  • This might be the French Yelp, the Spanish-version of Craigslist, or the Japanese-language weather app.
  • there is also a slew of applications designed specifically for independent language learning, but these are not representative of the push for task-based instruction in higher education
  • Well-designed apps provide intuitive interfaces that help you anticipate the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary terms.

Build a Collaborative Classroom with Microsoft Teams | Cult of Pedagogy - 10 views

    • jmgabbard
       
      I'm still learning about all of the features of MS Teams, but this one surprised me. I can imagine it being a good tool for synchronous and asynchronous language learning - not just video conferencing.
  • App Integrations I love this feature: When you need to take things up a notch, you can use some of the most popular apps in education right inside the Teams environment, including Kahoot!, Nearpod, Quizlet, and Flipgrid. If a particular app will be used frequently by a group, you can add a designated tab to a channel just for that app, so users can get to it quickly.
  •  
    I agree that app integrations is the best feature. We are using Canvas for our classes at my institution but we are also using Teams for university wide communication. Both are new but the experience so far has been positive. I may follow up on the advise to start a small project on Teams to learn more about its best features in building a collaborative classroom. Thanks for sharing!
  •  
    Thanks for posting this, Jordan, and reminding me that here at UofL we've got MS Teams as an additional resource! I've just check to see if there's the possibility of integration with Blackboard and it appears there is. (I'm glad to have the option for synchronous class meetings, since I've always found Blackboard Collaborate to be a little baroque in its layout....)
  •  
    Thanks for the tip @greghutcheson ! It hadn't occurred to me to look for Teams/Blackboard compatibility. I'm not sure yet if I prefer Teams over Blackboard Collaborate, but if one runs more smoothly than the other, that would be my pick!

Team WhiteBoarding with Twiddla - Painless Team Collaboration for the Web - 0 views

    This looks like a fun app for online discussions - whiteboard, text board, and a board where you can put a webpage and mark it up.  The "audio line" were all busy when I tried it - that would be especially nice - but you could use this app alongside Skype or other voice chat.

Accelerating English and Math on the Go - Language Magazine - 3 views

  • In addition to taking classes, she supplements her education by using Learning Upgrade, a smartphone app with English and math lessons for adults.
  • Along with our face-to-face instruction and tutoring, we offer an additional resource to our adult students: educational software via mobile technology.
  • This access to educational software allows those with limited scheduled availability, or those who do not yet have an assigned tutor, to learn at their own pace and on their own time.

  • In addition to taking classes, she supplements her education by using Learning Upgrade, a smartphone app with English and math lessons for adults.
  • The app’s 300 lessons are designed by educators and use songs, videos, and games to engage even the most reluctant of students. Every level provides practice problems, accompanied by immediate intervention and remediation with multimedia supports.
  • I use the app when I have a little bit of time, anywhere. Sometimes I’m in the laundry, waiting between washing and drying.”

      This is one advantage of technology: anywhere, anytime!
  • Both generations are equally willing to help one another bridge the gap, which in turn boosts the effectiveness of both approaches.
  • So far, the use of smartphones by students at Midland Need to Read has accelerated the learning process, giving students the motivation needed to improve their English language
  •  
    In my district, we are always being asked to connect our language teaching to other disciplines. Using Smartphone to do so is smart. However, not all of my students have these devices. They can definitely share a device. I like how this article is geared toward adult learners who can't or don't have time to attend physical classes. The App allows them to access this knowledge anywhere anytime. Thanks Akiko.

Start With Students: One Teacher's Design-Thinking Journey | Education Innovation D.C. - 5 views

  • My essential idea after many rounds of brainstorming was that students would self-select their station work after analyzing their individual data and creating their own personalized weekly learning plan.
    • msdianehahn
       
      We use iPads for games and other online learning apps on a regular basis.  Students have tracked their progress on apps only as far as getting so far = stickers/rewards.  Goal setting wasn't involved, nor were specific goals related to skills students needed to learn.  This could be a simple addition to our stations to make classroom learning with iPad apps more effective.
  •  
    How to incorporate technology into station learning.
  •  
    Hi Diane: I am wondering, does your school support iPads for students in your class? or, is it required that they purchase their own. Is this an online class or a face-face class?
  •  
    We have a classroom set of iPads that are available. Students don't purchase them, the school got them through a grant.
