Evernote's Penultimate for iPad now behaves more like a real notebook - 2 views

  •  
    I have been using this app as a smart board. The advantages are: you can add/edit notes as you teach, highlight vocabulary or grammar elemen, you can also use notes from previous lessons and you could also email the presented material on the Ipad to students. Students love it and it makes learning more interactive.

    Oh, I'm happy to hear how you've been using this! I've just recently downloaded Evernote to my tablet, but haven't done much with it yet.
  •  
    This sounds cool, my husband has been really happy with using the evernote. I'm going to try this out too. :D
  •  
    I use evernote all of the time for a personal "to-do" list but I never thought of using it for class. Thanks for the great ideas!

21st-Century PD: Retention, Reflection, and Redistribution of Knowledge | Edutopia - 4 views

  •  
    I like Edutopia because it provides great information and ideas about teaching in the 21st century.
  •  
    A good reminder to allow time for processing during PD presentations -
  •  
    Of all the blogs I've seen, Edutopia consistently has the most useful advice to give. I may not be in total agreement with all of it, but it is reliable and grounded.

      These are general ideas, but many could easily be transferred specifically to language teaching.

Screencasting Tools: Camtasia vs. Screencast-O-Matic - Instructional Technology Blog | ... - 2 views

      Whenever I ask my students to use a new web app I go record myself signing in and doing an example.
  • Recording your computer screens into a digital video (screencasting) for class tutorials can come in handy when flipping the classroom.  You can record yourself using an online tool, reciting a presentation, or guide students through a website.  You can even record streaming video online – though you will still have to follow copyright rules when recording online video.  This post will compare two popular screencasting tools: Camtasia (which cost money) and Screencast-O-Matic (free).

  • Typically, your students will use their cell phones to take pictures and (where possible) record audio and video. Alternatively, a voice recorder or a video recorder can be shared among students. Many students have an IPod or other types of Mp3 player that can be used to record speech, which are ideal for interviews or self-recordings. By making use of the devices students already have, you minimise the need for the school to provide them.

  • The Tools That Help
    • Diane Nordin
       
      Nice list of tools that can be used with (or without) Skype.
  • Skype is one more free and infinitely useful tool that educators can add to their toolbox
  • 1. Use it to collaborate with other classrooms.
  • 3. Enable participation (and catch-up) for students outside of the classroom.
  • 2. Use it to conduct expert interviews.
  • Q&A or more of a lecture
  • doing some research and coming up with questions in advance, so they have an opportunity to interact with the expert and learn more.
  • Students will get a glimpse into different career options and learn a little more about their peers, and parents get a chance to be more involved with the class
  •  
    The expert interviews are something I need to do more of. Love the idea of a virtual Career day. Would be a good way to keep alums connected.

Flipping my Spanish Classroom: Beginning of the Year Assessments with Google Forms - 9 views

  • I loved that the Google Form gathered all of the responses together so I could look at student answers all together to see if their answers were a pattern of things that none of them learned, or if it was just a few students that needed review.
    • effeinstein
       
      I like this idea for pre-assessments and I wonder how it would work for the actual assessments too. Has anyone tried google forms for testing?
    • smuske
       
      I have used it for formative tests that go in the "participation" category. I like being able to look at the results immediately so I can give the class immediate feedback.
  • I am armed with some knowledge of the classes overall abilities as well as some individual struggles so I can help specific students one-on-one. I have adjusted some of my review activities to better focus on what students need to work on.
    • cwelton
       
      I've done intakes at the beginning of the year at the adv. level to see why they chose the elective and what they hope to learn, but this seems like a great way to assess 'summer attrition' at the lower levels. On it!
    • afarachnps
       
      Agreed. Last year, I asked students to use post it notes on a drawn scale that I put on the wall, to represent how much Spanish they felt they knew. A Google quiz would be a great way of doing a follow-up to this activity. Moreover, I could think of a concluding self-assessment: now that you have a better sense of how much Spanish you know, what goals can you think of for this year? I wonder if I can also use Google for a goals activity, too?

    @effeinstein Yes, all of my vocabulary quizzes are on Google Forms and I use GF extensively for gathering reflections pre-post units, post field trips, in general, anytime I need to gather data from students about what we are working on-- Sometimes I collect their emails, other times anonymous, if I feel that I might gather more frank feedback that way-- The spreadsheet of data is nice to look over when considering how well something went, or to make tweaks for the next iteration of work. I can also pull quotes for presentations to faculty and families, or in writing narrative reports-- Also makes grading quick and easy-- Sometimes I print out the quizzes for quick one on one feedback for students--
  •  
    It is also a great tool for getting feedback from the students.
