      I'm really interested in creating an activity similar to what's described in #2. I think once I have the infrastructure worked out, it will be easy to repeat for different locations and different places of interest (restaurants, parks, whatever) in each city.

      This type of activity could also be a good first step to work up to asking for and giving directions in German.

6 Top Tech Tools for World Language Classes | Edutopia - 4 views

  • 2. Incorporate listening and drawing activities with Pear Deck: Pear Deck is the perfect way to make your Google Slides interactive. Try using the Pear Deck Chrome extension for listening and drawing activities: Add a Pear Deck interactive “Drawing” slide and read a description aloud.For example, I will read the following description aloud (in Spanish) to my Spanish I classes: “The boy is tall, thin, and has black, curly hair and green eyes. The boy is feeling happy because it is warm and sunny outside. He likes to listen to music and read, but he does not like to study or play sports.”As I read off this description, students draw what they hear. Once their drawings are complete, I ask them to restate what they drew aloud. You can also ask them to write about what they drew. Students are enthused when I project all of their drawings on the board—each student’s drawing is different and has its own style, even though everyone heard the same description.
  • Host an online discussion via Padlet: Padlet allows students to view a prompt and respond on an online discussion board. If you want to engage students in a digital discussion rather than an oral one, you can have them respond with text, images, videos, or links.
  • view a music video and type out the lyrics according to what they hear

      Very versatile. Good for recreating whiteboard assignments for an online environment.

      This is huge! Students can see and comment, all on one page.
  • Padlet allows for synchronous or asynchronous collaboration. Learners can share ideas, materials, audio and video.  They can then comment on these.

  • any level of learner. As learners add their own posts, what skill they develop depends on what task given is to them. Learners can develop writing skills (e.g. write a short description of a person you admire) or speaking skills (record yourself telling an anecdote). They can also brainstorm vocabulary related to a topic to activate existing knowledge before a reading or listening text. As learners all type their ideas at the same time, it’s an inclusive and efficient way of collecting ideas.
    • danigeary
       
      For big classes, the right padlet activities allow the instructor to "eyeball" the content for grading.
  • For the teacher, Padlet helps them to better assess the learning of everyone in the class, something that can be tricky even with medium-sized classes.

HyperPadlets & Padlet Timelines - Jake Miller - 1 views

  • Format Flexibility! There are 8 different Padlet formats: Wall, Canvas, Stream, Grid, Shelf, Backchannel, Map & Timeline. Screenshot from padlet.com
    • nurlider
       
      These templates can be templates for a variety of projects.
  • Remake – Want to reuse a Padlet in multiple classes or across multiple years?
    • nurlider
       
      I can also use copy of student entries as a platform for in-class activities.
  • Your students will not need an account to access your Padlets or post/comment on your Padlets.  They would, however, need an account in order to make their own.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Content Flexibility! Once you select a format, your posts on the Padlet can be pretty much anything!
  • Customization – Padlet gives you lots of options in the settings area.  You can customize the appearance, change the URL to make it easier to access, turn comments on/off, turn reactions (stars, upvotes, likes, grades) on/off, require approval for posts, filter profanity. 
  • Real-time Collaboration – If you choose to allow collaboration, you and your collaborators (students! teachers! parents!) can collaborate in realtime. 
  • 2. Second, I didn’t know that Padlet had a Timeline option!After Matt’s tweet, I discovered that a Timeline option was added by Padlet in December 2019
    • nurlider
       
      I used the timeline option for one of Week 4 activities I designed. It was for a biography reading. It worked really well.

4 Synchronous Tools for Online Teaching and Learning | Top Hat - 1 views

    • pamh6832
       
      Although this article is not specifically about teaching a world language class AND it is written by someone who is promoting a product (2 strkes against the article!), it does succinctly share 4 tools to improve the synchronous aspects of a course.
    • pamh6832
       
      The activity we did with FlipGrid at the beginning of the course was similar in purpose to doing an icebreaker activity in Zoom. Even though our small group interactions were asynchronous, having those visual interactions with FlipGrid and other tools helped make me feel more connected with my coursemates.

    I have been loving the NFLC videos this week! So many incredible sessions! They will be available on YouTube until August 31!

    Cool resource. Thanks for sharing!
  •  
    Wonderful resource for so many activities! Thank you!
  •  
    Thanks for sharing this. Lots of good information and inspiration here.
  •  
    Thanks for sharing! I love her comment "The digital native is a myth." This is exactly what my colleagues and I have been noticing as our school went 1:1. Students understand how to use tech for social media and gaming but not as a tool for school.
  •  
    Looks like the perfect video to watch as a prelude to doing the hard work of shifting a course to online format. The essential reminder for me: "Pick a few tools and use them over and over again." Better for students, better for us....

Day Five: Synchronous Learning Activities: Online Pedagogy - 2 views

  • Students collaborate with guests on projects to gain diverse expertise.
  • If a participant has a comment or question, he/she should type "!" for a comment or "?" for a question.
  • f a participant wishes to change the topic of conversation, this is signaled by typing "new?" or "new!". If no one objects by typing "!" or "?" and proceeding with the present topic
  •  
    It's good to see the list of types of "interaction". It's something I'll want to go back to to guide not just what I want students to do... but, what I want us to do TOGETHER. The "Educause" links don't work for me.
