  • Instead of you being their main source of language input… put your authentic resources to work. I started playing with Google Classroom and here’s a snapshot of what you could do to PLAN and ORGANIZE learning.

      This is an example of using authentic videos for an interpretive assignment. We study house-related vocabulary in ch.6B of "Autentico 1" (the textbook we use with our Spanish 2 students). An activity like this would work in that unit.

    Megan Smith wrote about ways to adapt a lesson about houses for a traditional class to one for an online class. She included interpretive, interpersonal and presentational activities.

    I love the way she set-up these examples. Has anyone done something similar? What was your experience with the 20% Free Time? I'm considering something similar in the "fall"... which is coming up quickly. No matter the schedule, I've always liked the idea, 20% Free/Genius Hour. If you have experience with this, I would love to hear about how you set them up.. and assessed them.

      Check this out--appears to be a comprehensive site about the use of technology for educators and students.
  • Different platforms suit different sorts of interactions and appeal tostudents and educators in a diverse manner
  • From the Edmodo platform, two main features are utilized. First, the Edmodo forum is used for both teacher-to-student communication and student-to -student communication. The communication topics include subjects such as assignments, questions, announcements, etc. Second, the Edmodo Assignment Center is used for testing the students on each learning topic and easily collecting their answers

      Although we have an in-house LMS at Northwest, I created an Edmodo platform for my Intermediate Russian I course for the fall to see how it will work. I'll use it in conjunction with the in-house LMS, which may prove to be cumbersome. We'll see.

    I vividly recall sitting in my son's Spanish classroom during an Open House back in 2011, listening to the teacher explain how they reviewed vocabulary and grammar during class. She reminded us of the importance of finding opportunities for students to listen to, and even better, speak the language outside of class.

    Interesting comment promoting the discussed topic applied to Spanish.

connected twitter social media technology

shared by Amy Uribe on 08 Aug 13 - No Cached
  • a connected educator is one who uses technology and social media to personalize learning for both personal and professional growth.
  • The big picture in being a connected educator is the idea that you as the educator are first connected to the general flow of information, and then secondly, focused on specific connections to drill down to the detailed needs specific to you, or your students’ needs.

Holding Synchronous Online Office Hours - Center for Teaching and Learning | Learning H... - 1 views

shared by nleisenheimer on 26 Jul 19 - No Cached
  • Research indicates that instructor presence in an online course directly impacts students’ learning outcomes. Hosting synchronous online office hours is one way you can build presence in your course because it gives your students a chance to ask questions and get clarification on course material. Luckily, holding office hours is easy in an online course. You just need to be logged in to your learning management system (LMS) and available to students during specified hours.
  • nleisenheimer on 26 Jul 19
     
    What a simple way to provide for your students. Perhaps those of you teaching at the post secondary level already do this, but at the high school level we do not have office hours because it can't be built into our schedules. However, perhaps a bit of time each day may encourage a strong feedback loop.

  •  I think it is important to give students specific tasks while they are working on a listening activity.  
  •  I know that my kids love watching movies, and this is a topic that they can relate to.

  • vivianfranco on 30 Jul 17
     
    I agree with the idea about assigning specific tasks for listening activities. There is nothing more confusing than not knowing what to do when listening to an audio in another language. What do you think would be best, to watch the entire movie in the classroom, watch some parts of it or watch all of it each o the students in their houses?
  • pludek on 30 Jul 17
     
    I have struggled pedagogically about showing moves in class. I think that I need to thoughtfully incorporate them because the students enjoy them. I wonder if showing the whole movie, but in parts, depending on the movie, might be the way to go - I always feel that there is so much pressure to get through 'X' amount of curriculum. This has given me food for thought about how I could use them.

      I would say compared to Flipgrid the biggest thing is it has a more formal interface, perhaps more appropriate for assessment. I'm not sure if that is worth paying a license though.

      I'm beginning to see the virtue of lower-stakes oral assessments, but wonder if a tool such as VoiceThread can be configured to perform the same functions as Extempore. (I'd rather go with what we've got at my institution than make the case for purchasing a new site license....)
