Summer PD: New Teacher Boot Camp Week 4 - Using Wetoku | Edutopia - 0 views

  •  
    Wetoku is a web service or Web 2.0 tool out of Korea that provides a simple platform for interviewing someone via the Internet. Collaborating globally is a must for our students and as result interviewing can be a challenge. Wetoku makes doing an interview as easy as filling out some basic information, creating an interview session and then sending the creative interview session's URL to the interviewee. Once the recording is done, the interviewer can embed the copy of the URL into a blog or website. You will need a web-cam for this tool.

  •  
    This is higher education levels, not K-12. They interviewed chief academic officers for this info. The report shows more students taking online courses, a higher percentage of courses being online, faculty acceptance of online courses, what training faculty receive, and compares student outcomes to face-to-face.

Preventing Cyberbullying - 0 views

  •  
    Formally assess the extent and scope of the problem within your school district by collecting survey and/or interview data from your students. Once you have a baseline measure of what is going on in your school, specific strategies can be implemented to educate students and staff about online safety and Internet use in creative and powerful ways.

  • The Tools That Help
    • Diane Nordin
       
      Nice list of tools that can be used with (or without) Skype.
  • Skype is one more free and infinitely useful tool that educators can add to their toolbox
  • 1. Use it to collaborate with other classrooms.
  • 3. Enable participation (and catch-up) for students outside of the classroom.
  • 2. Use it to conduct expert interviews.
  • Q&A or more of a lecture
  • doing some research and coming up with questions in advance, so they have an opportunity to interact with the expert and learn more.
  • Students will get a glimpse into different career options and learn a little more about their peers, and parents get a chance to be more involved with the class
  •  
    The expert interviews are something I need to do more of. Love the idea of a virtual Career day. Would be a good way to keep alums connected.

      FLT magazine. Amazing ideas for Foreign Language Classroom. Thank you Addrianne!!

      Adrianne, I found the site with a lot of information. I particularly enjoyed "Virtual Exchanges in the Foreign Language Classroom." It explains how to make the target language more accessible to students allowing for an understanding of perspectives and practices. Good outline of benefits of virtual exchanges.
  •  
    This is a practice-oriented publication that's a bit more casual in tone and practical in content than its scholarly counterparts, while still rigorous in the quality of information it offers. We will feature articles, interviews with notable folks in the field of language teaching and learning, reviews of software, materials, and books, and more!

    A lot of great ideas and a nice way to stay informed and to, at the same time, feel connected with a network of language educators who are addressing the same challenges and concerns.
  •  
    SpatialChat looks so fun! I'll be curious about pricing, and appropriateness and safety for high schoolers.

      I love the way UC Davis has the week split up. I'm wondering if they run into students with conflicts with the synchronous schedule? How much coordination does it take? How many hours is the instructor putting in on Thursdays and Fridays meeting with students? I love the idea, just need to see how it works in practice.

      I agree that this would be great, but logistically can be hard especially at lower-levels where so much repetition and practice is needed, particularly with grammar structures.
    • kelseypelham
       
      It is true that more students do tend to "fall through the cracks" in online classes. A short workshop that preps them for success in online classes would be ideal. If not, we should address it in the courses themselves.

    This describes a really good setup for an online language course!

    Seems pretty formulaic - so a good place to start!

Skype takes English teaching to the next level (Includes interview and first-hand account) - 4 views

  • Many teachers and organizations have tried to take the offline teaching model and simply put it online. This causes some problems. Firstly, the materials they use are not specifically designed for online teaching and they don’t use the technological capabilities of online teaching fully.
    • Maki Nakayama
       
      I learned that teachers should choose their teaching materials, either offline or online, based on the goals and process. If online materials work for their teaching, teachers should use them. If offline materials work effectively, then they should use offline materials.

  • Typically, your students will use their cell phones to take pictures and (where possible) record audio and video. Alternatively, a voice recorder or a video recorder can be shared among students. Many students have an IPod or other types of Mp3 player that can be used to record speech, which are ideal for interviews or self-recordings. By making use of the devices students already have, you minimise the need for the school to provide them.

Error correction and repair moves in synchronous learning activities | International Jo... - 2 views

  • This study explores the deployment of correction strategies and repair moves in synchronous learning activities in an online English course.
    • barichetti
       
      This article looks at the question from a more theoretical standpoint.
  • When asked to identify the benefits of the synchronous learning activities concerning the correction of errors, the participants point out that events and actions are unpredictable in the online lessons and the online interviews, which provide students with an opportunity to stretch their command of the language.
  • The results from the present study show that the preferred correction strategies are explicit corrections and recast.
