    This lab is using streaming internet rather than a dish for language programs.

Audioboo.fm - The iTouch Language Lab - 2 views

  • Decide on a common naming convention for your students to follow when saving their 'Boo'.

      This is important so you can find them again!

    This is for the iTouch - but it also works on Android devices pretty much the same way

    I like that audioboo is an app. I am pretty much connected to my iphone (it's an extension of my arm) and audioboo seemed to be the only one that was mentioned that had an iphone app.

Comics Lab Extreme - 1 views

  •  
    I've been looking for another comic-maker that will let you upload your own photos - this one does! It also has a pretty large gallery of characters, backgrounds, etc. You have a choice to make a comic book, comic strip/e-card, presentation, manga, or a graphic novel. This is a great site for elementary kids for a lot of different areas, but the comic creator is for grades 3-12.

Extempore: Digital Language Lab and Speaking Practice App - The EdTech Roundup - 1 views

    • janayalf
       
      I like this review of Extempore a lot because it lays out all that the tool can do in a clear way. It also gives it a rating and discusses ways in which it can be used.
  •  
    Agreed! An excellent overview, including videos! What I'd love to see, though, is what an Extempore session looks like in real time. Any suggestions?...

    Has anyone ever heard of this?

    Oh, yes! I have met them and they have presented at IALLT and CALICO conferences. It seems like a really great product, but I have never actually used it.
  •  
    Yes - they present at either CALICO or IALLT (or both) - seems like a good product, altho other than playing with it a bit, I haven't actually used it...

    How do you think this is similar or different from the CLEAR tools? You can have students accounts?! I am posting under my husband's Diigo account apparently... this is Alyssa Rutherford. :)

Free Technology for Teachers: 5 Ways Students Can Create Audio Slideshows - 1 views

    • Isis Shawver
       
      There are some great resources in this article that I plan to explore!
    • MariaEmicle Lopez
       
      I will share these resources with my students for them to explore for their final presentation on work with Community.
  • Somewhere between a PowerPoint presentation and a full-fledged video is the audio slideshow.
  • To create an audio slideshow on Narrable start by uploading some pictures that you either want to talk about or have music played behind. After the pictures are uploaded you can record a narration for each picture through your computer's microphone or by calling into your Narrable's access phone number.

  • UtellStory is a service for creating and sharing audio slideshows. To create and share your story through UtellStory you can upload pictures, add text captions, add audio narration to each slide, and upload a soundtrack to support your entire story.
  • Present.me is a handy service for recording video and or audio to accompany your slides.
  • Hello Slide is a tool that you can use to add voice narration to slides that you display online.Hello Slide is different from services like Slideshare's Zipcast (which requires a paid subscription) because instead of recording your voice you type what you want the narrator to say.
  • a good tool for students to use to bridge the gap between slideshows and videos. Animoto makes it possible to quickly create a video using still images, music, and text. In the last year Animoto has added the option to include video clips in your videos too.
  • Animoto's free service limits you to 30 second videos.
  •  
    I do audio slideshows as an end-of-semester project in my level 2 class, but I have only ever used PhotoStory. PhotoStory is loaded on our language lab computers so that students do not have to register or create any types of accounts. These resources seem to be just as easy, however

Why Ed Tech Is Not Transforming How Teachers Teach - Education Week - 5 views

  •  
    Discussion on how technology is being used and why we're still struggling to give more control of learning to students. A good read!

    Such an important article. I'd seen it - but not read the whole thing. It's so tru: changing everything, even when you're committed, takes a ton of work!

    "A 2014 paper by researchers at Michigan State University, in East Lansing, provides a tangible example: Teachers and students in the small-scale study were found to be making extensive use of the online word-processing tool Google Docs. The application's power to support collaborative writing and in-depth feedback, however, was not being realized. Teachers were not encouraging group-writing assignments and their feedback focused overwhelmingly on issues such as spelling and grammar, rather than content and organization." This really gets to the heart of the idea of combining education and technology: the technology has to serve the goal and it doesn't sound like the teachers' goals were the same as the stated goals of the assignment. So obviously Google Docs is a fantastic tool, but it has to be utilized appropriately for it to be effective.

    I must say I have sat through many workshops in my tenure at my university that included the modification of some practices and even included, to my frustration, the basic structure of a lesson from stating outcomes to assessment. The problem with our particular situation is that usually it is directed to a "one-size-fits-all" use of a given technology that may not apply to many disciplines. I have found them somewhat useful for upper-level courses at times, but the language classes often pose the need for a kind of collaboration and interpersonal technology that isn't presented. Hence my desire to take this course. Another difficulty is the overwhelming number of technological applications presented--I can't tell you how many--and the students really become overwhelmed, since they often have to learn new technologies in almost many courses. Some work and some don't, and since they are the guinea pigs and there are no guarantees that everything will work as planned, and given the astounding changes in tech, the newness never seems to end, neither for the student nor the teacher. So focusing on just 1 or 2 to begin with seems like the only way to deal with it. Finally, I think that, at least in our university, the huge courses found often in the sciences reflect the slowness to adopt meaningful change. Many in these disciplines have simply used the tech to deliver more lectures on topics students must memorize, perhaps adding clickers for comprehension checks. There seems to be a great disconnect between what happens in the classroom and the amazing advances in tech they have made for their hands-on work--labs, collaborative work, etc.
