    I liked how the teacher videotaped the skype conversation with a flipcam in order to replay it for her students. Then, they could focus on parts of the conversation in more detail.
  • Daniel Castaneda on 24 Jul 11
     
    I like the idea of the flipcam as well. I also like how she manages to have those kids skype, which is a difficult tasks to do. This is a very good example on how a whole group can skype with another located in another part of the world.

    At our school there is a phenomenal social studies teacher who uses Skype to talk to students in the Middle East. I would love to chat with students from Mexico or another Spanish speaking country, but am unsure about how to get started. Does anyone have any tips about how to find a partner school and set up interaction? I think this is essentially part of 'ePals'. Does anyone use this? Share your experiences, please, if you have!

  • kjjsk8 on 21 Jul 14
     
    I like the concept of organizing photos like this. I went into the Spanish(Mexico) sections and some are good pictures and others are not, but it is worth going through them if you are in a pinch to find an authentic picture. I think I might have to start organizing my pictures this way for my classroom. Just this last trip I took about 40 in the market (at least 8 photos of different types of avocados) and this would make it easier to use/find them for class.

    Love this site, too! Pix address many questions kids have about things in the target countries that we don't necessarily get to see first hand. But, caution, too. Times they are rapidly changing and some of the pix are outdated. But, as you say, in a pinch they are nice to know about.

      I was expecting something totally different when I clicked on this article. Teaching at a community college, I thought it might be about online behavior on a discussion board assignment or something online and collaborative. Even though it was about something else, I found this tool to be fascinating and thought if I taught in the K-12 system, this would be a great tool.

  • ClassCharts uses html 5 so should run in any modern browser whether it’s a laptop, iPad or Android tablet, so the teacher can use an tablet during the class to instantly update behaviours.
  • This is quite a complex tool and creates a lot of data, so I think it’s going to take a bit of getting used to for teachers and perhaps a bit of training too.

  • Using eduCanon, like other services similar to it, could be a good way to build introductory and review lessons for students. The option to track your students' progress is nice for anticipating the questions your students might bring to class and for seeing what you might need to review in-person with your students.

  • Research has shown that CMC: can help increase students' motivation to learn the foreign language, lower their anxiety, increase their fluency in the target language, lead to improved intercultural competence and democratize classroom communication.
    • vivianfranco
      vivianfranco on 12 Aug 17
       
      I agree with this author's idea. In my teaching experience using CMC to teach language, I can notice my students' progress i the target language. They express their motivation and even introvert students are more open to share their ideas.
  • Keep in mind that students who study languages with different orthographies may encounter specific difficulties during CMC sessions. Be prepared with creative solutions, such as suggesting computers and keyboards that accommodate the characters your students need.

    This is a really good suggestion Vivian! It is always nice to have plan B especially when using technology!
