How to Teach Remotely with Flipgrid - YouTube - 6 views

  •  
    I like the features of padlet and have personally used the platform in several webinars, but have yet to use the tool myself! I think that will definitely try this platform in the upcoming school year.

    Very useful. Thanks!
  •  
    I was thinking of using FlipGrid for next semester, so this came at the right time. Very clear and engaging presentation. Thank you!
  •  
    I will be exploring the Flipgrid for our ASL classes. This will be a helpful tool to use with students to sign their comments. No voice etc.....nice tool!
  •  
    This is a MUST! I'm saving this because this is a very useful tool for ASL classes!
  •  
    When I was video recording with Flipgrid interactively at the beginning of the training course, I already thought I found a very useful tool for my students of elementary Chinese in a hybrid class for the upcoming semester. Having watched this step-by-step YouTube introduction to it, I'm confident they are going to like this platform and be definitely benefited with all its video, audio, and drawing features in the remote interactive learning. Thanks for sharing this!
  •  
    This was a great explanation and i am definitely interested in using this for my students in the FALL.. i am realizing through this course how much more i retain if i am watching instructional videos as opposed to reading HOW TO.
  •  
    Thank you so much for sharing this! I've been discussing creating new FlipGrid assignments with my colleagues, but have never personally used it before. It seems like the least intimidating student video platform that I've seen so far. I love the snapchat-esque filters, stickers, etc... that users can play with.
  •  
    I am also thinking of trying it in the fall after I heard a lot of good things about it. I prefer it to VoiceThread (I really did not like the chaotic presentation of the different submissions). And it can be integrated into Canvas, but I still have to figure out the details of that (would I leave comments in FlipGrid or Canvas?).
  •  
    His videos are so helpful! Thanks for sharing. Does anyone know if Flipgrid integrates with Sakai? A big concern for me is to keep things simple and streamlined for students. Sending them information through different channels seems to just ask for things to get overlooked or lost. Thanks!
  •  
    It sound like this guy is in the right place at the right time! I love reading but honestly video tutorials can be sooo helpful and nice to watch when they are well produced! I've seen in his channel another tool I love and I haven't used for a while: Adobe Spark.

Padlet | The Digital Teacher | Cambridge English - 2 views

    • danigeary
       
      Very versatile. Good for recreating whiteboard assignments for an online environment.
  • 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.
  • Padlet allows for synchronous or asynchronous collaboration. Learners can share ideas, materials, audio and video.  They can then comment on these.

      This is huge! Students can see and comment, all on one page.
    • 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.

    I really appreciated reading this as I just tried recording my first screencastify minilecture yesterday and found it really challenging! One tip that I got from this that I will try is to put the recording in EdPuzzle so that I can put in some comprehension checks!
  •  
    I found this to be a very informative and helpful article with lots of practical suggestions and useful links. I wish I had read this before I tried to make videos with Screencast-o-Matic for my classes this past Spring. I could have used his suggestions! I will definitely be referring to it when I begin to make videos for my classes this fall. I too liked how he put his video into EdPuzzle to increase student interactivity. Thanks for sharing it!
  •  
    Hey this is really useful. I have a feeling that I'm going to be using screencasts often as I convert all my teaching to online in the fall. It will be most useful for grammar explanation types of lessons. It looks like it is just what is needed to fill that need for personal explanations that the students want. I prefer interactive worksheets but I get the feeling students don't like them as much as I do.
  •  
    Thank you for sharing! This will come in handy as I'm prepping for hybrid teaching this fall.
  •  
    I used Screencast-o-matic for sharing my presentation while creating a video and it was a great program. Kaltura is also a great way to create presentations.

Using VoiceThread for Language Classes - VoiceThread - 3 views

  • The true strength of this application was the bi-directional learning that happened from student to student.

      Good platform for asynchronous student-student engagement that can be reviewed by instructor

    Blog post with VoiceThread activity ideas for world language class

    I like how useful this tool is for engaging students, pushes them to develop skills faster, for assessments and to avoid the "drill and kill" process that is demotivating.

Música {and music videos} in the language classroom | Teaching a World Language - 10 views

    • ncsargo
       
      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.
    • ncsargo
       
      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
       
      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.
  • For #authres: Bilblioteca Musical: http://musicaenespanol.weebly.com/ LyricsTraining: http://lyricstraining.com/ Zambombazo {Cancionero}: http://zachary-jones.com/zambombazo/tag/cancionero/ TodoELE {Canciones}: http://www.todoele.net/canciones/Cancion_list.asp El Mundo Birch: http://elmundodebirch.wordpress.com/2014/03/30/spanish-music-database-updated/ Youtube {different channels}: https://www.youtube.com/ MTVTres: http://www.tr3s.com/ Los40: http://los40.com/ For non-natives/ELE: Rockalingua: http://www.rockalingua.com/ Senor Wooly: http://www.senorwooly.com/ Realidades I, II y III {Canciones de HipHop}
  • 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
       
      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.
    • elenistef7
       
      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!

Student Engagement in the Online Classroom - Do Your Job Better - The Chronicle of High... - 0 views

  •  
    Some good advice for online and hybrid course engagement. One of the comments below says - even for F2F classes! One of the comments also questions the point about responding to all student posts - saying that it's better to let them discuss without you, only adding in occasionally or with a summary or notes in a weekly wrap-up. This "hands-off" discussion method is the route Alyssa and I have taken, what has worked for you?

Flipping the Classroom for ESL learners | Online Learning - 3 views

    Tenth grade ESL literature class, and how the teacher changed his mind about flipping a classroom.  I wonder how he deals with access to technology- if that is an issue students face.

    This was very interesting for me to read and made the flipped classroom model seem purposeful and useful in an ESL setting. I also worry about access to technology though...thanks for sharings!

The Flipped Classroom Provides Foreign Language Students Time to Speak the Language - 1 views

  •  
    I vividly recall sitting in my son's Spanish classroom during an Open House back in 2011, listening to the teacher explain how they reviewed vocabulary and grammar during class. She reminded us of the importance of finding opportunities for students to listen to, and even better, speak the language outside of class.
  •  
    Interesting comment promoting the discussed topic applied to Spanish.

Facebook-ing and the Social Generation: A New Era of Language Learning - 1 views

  •  
    Abstract: In this paper, we examine the use of Facebook (FB) as a social networking tool in an intermediate French class. After reviewing the available studies on FB in language instruction, we analyze surveys that were administered to students as well as student FB posts. We look at the potential benefits of social media, specifically FB, and discuss its impact on foreign language learning. We aim to address how FB is being used in the language classroom, how students respond to the integration of this social networking site in courses, the attitudes of higher education foreign language learners towards FB, as well as the role of FB in new learning spaces and with today's learners. An analysis of survey data suggests that students respond in a positive manner toward the use of FB in education and highlights some differences in the way FB is used in both personal and academic settings.
