Teacher Challenge - 0 views

  • You’ll find students learn more, are more motivated and their writing improves faster when they’re allowed to write posts.  And the best way to get them started is by writing posts on the class blog.

    You might want to follow this "challenge" as a sideline to the class!  Let's see what sorts of things they work through.

    I am creating an online course. There are many ways to make that happen, but I think providing a learning platform through online should be my priority and not necessary forcing students to use technology to learn.

CAPL: Culturally Authentic Pictorial Lexicon - 7 views

  •  
    Welcome to the Culturally Authentic Pictorial Lexicon, CAPL, the source for authentic images for language learning
  •  
    I like the concept of organizing photos like this. I went into the Spanish(Mexico) sections and some are good pictures and others are not, but it is worth going through them if you are in a pinch to find an authentic picture. I think I might have to start organizing my pictures this way for my classroom. Just this last trip I took about 40 in the market (at least 8 photos of different types of avocados) and this would make it easier to use/find them for class.
  •  
    Love this site, too! Pix address many questions kids have about things in the target countries that we don't necessarily get to see first hand. But, caution, too. Times they are rapidly changing and some of the pix are outdated. But, as you say, in a pinch they are nice to know about.

Template for Novice High Interpretive Listening - Maris Hawkins - 3 views

  • Also, you can discuss why certain companies make different products for different countries.  I saw one commercial for a lemonade made by 7-Up.  It is always fascinating the different flavors that each company makes worldwide.
    • afarachnps
       
      This seems a great means to motivate critical thinking and intercultural understanding through an interpretive task. Why are some "flavors" popular in certain regions of the Spanish-speaking world? How do they compare to the flavors popular in my community? What does this tell me about the cultural differences and similarities between the regions? Finally, using commercials as interpretive activities may provide useful starting points into further research and critical thinking-- e.g., in what other ways do stores advertise differently for the audiences we study?

Seven Ways to Use Google Docs to Support Bilingual Student Writers | EdSurge News - 0 views

  • Even though some of my students may not have regular access to a computer at home, they can access Google Docs from anywhere, including their phones.
    • cwelton
       
      This is an important factor for me when I am thinking about integrating a web-based technology--my students all have very different levels of access, so I want to be as inclusive as possible of their various capacities to engage.
  • students also know I will look at the “Editing History” to hold them each accountable.

      Really important to high schoolers!

  • What’s more important is that I can provide feedback without drawing dark red lines across their writing, an experience that can be discouraging to many writers (including myself). Instead, we use Comments, Editing, or Suggesting to provide less invasive feedback; we can also share audio feedback right in the document using Kaizena, a Google Doc add-on. Students can receive immediate feedback multiple times throughout the writing process--and I don’t have worry about dragging stacks of paper home!
    • cwelton
       
      I'm curious to look at this Kaizena...in addition to commenting/suggesting, I also use colors to clarify my edits for students (I do this on paper, too)--different colors represent different kinds of errors, for example, purple means there is an error or lack of clarity in vocabulary choice, red means the verb is misconjugated, etc.

FlipGrid Tutorial - YouTube - 2 views

  •  
    FlipGrid tutorial that helped to walk me through setting up different topics for students to participate in.
  •  
    I so needed this!
  •  
    It seems somewhat self-explanatory, but by watching the tutorial I came up with a few ideas that would not have otherwise come up. Among them, I can use FG as a scaffolding activity to match student progress over the course of a quarter or semester. It offers a few features that could appropriately match this growth-- I can write a prompt with an image, video, video + link. Anyway, I can see now more clearly how to FG can be a great resource for my classroom.

  •  
    Many great ideas. In the past few days I have come across a few of the online tools mentioned but this blog brings them all together in one source, which is very helpful.

    A little overwhelming in terms of the number of resources, but really great resources nonetheless!

  • communication and new technologies can certainly facilitate this essential aspect through, for example, videoconferencing and blogging. There are also lots of ways of recording and editing audio as a method of improving pronunciation, boosting learner confidence, extending speaking skills and deepening understanding. Filmmaking and animation also draw on a variety of useful skills and promote creativity, collaboration and personalised learning.
  • Technology is not going away and language teachers need to embrace its full potential to engage our 21st century learners.

Teaching, Tech and Twitter: Ignite a Flipgrid Fire - 1 views

  • 5. GridPals! An incredible idea from Bonnie McClelland, GridPals connects classrooms across the globe creating virtual pen pals. You can take advantage of GridPals using Flipgrid One. However, if one of the GridPals teachers has Flipgrid classroom then you can become CoPilots on the same grid giving both teachers access to the educator dashboard.

    • 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

The Best Ways to Build Student's Interpretive Listening Skills | Calico Spanish - 6 views

  • “Students should practice picking up key words and extrapolating main ideas using the context of what they hear.” @ChristeyHughes responded, “En français, we often refer to ‘la tolérance de l’ambiguité’ to be able to work through, perhaps not getting each word.”
  • “…Make sure that you select an appropriate length for novices–small doses of ‘anything.’”
  • “Multiple choice requires no production of any kind. Really, it’s only good for finding out what they don’t know.” @LauraJaneBarber said, “I like to do listening as input for a writing or speaking task. Can show true comprehension better than multiple choice.”
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • “Multiple choice helps lower the affective filter–the interpretation in itself is a higher order skill.” She went on to say, “Multiple choice shouldn’t be end goal, though.” @AMor3liana said, “I think multiple choice is an ok option at the beginning of the school year. It gives some students that extra boost of confidence in the target language.”

Flip Your Language Classroom the Right Way | Language News - 4 views

  • It’s important to note that this process is different from, for example, simply giving students a video of grammar rules to watch at home, then going over the concepts from that video in class.
    • Anne Dixon
       
      I couldn't agree with this more.  Watching a grammar video would be so boring for my students.  I like to be present when explaining grammar concepts so I can answer their questions.

      I never thought about it this way before but I can see how technology in a flipped classroom can provide immediate and accurate feedback to students.

  • In the flipped teaching model, students “front load” their language abilities by learning vocabulary and phrases independently before each class. Teachers can then build on what their students have already learned, practicing and applying that knowledge in class through com
    • vivianfranco
       
      I still have doubts about this aspect. Most of my students prefer to be taught grammar and vocabulary in class rather by themselves with a computer. Once again how much can we offer them though online and how much should we explain this in class?
