Google Apps for ePortfolios - 0 views

  •  
    Helen Barrett is the "portfolio" guru from many years back. This is an interesting view and comparison of various Google docs - to think about ways you might use these apps for a portfolio system for your students.

    This is obviously very one-sided, to promote the special characteristics of this system, but interesting, nonetheless.

(PDF) Exploring the affordances of WeChat for... - 2 views

  • Web 2.0 as “a second generation, or more personalised, communicative form of the World Wide Web that emphasises active participation, connectivity, collaboration and sharing of knowledge and ideas among users
  • there is a longer time lag between sending and receiving text messages or audio files via the chat facility, although both parties are online at the same time. We thus coined a new phrase to capture the speed of such interaction, semi-synchronous, which is under investigation in this research.

      'semi-synchronous' engagement for language learning seems highly useful, to allow students time to formulate responses and even research vocabulary or grammar structures that they need to use before production in TL.
  • there is a tendency to not reach the stage of resolution in online asynchronous text-based discussion
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • It was hypothesised that, in comparison to synchronous conversations, more accurate output would be generated in semi-synchronous dialogues, as this would allow students with a little more time to organise their output while waiting for their partner’s responses. Furthermore, we hoped that semi-synchronous interaction would function as scaffolding for synchronous conversation, as most of the participants had not yet achieved an advanced level of speaking proficiency in their target languages.
  • facilitated the development of their speaking proficiency.
  • more feedback and more accurate output emerged,
  • check their WeChat messages at least once a day and reply as soon as possible; • learn to be a helpful tutor and provide as much feedback as possible; • ask their language partner to repeat and/or explain anything they did not understand; • ask their language partner to express the same thing in different words, if failing to understand; • not be afraid of making mistakes; • correct each other’s mistakes; and • speak clearly at a normal speed.
  • suggested that tasks “start from specific questions to more open-ended discussion” as students became more familiar with each other and with the learning environment.
  • the majority of students preferred the recorded speech and the writing task in comparison to the semi-synchronous conversation

      of course, but this doesn't mean the semi-synchronous activities weren't perhaps the best for their actual language learning...

"Role of CMC-Embedded Webquests in Enhancement of Online Students' Know" by Radhika Lothe - 1 views

    • anonymous
       
      So many students are so thrilled when you start talking about Germanic culture with them--as if they've been starving for it all along and are just waiting for those insights! Using some asynchronous and some classroom-based synchronous activities could be an excellent way to provide some of this information while concentrating in class on grammar, vocab, etc.
  • Findings emerging from a constant comparison method analysis indicate that the CMC-embedded webquests played a significant role in advancing the online students' knowledge and understanding of German culture.
  • students appreciated and enjoyed learning about the target culture in way that they retained the information even two months after they were completed
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • they valued the opportunities provided by the two CMC-embedded webquests to interact with their respective group members in asynchronous and synchronous modes of communication.
  • synchronous online discussions evoke a higher `sense of community' and `groups', `sense of purpose' for online learners
  • higher frequencies of `Praise/ Encouragement,' `Task Regulation,' and `Challenge,' in asynchronous `e-turns' demonstrates that distance learners are able to produce more cohesive and detailed responses in asynchronous online discussions
  • culture, an often neglected aspect of FL instruction

Sutori Analytics - YouTube - 1 views

    I love this tool for how it looks visually. But is it much different from using a Google Presentation?
  •  
    You know this video has inspired me to look further into using Sutori! Thank you for posting:)

    https://www.sutori.com/story/copy-of-la-hora-de-geni--9QrtBUS4ceciyrx9umENsiLj I created this one. Feedback from classmates is that it's a bit overwhelming. I figured out a way to chunk it though, if you're wondering.
