      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.

      Good example of how an educator used twitter to chat with an author. Also detailed her proposal to admin to override the twitter block. Great if your school blocks twitter.

      I wonder how she did this? I think this would be of high interest for my world geography teachers. Would certainly add a new dimension to reporting out on current events in different parts of the world.
  • Teachers and librarians are finding Twitter’s great for research, too. Karen Burns, a librarian at Gig Harbor High School in Washington state, created a Twitter search widget for current events in Africa to help ninth graders with their research projects.

    Twitter, the micro-blogging platform, is getting more and more popular each and every day. And why wouldn't it? There are countless applications for mobile phones, third-party websites to add functions to it and above all; it's simple to use! So yeah, why wouldn't you use it and why wouldn't you use it to learn Spanish?

  • The potentials for dropping in html objects such as quizzes that enable interaction can make static data much more dynamic. The ability to drop in multimedia and particularly video can lend more significance and impact to the information in the graphic.

      I have not tried this tool, but it sounds like a great combination of things--embedded videos, plus the ability to add quizzes. I am imagining being able to create something like a google-docs quiz or EdPuzzle, and embed within the context of a larger discussion of a topic. This might help to show how one activities fits into a broader unit.

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.

      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

      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.

      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.

    This tool can create and add beautiful videos with photos, text and music for presentational or other communicative activities. The user can begin with a template and ready made images or start from scratch with their own images.

    I tried this tech tool but I couldn't figure out how to make a video that is beyond basic.
  • l0zeng01 on 25 Jul 20
     
    There's a Part 2 that gives further introduction and directions to the tool and its features (see the link attached). Hope it be of help for your further exploration of the tool. https://teachersfirst.com/blog/2020/03/tech-tool-of-the-month-adobe-spark-video-part-2/

    I really like the list in the article, but I realized how many possibilities there are for this tool after looking at the Disco Library tab on the top of the page (if you are looking in a PC). There are so many pre-made activities, and you can add them to your grids. Easy peasy, and you don't have to reinvent the wheel!

      Using eduCanon to embed questions into music videos is far more convenient than answering questions with simple pen and paper. If you aren't an eduCanon fan at the very least these sites are great resources for Spanish language music for interpretive activities.
  • Next, my recent favorite, eduCanon.

      Silent videos can be used to create an interpretive activity for any language. Simon's cat is a good resource for silent videos, the following link also has many great silent videos that work with developing emotional intelligence and creative writing: http://ineverycrea.net/comunidad/ineverycrea/recurso/10-cortometrajes-para-trabajar-la-educacion-emocio/0f46341c-920e-48da-8147-0656407da4f1

      Here is a great interpretive activity; having students use Twitter to convey how a song makes them feel or to write a ministory in 140 characters or less!
    • ncsargo
      ncsargo on 24 Jul 15
       
      I found this idea particularly insightful because I feel students must understand the main idea of the video fairly well to condense the theme into 140 characters!

  • First, let’s talk resources; here are some of my “go-to” music websites for Spanish. Feel free to add your own comments with additional sources that you like to use.
  • This tool can be used in any discipline, with any grade. What a neat way to begin class, end class or assign as an independent practice activity. By embedding music videos into eduCanon, the teacher can pose questions about the actual video or the music lyrics that may appear. Here is a sample video I created in English using a great silent film source: Simon’s Cat
    • annalisaandre
      annalisaandre on 25 Jul 15
       
      I find this idea very interesting. I might use a collection of music videos in eduCanon to work with students about vocabulary related to emotional states.

      I like the idea about using silent films like Simon Cat. Another source for silent films could be Charlie Chaplin.
  • -Have students describe how they feel when listening to the music, in #140charactersorless: write a mini story to go with the music & emotions, post to Twitter or a learning management site used {Edmodo, Schoology, Canvas, etc}, share their stories in small groups, collaborate using Google Docs to create a unique tale based on the music they hear, present their stories to the class {act it out, swap stories with another group, re-enact silently: have classmates reinvent the original story}

    Great resource for using Spanish language music videos and silent videos for interpretive activities, check out my sticky notes for more resources!
