Teaching, Tech and Twitter: Ignite a Flipgrid Fire - 1 views

  • 5. GridPals! An incredible idea from Bonnie McClelland, GridPals connects classrooms across the globe creating virtual pen pals. You can take advantage of GridPals using Flipgrid One. However, if one of the GridPals teachers has Flipgrid classroom then you can become CoPilots on the same grid giving both teachers access to the educator dashboard.

Multiple Choice Exam Theory (Just In Time For The New Term) - ProfHacker - The Chronicl... - 2 views

  •  
    This doesn't really apply to language level exams, but for those of you who are interested in the MOOC (Massive Online Open Course) and how to get beyond Bloom's level 1 in testing, this article has an interesting idea for multiple choice tests.
  •  
    thanks for the article link, Marlene. I am collecting articles/info about assessment and testing for a board I have going on Pinterest and for a Diigo group I have set up for my students here at my school in Chicago. It's a private group, but I am happy to invite you in if you are interested.

Tomorrow's College - Online Learning - The Chronicle of Higher Education - 2 views

  • The University System of Maryland now requires undergraduates to take 12 credits in alternative learning modes, including online. Texas has proposed a similar rule. The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system is pushing to have 25 percent of credits earned online by 2015.
  • In a test, there's no one telling you that you can't look at the book, says Ariel Hatten, 20, a junior and nursing major who considers her online class an easy A. "No one enforces you to do the right thing" in an online course, Ms. Hatten says. "It's at your discretion. I care about my grade, so if I don't know the answer, I'm not gonna let myself fail when I have an opportunity to look in the book."
  • When Central Florida began experimenting with online courses in the mid-1990s, it didn't expect demand from on-campus students like Ms. Black. Officials figured they'd get students who lived far away. But early on, about 75 percent of online students were already on the campus or lived nearby.

  • The university has a severe shortage of classroom space.
  • The university remains 40 percent short on classroom space. One of its coping strategies is invisible on a campus dotted with new buildings—football stadium, basketball arena, pastel dorms—that scream Traditional State U. UCF has become a hybrid university.
  • Blended classes generate the highest student evaluations of any learning mode at Central Florida, and, like her classmates, Ms. Black is a fan.
  • One of her mixed-mode professors, Youngsoo Choi, likes the online component for another reason: It makes students grapple with material before they meet for class.
  • ther students customize their own unofficial blends
  • Some students show up more than an hour early for a seat, but attendance isn't mandatory. Students can also watch online videos of the lectures any time. Mr. Harrison catches some lectures and skips others. He likes the freedom of these video classes.
  • There's a lot of distractions that come with putting courses on the Internet."
  • His first experience with an online course was a struggle. He got lazy. He'd tell himself, I'll watch the lecture between 2 and 4 p.m. Something would come up. He'd say, I'll watch two tomorrow. He fell behind. There was no help. He got a C.
  • "I tell them, 'Listen, I don't want you to think that I'm stalking you or anything, but I will certainly try to get ahold of you if you're not turning in work and participating,'" she says. Some are adolescents, she notes. Most don't have online experience.

About Google Scholar - 0 views

  • Google Scholar helps you find relevant work across the world of scholarly research.
    • anonymous
       
      We often tell our students to avoid doing research online and to go to the library. However, we should be encouraging both. The issue with online is credibility of source. Students need to practice determining which are scholarly sources, worth of paper citation, and which are not.
  • Search all scholarly literature from one convenient place Explore related works, citations, authors, and publications Locate the complete document through your library or on the web Keep up with recent developments in any area of research
    • anonymous
       
      All of these actions need to become second nature for our students

The Best Ways to Build Student's Interpretive Listening Skills | Calico Spanish - 6 views

  • “Students should practice picking up key words and extrapolating main ideas using the context of what they hear.” @ChristeyHughes responded, “En français, we often refer to ‘la tolérance de l’ambiguité’ to be able to work through, perhaps not getting each word.”
  • “…Make sure that you select an appropriate length for novices–small doses of ‘anything.’”
  • “Multiple choice requires no production of any kind. Really, it’s only good for finding out what they don’t know.” @LauraJaneBarber said, “I like to do listening as input for a writing or speaking task. Can show true comprehension better than multiple choice.”
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • “Multiple choice helps lower the affective filter–the interpretation in itself is a higher order skill.” She went on to say, “Multiple choice shouldn’t be end goal, though.” @AMor3liana said, “I think multiple choice is an ok option at the beginning of the school year. It gives some students that extra boost of confidence in the target language.”

