - 2 views

  • Because eduCanon uses HTML5, rather than Flash, playback works great on an iPad, too.
    • klmcguinness
       
      This could be an advantage for Apple devices. Flash has occasional issues with Apple products.
    • srafuller
       
      That's good to know. My students have a mixed bag of devices, and several have Ipads.
  • The first time students watch a video, they are unable to skip through the video; they have to watch the whole thing from start to finish and attempt every question.
    • klmcguinness
       
      Love this feature. Like with reading, middle schoolers pick through material to find the answers. We can't glue them to their seats, but they never know where those questions will pop up and they can't look ahead to see what answers they need to find. Love that!
  • You paste in the URL of the video, then watch it play
    • klmcguinness
       
      According to another blog I was reading regarding licensing and sharing, if the "embed" function is operable the owner has endorsed (consciously or thru oversight?) sharing.

  • The answers people choose in a public video are not collected by eduCanon.
    • klmcguinness
       
      Good to know to allay students' fears. Will they even think that their answers would be made public-probably not most MS students.
  • You can assign a video to the class, and then eduCanon collects data for you on your class’ completion of the task and their responses to your questions.
  • all of those features are 100% free

How To Learn Minority and Endangered Languages With Little or No Resources - 3 views

  •  
    I found this site on Feedly and started following it; this guy travels around the world learning foreign languages; this article in particular discusses how to learn minority and endangered languages, however I find the innovation and his motivation to be the greatest factors in his success. He's not following someone else's path and as the actual process of learning a FL is such a personal thing, I think he's really on to something! From the site: "There are almost too many sites and resources for big languages like French, Spanish and German. When you're learning a language like these, the problem is usually deciding which resource to use rather than not being able to find one. But what about those of us who want to learn a less popular language (minority or endangered)?"

The perils of electronic translation - 3 views

  • I made sure that they understood why I felt using a translator for work that the students were supposed to do is plagiarism. This has to be the first step.
    • Ferrel Rose
       
      Teaching students how (not) to use technology for effective learning is part of our job as language educators.
    • danielhkarvonen
       
      We have had some rather unpleasant situations recently with students using Google translate to write essays outside class. I agree that the policy has to be clear and that the implications have to be as well. Several instructors have moved to doing all essay writing in class.
  • On one of the very first days, I take the lyrics of a popular song that most students would know and paste it into a translator.
    • Ferrel Rose
       
      An easier way to do this is to show this short video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMkJuDVJdTw

tsdwlstandards - Interpretive Reading strategies - 2 views

  • Reading Steps
    • Caroline Switzer Kelly
       
      No - this isn't exactly an article! But I'm glad I found it because s a very helpful summary of how to approach a reading with a view to comprehension. And I have highlighted this heading because it's a reminder that reading can take different forms, and that each one is a process -- and those processes often have to be explicitly taught to our L2 students. We all tend to take reading and comprehending for granted and not realize how variety there can be in how we approach at text. And we tend to forget that it's not at all passive. It's a complex process in our L1. How much more so in an L2.

Add a discussion page to PBworks - 1 views

  •  
    This is a function that I always thought was lacking in PBworks (compared to Wikispaces, for example) - now they are recommending this app as an add-in. Only a PBworks admin can add this however - you need to click the "Allow javascript" button. This page has screenshot instructions, if you're not sure how to add it. HOWEVER - I haven't been able to get it to work, yet... I don't know if it's a login problem or what. It shows up in the wiki page, but I can't add anything to the discussion.
