Start With Students: One Teacher's Design-Thinking Journey | Education Innovation D.C. - 5 views

  • My essential idea after many rounds of brainstorming was that students would self-select their station work after analyzing their individual data and creating their own personalized weekly learning plan.
    • msdianehahn
       
      We use iPads for games and other online learning apps on a regular basis.  Students have tracked their progress on apps only as far as getting so far = stickers/rewards.  Goal setting wasn't involved, nor were specific goals related to skills students needed to learn.  This could be a simple addition to our stations to make classroom learning with iPad apps more effective.

    How to incorporate technology into station learning.
  •  
    Hi Diane: I am wondering, does your school support iPads for students in your class? or, is it required that they purchase their own. Is this an online class or a face-face class?
  •  
    We have a classroom set of iPads that are available. Students don't purchase them, the school got them through a grant.

Attitude and Self-Efficacy Change: English Language Learning in Virtual Worlds | Zheng ... - 1 views

  •  
    "This study explored affective factors in learning English as a foreign language in a 3D game-like virtual world, Quest Atlantis (QA). Through the use of communication tools (e.g., chat, bulletin board, telegrams, and email), 3D avatars, and 2D webpage navigation tools in virtual space, nonnative English speakers (NNES) co-solved online content-related problem quests with native English speakers (NES)."

      Students go to class at 8pm?
  • No traditional teacher, he was kind of a cross between air traffic controller and computer dork.
    • Alyssa Ruesch
       
      It seems like this teacher really needs to be on his game to juggle both the content and technology in a very savvy way. I wonder how much time he spends prepping for class.
  • Now students start in sixth grade with a digital citizenship and ethics unit — dangers of cyberbullying included — followed by an introduction to blogging, which requires them to “blog regularly as a means of self-assessment and reflection,

Accelerating English and Math on the Go - Language Magazine - 3 views

  • In addition to taking classes, she supplements her education by using Learning Upgrade, a smartphone app with English and math lessons for adults.
  • Along with our face-to-face instruction and tutoring, we offer an additional resource to our adult students: educational software via mobile technology.
  • This access to educational software allows those with limited scheduled availability, or those who do not yet have an assigned tutor, to learn at their own pace and on their own time.

  • In addition to taking classes, she supplements her education by using Learning Upgrade, a smartphone app with English and math lessons for adults.
  • The app’s 300 lessons are designed by educators and use songs, videos, and games to engage even the most reluctant of students. Every level provides practice problems, accompanied by immediate intervention and remediation with multimedia supports.
  • I use the app when I have a little bit of time, anywhere. Sometimes I’m in the laundry, waiting between washing and drying.”
    • akikomatk
       
      This is one advantage of technology: anywhere, anytime!
  • Both generations are equally willing to help one another bridge the gap, which in turn boosts the effectiveness of both approaches.
  • So far, the use of smartphones by students at Midland Need to Read has accelerated the learning process, giving students the motivation needed to improve their English language
  •  
    In my district, we are always being asked to connect our language teaching to other disciplines. Using Smartphone to do so is smart. However, not all of my students have these devices. They can definitely share a device. I like how this article is geared toward adult learners who can't or don't have time to attend physical classes. The App allows them to access this knowledge anywhere anytime. Thanks Akiko.

    I love the statement about the importance of Math Literacy--YES!!!!

15 ways to use Snapchat in classes and schools - Ditch That Textbook - 1 views

  • 7. Virtual study session — Add your top 10 most important things to remember for a quiz or test as snaps in your Snapchat story. Students can watch your story and it becomes an instant study session.
    • vallb001
       
      Love it! Never thought about it...
    • ericat329
       
      I think this is a really cute way to engage students.
  • 8. Movies — Tell a story 10 seconds at a time. Add short video clips to a story with each video as a scene in the “movie”. If students follow you, this could be a great, fun way for students to engage in content. They could craft their own Snapchat movies incorporating what they learn in your class. Teachers can create fun content that students will want to watch. Schools and school districts can do the same to tell about a sporting event or other community event.

      This sounds like it could be done in a similar way as our twitter story....would a class snapchat story work? it'd likely be chaotic, but perhaps wonderful too? Kids could discuss where the story "went wrong"
  • 11. Be a reporter — Schools and districts can bring news the entire school community through Snapchat. Report on a basketball game by showing quick video clips with score updates. Go backstage at the school play for exclusive access!
    • ericat329
       
      I think there's a lot of cool possibilities that could stem from this idea.
  • 15. Ask a question — Want to bring up an interesting question in class? Stoke the fire by asking it on Snapchat before class. It’ll give students time to think about it beforehand. If students follow you back, they can reply with a snap of their own!
    • ericat329
       
      another interesting possiblity.

6 Media Tools for Powerful Language Teaching | General Educator Blog - 11 views

  •  65 percent of your students are visual learners, according to research
    • atsukofrederick
       
      This assures me that using visual aides helps the students learn a language and that technology can enhance the effective use of visual materials, making it easier to access to the authentic and latest videos and photos.
  • If you’re using new technology, give it a trial run. It’s hard to imagine anything less engaging for students than sitting around waiting while you try to load that video over a poor internet connection or figure out all the glitches with that awesome online game.Do your trial and error ahead of time, before you’re demonstrating media to the class.
    • smuske
       
      While I agree with this, at some point you need a test group. I always try things out first with a section that I know can take a couple of glitches in stride.
    • vallb001
       
      I wish we had enough time to trial everything in advance! Plus, the issue is something might work when you trial it but not at the right time...
  • And one of the best ways to access them is with an innovative tool called FluentU.
    • smuske
       
      I took a quick look at this once, but haven't used it. If anyone out there is using it, I'd like some tips.
    • afarachnps
       
      I haven't used it. Did you try ThinkLink for this week's activities? I wonder how different these two tools are?

    • afarachnps
       
      It seems that this feature regarding definitions is a step above ThinkLink...is this right? I would love to try this tool in conjunction with ThinkLink to see where I can get the most of what I need for my students.
  • need images, graphs, videos and charts to learn
    • cbbbcb
       
      Some of my students also need to see the words written for them to process what is taught.
  • using handheld “clickers.”
    • cbbbcb
       
      but only for MC and T/F questions, right? not for open-ended questions.
  • Mini Whiteboards:
    • cbbbcb
       
      Is there a digital mini-whiteboard?
  • Media makes content more visual.
    • tclem01
       
      develop ways for students to produce more visual feedback too
  • good old whiteboards!
    • tclem01
       
      Whiteboards, hmmm?

    I like the way this list gives tools that are both digital and physical. Thanks for sharing! Also, I'm interested to try out FluentU.

    Wonderful resource for so many activities! Thank you!

    Thanks for sharing this. Lots of good information and inspiration here.

    Thanks for sharing! I love her comment "The digital native is a myth." This is exactly what my colleagues and I have been noticing as our school went 1:1. Students understand how to use tech for social media and gaming but not as a tool for school.
  •  
    Looks like the perfect video to watch as a prelude to doing the hard work of shifting a course to online format. The essential reminder for me: "Pick a few tools and use them over and over again." Better for students, better for us....
