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.

      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.

      I love the idea of adding videos to Padlet. I haven't tried this yet. So many ideas!

How to Teach Remotely with Flipgrid - YouTube - 6 views

  •  
    I like the features of padlet and have personally used the platform in several webinars, but have yet to use the tool myself! I think that will definitely try this platform in the upcoming school year.
  • ...8 more comments...
  •  
    Very useful. Thanks!
  •  
    I was thinking of using FlipGrid for next semester, so this came at the right time. Very clear and engaging presentation. Thank you!
  •  
    I will be exploring the Flipgrid for our ASL classes. This will be a helpful tool to use with students to sign their comments. No voice etc.....nice tool!
  •  
    This is a MUST! I'm saving this because this is a very useful tool for ASL classes!
  •  
    When I was video recording with Flipgrid interactively at the beginning of the training course, I already thought I found a very useful tool for my students of elementary Chinese in a hybrid class for the upcoming semester. Having watched this step-by-step YouTube introduction to it, I'm confident they are going to like this platform and be definitely benefited with all its video, audio, and drawing features in the remote interactive learning. Thanks for sharing this!
  •  
    This was a great explanation and i am definitely interested in using this for my students in the FALL.. i am realizing through this course how much more i retain if i am watching instructional videos as opposed to reading HOW TO.
  •  
    Thank you so much for sharing this! I've been discussing creating new FlipGrid assignments with my colleagues, but have never personally used it before. It seems like the least intimidating student video platform that I've seen so far. I love the snapchat-esque filters, stickers, etc... that users can play with.
  •  
    I am also thinking of trying it in the fall after I heard a lot of good things about it. I prefer it to VoiceThread (I really did not like the chaotic presentation of the different submissions). And it can be integrated into Canvas, but I still have to figure out the details of that (would I leave comments in FlipGrid or Canvas?).
  •  
    His videos are so helpful! Thanks for sharing. Does anyone know if Flipgrid integrates with Sakai? A big concern for me is to keep things simple and streamlined for students. Sending them information through different channels seems to just ask for things to get overlooked or lost. Thanks!
  •  
    It sound like this guy is in the right place at the right time! I love reading but honestly video tutorials can be sooo helpful and nice to watch when they are well produced! I've seen in his channel another tool I love and I haven't used for a while: Adobe Spark.

    I really appreciated reading this as I just tried recording my first screencastify minilecture yesterday and found it really challenging! One tip that I got from this that I will try is to put the recording in EdPuzzle so that I can put in some comprehension checks!
  •  
    I found this to be a very informative and helpful article with lots of practical suggestions and useful links. I wish I had read this before I tried to make videos with Screencast-o-Matic for my classes this past Spring. I could have used his suggestions! I will definitely be referring to it when I begin to make videos for my classes this fall. I too liked how he put his video into EdPuzzle to increase student interactivity. Thanks for sharing it!
  •  
    Hey this is really useful. I have a feeling that I'm going to be using screencasts often as I convert all my teaching to online in the fall. It will be most useful for grammar explanation types of lessons. It looks like it is just what is needed to fill that need for personal explanations that the students want. I prefer interactive worksheets but I get the feeling students don't like them as much as I do.
  •  
    Thank you for sharing! This will come in handy as I'm prepping for hybrid teaching this fall.
  •  
    I used Screencast-o-matic for sharing my presentation while creating a video and it was a great program. Kaltura is also a great way to create presentations.

Sutori Analytics - YouTube - 1 views

    I love this tool for how it looks visually. But is it much different from using a Google Presentation?
  •  
    You know this video has inspired me to look further into using Sutori! Thank you for posting:)
  •  
    https://www.sutori.com/story/copy-of-la-hora-de-geni--9QrtBUS4ceciyrx9umENsiLj I created this one. Feedback from classmates is that it's a bit overwhelming. I figured out a way to chunk it though, if you're wondering.

Connecting a Classroom: Reflections on Using Social Media With My Students - Education ... - 2 views

  • eflections on Using Social Media
  • Social media can expand our thoughts and ideas and connect us to what is going on in the rest of the world. It would be cool getting ideas that are actually present outside our community.”
  • sk students to help develop ways to use that platform to connect within and beyond your classroom. Co-create virtual community with students rather than for them. This obviously looks different for elementary classrooms than for secondary, but all students should feel a sense of ownership over the classroom accounts.

      " ask students to help develop ways to use that platform to connect within and beyond your classroom. Co-create virtual community with students rather than for them. This obviously looks different for elementary classrooms than for secondary, but all students should feel a sense of ownership over the classroom accounts". i think that this is the key - not building for them but with them

      I like this idea, but wonder how it would look in a classroom where some students have extremely limited tech knowledge. Maybe pairing them up with other students and having them teach each other?

How Do Tech Tools Affect the Way Students Write? | MindShift - 4 views

  •  
    There was a hyperlink to an article about whether we should still teach cursive. Apparently high schools are not doing it any more. My son stopped cursive in about the 5th grade and didn't have to use it and now he is struggling at the university because he can't read when the professor uses cursive in anything, like comments on his papers. I have to print when I leave him a note. Wow, technology is wiping out one of the long-standing activities that took humans decades to develop.

    I have to wonder if kids can write notes well without using cursive. I'd struggle and I still write by hand quicker than I can peck things out on a keyboard. Spell/grammar check are helpful, but I still wonder if the student pays any attention to corrections and can't write well without this automated help.
  •  
    I like the balanced way this piece presents some of the pros and cons of technology in education. Just this week I had a conversation with another educator who has encountered recent studies suggesting a link between handwriting (of any kind) and certain cognitive development. Some schools are now emphasizing handwriting instruction because it helps boost students' academic achievement.
  •  
    My daughter is 8 years old and she started learning cursive this year. So it must be back! I'm not sure if will help boost her achievement or not, but I'm glad she is learning it. I think the article made a good point about how students today have a short attention span and easily get off track. If they are typing a paper on the computer, for example, they can open a browser and start surfing the web. They don't necessarily stay focused on the task at hand. It is even hard for me sometimes. If I don't ignore email (just put it off until later, I mean), I would never get anything done!
