Skype and Skype in the Classroom: Options for Language Teaching and Learning - 4 views

Skype in the classroom Skype in the classroom, launched in March 2011, is a website especially designed for educational purposes. It is a platform where teachers and students can disseminate information about their classes, share educational resources, and find partners to start classroom projects.

Language teachers and learners may find the “Languages” category especially useful because they can search for Skype language lessons that meet their needs (see Figure 4 for some examples of Skype language lessons). These lessons provide opportunities for learning another language or practicing language via language exchanges.

Own Your Space - Online Safety Ebook for Teens - 0 views
-
From Richard Byrne's blog: "Own Your Space is a free, sixteen chapter ebook designed to educate tweens and teens about protecting themselves and their stuff online. This ebook isn't a fluffy, general overview book. Each chapter goes into great detail explaining the technical threats that students' computers face online as well as the personal threats to data that students can face online." It's free, downloadable, and it looks to me like it should be read by any student with internet access - and their parents and teachers!!!

This might be the French Yelp, the Spanish-version of Craigslist, or the Japanese-language weather app.

there is also a slew of applications designed specifically for independent language learning, but these are not representative of the push for task-based instruction in higher education

Evernote's Penultimate for iPad now behaves more like a real notebook - 2 views
-
I have been using this app as a smart board. The advantages are: you can add/edit notes as you teach, highlight vocabulary or grammar elemen, you can also use notes from previous lessons and you could also email the presented material on the Ipad to students. Students love it and it makes learning more interactive.

This sounds cool, my husband has been really happy with using the evernote. I'm going to try this out too. :D

I use evernote all of the time for a personal "to-do" list but I never thought of using it for class. Thanks for the great ideas!

The Educator's Guide to Copyright, Fair Use, and Creative Commons - The Edublogger - 3 views

This may seem obvious, but judging by the notices we have received, many teachers (and especially students) are under the impression that if it is on the web, then it is up for grabs.

This is protocol in my classroom-they may as well learn it right the first time rather than the hard way later. When using Google images: go all the way to the cog wheel pull down on the right side of the toolbar; 2) go down to Advance Search; 3) inside Advanced Image Search, all the way at the bottom is a pulldown for usage rights, select "free to use or share" or, if you need to alter the image in anyway "fee to use share or modify."

That is, in some cases, if an image, text, video, etc. is being used for educational purposes, there might be more flexible copyright rules.

Well, that's a relief, huh?!

Just yesterday I was watching a webinar from a national organization, and on one of the PowerPoint pages I saw a picture of one of my district's students with his PE teacher. I was shocked and wondered how it came to be in this webinar. I can only guess that there was a newpaper article with this picture in the local paper, and that put it out there on the web, and it was found and inserted into this PowerPoint. I also thought it was pretty cool - one of ours in something like that. It was crazy just happening upon it like I did though.

But make sure to check specific copyright restrictions before uploading anything you’ve scanned to the web!

This is a biggie! I know of some teachers who upload all their homework handouts in .pdf format. I can think of only one who might have asked permission to do so. But, why bother buying that textbook's workbook if I can download it from another district for free. I can certainly see publishers having issue with that.
