Zoom games interaction

shared by christasgould on 17 Jul 20 - No Cached
  • A fun non-tech game to play is “Who’s who?”.  In this game, students privately message the teacher some facts about themselves and then the teacher reveals the clues. Students then write down their guesses as to who the person is based on the clues.

      This could be a really fun way to build community during the first half of the semester on Zoom, if you are using it. It would be interesting to also do the Zoom poll option and give students a few options. They select the classmate that they think wrote the information.
  • Using the Flippity.net BINGO tool,

  • Taking breaks throughout a lengthy lesson are important whether it be for a reflective pause or just an opportunity to stretch.

      With "Zoom fatigue," it seems that brain breaks might be more essential than ever! Any good ideas out there for break breaks students can do remotely?

      Great idea. In another class I'm currently taking synchronously, we did some brainstorming on Padlet during our Zoom session. Will definitely be replicating it in my classes this fall.
  • aretipa on 17 Jul 20
     
    So many great ideas in this article. I hope I will get to use more this coming semester - Padlet, for instance.

    I love these ideas, and I agree that they are a great way to build community and have a little fun. I will particularly look forward to using the story progression idea, I think it would be a lot of fun with intermediate level students.
  • pamh6832 on 17 Jul 20
     
    I also love these ideas and think they are a great way to build community. From the more basic, such as "Use the whiteboard feature" and "Create breakout rooms for collaboration" (I was wondering how to do that!) to the more creative and fun like having students go on a scavenger hunt or any of the many games the author describes... there are lots of great ideas. Many could even be adapted for lower level students.

    Thanks for sharing this article with so many great ideas to create more opportunities for student interaction and community building. I will try Flippitty.net to create theme based BINGO games (numbers, colors, vegetables, fruits etc)
  • debhast on 18 Jul 20
     
    I really enjoyed this article - lots of great ideas to use in the ZOOM classes. The one was discussed in the FaceBook ASL Teachers Share - a scavenger hunt. I going to implement some of the ideas. I actualy had to copy and save this article in a file. Amazing ideas. Thanks for posting!

    It's the perfect time for these tips! I wanted to try the breakout rooms last spring but had some technical issues and couldn't do it. I love the "I spy" and "Scavenger Hunt" ideas and many others. Thanks for sharing!

    So many ways to engage students in virtual classes. Great ideas!

    I attended a webinar and the presenter emphasized taking breaks. I must remember that one as well as putting these ideas in my toolbox.

6 Top Tech Tools for World Language Classes | Edutopia - 4 views

  • 2. Incorporate listening and drawing activities with Pear Deck: Pear Deck is the perfect way to make your Google Slides interactive. Try using the Pear Deck Chrome extension for listening and drawing activities: Add a Pear Deck interactive “Drawing” slide and read a description aloud.For example, I will read the following description aloud (in Spanish) to my Spanish I classes: “The boy is tall, thin, and has black, curly hair and green eyes. The boy is feeling happy because it is warm and sunny outside. He likes to listen to music and read, but he does not like to study or play sports.”As I read off this description, students draw what they hear. Once their drawings are complete, I ask them to restate what they drew aloud. You can also ask them to write about what they drew. Students are enthused when I project all of their drawings on the board—each student’s drawing is different and has its own style, even though everyone heard the same description.
  • Host an online discussion via Padlet: Padlet allows students to view a prompt and respond on an online discussion board. If you want to engage students in a digital discussion rather than an oral one, you can have them respond with text, images, videos, or links.
  • view a music video and type out the lyrics according to what they hear

    See how to adapt popular apps to get students speaking, listening, reading, and writing in the target language. If you're not familiar with Edutopia, you should take some time to browse around their site. This is the Technology Integration section, but there is much, much more - very innovative, creative group!

    Wow, that was quick! Yes, I like this group. I will definitely read more articles on their site.

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

  •  65 percent of your students are visual learners, according to research

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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
