      I find the video on nearpod eye opening. The coming generations to our classrooms when we don't allow the use of phones for mere texting. It is a completely different idea when mobile technology can be used for students to share class related information.

      I really appreciate this sentiment - that we should be open to the changing ways in which we communicate. Mobile devices, for example, should be considered a resource and not a hindrance in the classroom.

  • We aim to provide examples of authentic language spoken in its natural cultural environment so that students of all ages can better understand the interplay between a language and its culture. The videos were filmed with handheld camcorders and microphones provided by the Center. The video and audio quality varies.
    • MariaEmicle Lopez
       
      This resource page gives access to spoken language and culture through authentic video and audio materials. There are materials in different languages on a variety of topics raging from basic communication, to culture, social life, transportation, etc. I found materials from some of Latin American countries and Spain on necessitites>emergency situations (Emergency Room, Taking the Physical Exam, etc.) for my Medical Spanish class.
  • Students should be aware that we have tried to remain true to the language our subjects actually uttered. Therefore, we have not corrected grammatical errors and the videos sometimes show highly colloquial language, local slang, and regional specific speech patterns.

  • This site contains hundreds of visual aids (illustrations) that can be used to support instructional tasks such as describing objects and people (i.e., teaching vocabulary) or describing entire events and situations (i.e., teaching grammar).

      What I find useful from using illustrations on this page is that they are in clipboard design and are free of words in English or any other language. Each illustration allows for a variety of activities raging from reviewing vocabulary, grammar, being creative using different skills: writing, speaking; individual or small group work.

  • raising awareness of personal branding. “I think it’s really important for students to think about the content of their accounts and the pictures they use,” which form part of a lasting “digital footprint,” she says. Faculty members often must remind students of the permanence of the Internet and its long-term effect on their professional image.

  • “Our students don’t really need to be taught how to connect to each other online, but teaching them to be aware of their online environments, their roles in those environments, and what their roles could be in those environments is part of encouraging their cultural awareness. I think that we do a disservice to our students when we try to keep the internet out of our classrooms, and that we should instead be encouraging them to engage as much as possible (and as critically as possible) with the endless resources that the internet places at their fingertips.”
    • Amy Uribe
       
      I still have colleagues who will not allow laptops or smartphones in the classroom.  I like the idea of teaching students how to act in different online environments.  It is a useful tool.
  •  
    Twitter, the popular microblogging site that allows users to post 140-character "tweets," both intrigues and irritates faculty, according to a Faculty Focus survey. Some embrace it as a clever way to teach concision and get students writing, thinking, and connecting with the course material and one another.