    I was searching for your highlight, as I am still very rusty in this Diigo skill. Could not find how to see it.

    "On International and national levels, a number of frameworks, self-assessment tools and training programmes have been developed to describe the facets of digital competence for educators and to help them assess their competence, identify their training needs and offer targeted training. Analysing and clustering these instruments, this report presents a common European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators (DigCompEdu)."

CALL communities and culture - short papers from EUROCALL 2016 - Google Books - 1 views

  •  
    I don't think I can annotate this article because it is a Google book and has access limitations. I have worked with Dr. Christine Appel, one of the authors of the article "Synchronous tandem language learning in a MOOC context: A study on task design and learner performance". My main interest here is: "How can we best design online synchronous tasks to achieve the optimal outcome?". Sometimes we focus too much on the tool and not so much on how we can make the most of it. The article studies real tasks to find the effects task design have in student performance.

ASL in Academic Settings: Language Features - YouTube - 1 views

  •  
    This is a big issue we are facing in our community. This what I was mentioning about using media as academic resources. Also many different fields required a very specific vocabulary so often interpreters are not able to keep up with academic languages because they are taught the community language.

30 creative ways to use Padlet for teachers and students - BookWidgets - 9 views

  • Let your students answer some important exit ticket questions like “what did you learn today?”, “What didn’t you understand?” or “What questions do you still have?”.It gets better…Here are some other exit ticket promts your students could answer: Write down three things you learned today. If you had to explain today’s lesson to a friend, what would you tell him/her? What question do you have about what we learned today? What part of the lesson did you find most difficult? What would you like me to go over again next lesson? Write down two questions you would put in a quiz about today’s lesson. What were the main points we covered today? Did the group activity contribute to your understanding of the topic? Why? Read this problem … What would be your first step in solving it? I used app X extensively today. Was it helpful? Why or why not?
  • Complete the storyCreate a story and ask students how it should continue. Students can post their ideas on the Padlet. Finally, take some of your students' ideas and complete the story. You’ll have some funny stories!
  • What is Padlet?
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • Padlet can be used by students and by teachers. With padlet you can create an online post-it board that you can share with any student or teacher you want. Just give them the unique Padlet link. Padlet allows you to insert ideas anonymously or with your name. It’s easy to use and very handy.
  • Whoever has the Padlet board opened on his smartphone or computer, can see what’s on it and what everyone is writing. Students just have to take a device and start adding little sticky notes online. They can see all the ideas gathered on the teacher board immediately.
    • pamh6832
       
      Clear description of what Padlet is and how to use it.
  • Sharing a Padlet board is easy; choose for a QR code or a link.
  • Let your students insert the link in the browser or in the Padlet app. They can ‘continue as guest’ so they just have to scan the qr code with the Padlet app or type in the URL, without creating an account. Shortly after, they will be directed to your first Padlet board.
  • How to post things on Padlet? Well, there are a few ways to do this: double click anywhere on the board; drag files in; paste from clipboard; save as bookmark with Padlet mini; or just click the ‘+’ button in the lower right corner.
  • 2. Live question bank Let your students ask questions during the lesson. It’s very handy when students don’t understand something or need a better explanation. Stop your lesson 10 minutes early and go over the questions. This way students who are afraid to ask questions can still ask their questions anonymously. It gives a voice to every student in the room, even to the shy ones.
    • pamh6832
       
      A good way to help ensure student engagement and comprehension. Similar to the "Chat" feature on Zoom.
  • 14. Prior knowledge Try to figure out what students already know about the topic you’re about to teach. What prior knowledge do your students have about that particular topic and what don’t they know? Students just post their knowledge on Padlet, so you can see how to build your lesson.
    • pamh6832
       
      For reviewing previous year information. Always important, but perhaps even more so after Spring 2020 and distance learning.
  • 23. Geocaching For physical exercises, students have to go walking more. Let you students do some geocaching and let them post pictures of themselves and the treasure to the Padlet board. It will encourage the others to find the treasures as well.
  • Online student portfolio

      I am going to try this in my language classes.
