TeachPaperless: The Five Minute Twitter Verb Crunch Drill - 4 views

    • Alyssa Rutherford
       
      I am trying to think how this would work in a Spanish classroom. I wish I had instant access to technology like this teacher appears to have!
    • Kim Fynboh
       
      I agree! I wish I did too!
    • anonymous
       
      I think my school has one or two class sets of iTouches... Otherwise, it would be more likely that in a University class more students would have thier own iWhatevers to use...

      I just logged into my twitter page, put the hash tag into the search and watched the tweets load onto the page. If you like twitterdeck check out wiffiti.com

      We don't "parse" verbs in Spanish... I don't really know what that is... conjugate? We also don't do much translating... I wonder how a person could use this idea in a more communicative way?

      Now I read it - I should have known it was a Latin teacher talking about parsing...
    • anonymous
       
      It could be like a waterfall of tweets... hablar hablo hablas habla hablamos hablais hablan. Teacher calls out the verb and tense and each student (or student group) tweets in the collection of conjugations (parses??).
    • anonymous
       
      It's like tweeting parts of that book 501 Spanish verbs.

    This is so cool! I know it would keep my students more engaged and focused on what could potentially be boring grammatical exercises. I do not currently use an on-line notebook and want to use Google docs more often. Lots to think about!

  • You’ll find students learn more, are more motivated and their writing improves faster when they’re allowed to write posts.  And the best way to get them started is by writing posts on the class blog.

    I discovered this post from an earlier carlatech class when searching "German" in our group, and I thought it was worth bringing to our group's attention. The site offers hundreds of songs in many languages. Would make for a fun Friday reward activity.

    Interesting--when you re-post an older bookmark, it shows up with the date of the original posting, but I added this on 19 Jul 13.

    I wish there was Arabic as well.
  •  
    Excellent resource. Three levels, Karaoke and Expert options seem fun. What is really interesting is ability for instructor to customize their own activities.
  •  
    Fun resource. As always, though, I would recommend proofing the exercises. I just noticed a number of transcription errors in some of the songs.
  •  
    Awesome resource, thanks for sharing, I can use this for my weekend school. Middle school students would really enjoy it. :D
  •  
    anyone try the karaoke? or, is there another karaoke site? i have a student trip to Mexico City coming up and my wouldn't that be a fabulous fundraiser!

The 5 Best Free Annotation Tools For Teachers - eLearning Industry - 7 views

  •  
    I like the ideas offered on this site! I have never heard of web annotation before.
  •  
    In the reading classes I teach in ESOL, we teach academic reading skills to non-native English speakers to get the students ready for college-level textbooks. These tools would be very useful for students if we ever have any digital texts we read for the class.
  •  
    I had a hard time reading from the link! Once opened there were a ton of moving pop-ups that were very distracting. Did anyone else have that issue?

    This recorded webinar covered some of the ground that our Web 2.0 class covered in 2014, but it had a much more thorough discussion of Google+ Hangout and Skype that we found. Highly recommended.

Funky Character Maps | The Creative Language Class - 30 views

    • kjjsk8
       
      I thought that this was a cool graphic organizer for character traits rather than doing a traditional way of listing/t-chart/ven-diagram/etc.
    • yflanders
       
      Very creative idea, I would love to try it out with my class. Thanks for sharing.
  • Furthermore, it connects to English Arts and my unit on describing people.

      This connects to my Legends and Myths unit and helps me assess content and not just language.

      I like this idea - I'd like to try this with my Level 1 students. We have a children's version of Don Quijote that might lend itself to this. Something else to plan!

EduCanon - Freetech4teachers - 0 views

  • Using eduCanon, like other services similar to it, could be a good way to build introductory and review lessons for students. The option to track your students' progress is nice for anticipating the questions your students might bring to class and for seeing what you might need to review in-person with your students.
    • srafuller
       
      This allows a more personalized face to face review of the flipped lesson, allowing more class-time for actual practice of the lesson.

Flipping my Spanish Classroom: Beginning of the Year Assessments with Google Forms - 9 views

  • I loved that the Google Form gathered all of the responses together so I could look at student answers all together to see if their answers were a pattern of things that none of them learned, or if it was just a few students that needed review.
    • effeinstein
       
      I like this idea for pre-assessments and I wonder how it would work for the actual assessments too. Has anyone tried google forms for testing?
    • smuske
       
      I have used it for formative tests that go in the "participation" category. I like being able to look at the results immediately so I can give the class immediate feedback.
  • I am armed with some knowledge of the classes overall abilities as well as some individual struggles so I can help specific students one-on-one. I have adjusted some of my review activities to better focus on what students need to work on.
    • cwelton
       
      I've done intakes at the beginning of the year at the adv. level to see why they chose the elective and what they hope to learn, but this seems like a great way to assess 'summer attrition' at the lower levels. On it!
    • afarachnps
       
      Agreed. Last year, I asked students to use post it notes on a drawn scale that I put on the wall, to represent how much Spanish they felt they knew. A Google quiz would be a great way of doing a follow-up to this activity. Moreover, I could think of a concluding self-assessment: now that you have a better sense of how much Spanish you know, what goals can you think of for this year? I wonder if I can also use Google for a goals activity, too?

  •  
    @effeinstein Yes, all of my vocabulary quizzes are on Google Forms and I use GF extensively for gathering reflections pre-post units, post field trips, in general, anytime I need to gather data from students about what we are working on-- Sometimes I collect their emails, other times anonymous, if I feel that I might gather more frank feedback that way-- The spreadsheet of data is nice to look over when considering how well something went, or to make tweaks for the next iteration of work. I can also pull quotes for presentations to faculty and families, or in writing narrative reports-- Also makes grading quick and easy-- Sometimes I print out the quizzes for quick one on one feedback for students--
  •  
    It is also a great tool for getting feedback from the students.

The Right Way to Show Movies in Class | Creating Lifelong Learners - 6 views

  •  Ask students to evaluate the movie.
    • msdianehahn
       
      I think this is an important metacognitive moment that gets students to think about themselves as learners. It also goes along with teaching media literacy.
  •  Show curricular movies at the beginning of units and not at the end.  This gives students background information that they need to understand a unit before teaching that unit.
  • ...1 more annotation...

      Interestingly, I haven't shown really any movies in my class. I think I could definitely start to use them effectively by incorporating them into a preview activity as we begin a unit.  This provides context for all the vocabulary words my ESL students are going to be learning.
