      This is important so you can find them again!

    This is for the iTouch - but it also works on Android devices pretty much the same way

    I like that audioboo is an app. I am pretty much connected to my iphone (it's an extension of my arm) and audioboo seemed to be the only one that was mentioned that had an iphone app.

Google Plus Comes to Google Apps for (Higher) Education - 0 views

    • Abby Bajuniemi
       
      I do have some concerns about privacy with G+, but I am still trying to weigh, in my mind, the benefits vs. the costs of using a slick app like G+ vs. something we already have access to behind a password like Moodle. I am also wondering if the quality of engagement is the same, better or worse than that found in a forum like Moodle.

30 creative ways to use Padlet for teachers and students - BookWidgets - 9 views

  • Let your students answer some important exit ticket questions like “what did you learn today?”, “What didn’t you understand?” or “What questions do you still have?”.It gets better…Here are some other exit ticket promts your students could answer: Write down three things you learned today. If you had to explain today’s lesson to a friend, what would you tell him/her? What question do you have about what we learned today? What part of the lesson did you find most difficult? What would you like me to go over again next lesson? Write down two questions you would put in a quiz about today’s lesson. What were the main points we covered today? Did the group activity contribute to your understanding of the topic? Why? Read this problem … What would be your first step in solving it? I used app X extensively today. Was it helpful? Why or why not?
  • Complete the storyCreate a story and ask students how it should continue. Students can post their ideas on the Padlet. Finally, take some of your students' ideas and complete the story. You’ll have some funny stories!
  • What is Padlet?
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • Padlet can be used by students and by teachers. With padlet you can create an online post-it board that you can share with any student or teacher you want. Just give them the unique Padlet link. Padlet allows you to insert ideas anonymously or with your name. It’s easy to use and very handy.
  • Whoever has the Padlet board opened on his smartphone or computer, can see what’s on it and what everyone is writing. Students just have to take a device and start adding little sticky notes online. They can see all the ideas gathered on the teacher board immediately.

      Clear description of what Padlet is and how to use it.
  • Sharing a Padlet board is easy; choose for a QR code or a link.
  • Let your students insert the link in the browser or in the Padlet app. They can ‘continue as guest’ so they just have to scan the qr code with the Padlet app or type in the URL, without creating an account. Shortly after, they will be directed to your first Padlet board.
  • How to post things on Padlet? Well, there are a few ways to do this: double click anywhere on the board; drag files in; paste from clipboard; save as bookmark with Padlet mini; or just click the ‘+’ button in the lower right corner.
  • 2. Live question bank Let your students ask questions during the lesson. It’s very handy when students don’t understand something or need a better explanation. Stop your lesson 10 minutes early and go over the questions. This way students who are afraid to ask questions can still ask their questions anonymously. It gives a voice to every student in the room, even to the shy ones.
    • pamh6832
       
      A good way to help ensure student engagement and comprehension. Similar to the "Chat" feature on Zoom.
  • 14. Prior knowledge Try to figure out what students already know about the topic you’re about to teach. What prior knowledge do your students have about that particular topic and what don’t they know? Students just post their knowledge on Padlet, so you can see how to build your lesson.

      For reviewing previous year information. Always important, but perhaps even more so after Spring 2020 and distance learning.
  • 23. Geocaching For physical exercises, students have to go walking more. Let you students do some geocaching and let them post pictures of themselves and the treasure to the Padlet board. It will encourage the others to find the treasures as well.

      I am going to try this in my language classes.
  • Complete the story Create a story and ask students how it should continue. Students can post their ideas on the Padlet. Finally, take some of your students' ideas and complete the story. You’ll have some funny stories!

Extempore: A Speaking Practice App - The FLTMAG - 2 views

  • A Speaking Practice App
    • vallb001
       
      I would say compared to Flipgrid the biggest thing is it has a more formal interface, perhaps more appropriate for assessment. I'm not sure if that is worth paying a license though.
  • creation of assignments, houses student responses, and provides a portal for teachers to provide feedback
  • production and recording of speech
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • One comment I often get from students is that they wish they had more frequent, but lower stakes oral assessments. A platform like Extempore begins to make this possible
    • greghutcheson
       
      I'm beginning to see the virtue of lower-stakes oral assessments, but wonder if a tool such as VoiceThread can be configured to perform the same functions as Extempore. (I'd rather go with what we've got at my institution than make the case for purchasing a new site license....)

Skitch in the Classroom | Reading. Writing. Thinking. Sharing. - 3 views

    • msdianehahn
       
      I recently started exploring this app myself after finding it on the app store.  It is helpful to see someone else's use and get ideas! I think the most difficult part is going to be the part sharing students' work with the teacher.
  • For the “Introduction to Skitch” 2-day lesson, I gave the students a choice board of activities. The students had fun creating treasure maps, Skitch selfies, classroom maps.
    • msdianehahn
       
      Such a good idea.  My students would be able to complete the labeling part of this activity, as they are ESL students just learning vocabulary.
