  • they use their comfort and skills with social media to connect students with the content area on a deeper level.

      This is a great goal. Students will watch ridiculous Vines for hours, so how can we replace that with something that stimulates their intellect?
  • help students keep tabs on their upcoming assignments and assessments

      This seems like a lot of work, especially because my students have plan sheets - but I think I could do this for the big things :)
  • I use Twitter as a way to provide practice during the days leading to macro-assessments, by providing sample test items, as well as study tips.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • I provide the correct answer (present indicative or infinitive) in the form of a comment on the same tweet. This gives students who follow the Twitter feed and receive notifications an opportunity to quiz themselves in real time.
  • Students who do not have a Twitter account can go to my school website and follow along with the embedded stream.

      I didn't know you could do that, glad there is a way to bypass individual accounts

      I didn't know you could do that either. I wonder if students without accounts would still be disadvantaged, though, since they wouldn't receive notifications in real time...
  • In both cases, students understand that I am paying attention and rewarding their efforts and attention to detail, and feel that their hard work is being recognized.
  • There is great power in positive reinforcement
  • I ask permission first
  • For the students who provided the work, this is a great motivator to keep the high-quality work flowing, while for the other students, it serves as an example of good work.

      I'd be careful with praise meaning, give it - but make sure all students get praised . . . even less stellar students for their small achievements
  • my view of the textbook is that it should be a resource for learning, not as a primary source

      Yes - textbook as reference book

  • One “choice” assignment I regularly offer students is letting them engage in a texting conversation in Spanish and send me the screenshots. This assignment seems more like fun than like work. Plus, students are able to use the language in an authentic, realistic way.

      This looks like an easy way to have learners interact outside of class.
  • Connect students with another class and set up a virtual pen pal program. (Bonus points if you can arrange this with a class in a country in which the target language is spoken.)

      I love this idea, but I'm wondering if it's feasible during the pandemic.
  • If you aim to use authentic resources in your classes and expose your students to infographics, advertisements, or news articles in the target language, Actively Learn epitomizes convenience and efficiency. This website allows teachers to embed standards-based questions within an online text. As they read, students can respond in the target language about the main idea and purpose of the text, as well as the author’s tone and opinion. Actively Learn also provides useful data for teachers, including the amount of time students spent reading. Rather than opening a series of tabs leading to different documents, students are able to read and respond all in one place.

      Actively Learn sounds like a wonderful source of authentic infographics, ads or new articles

    Nice resources. I have not heard of Actively Learning. But I have used screenomatic and Edpuzzle together. It worked well.

    Lots of good ideas. I would like to look into Actively Learning. Sounds like a great resource. Pear Deck is another one I would like to try. I agree that the virtual pen pals sounds like fun, as does having students text in Spanish and send you screenshots. They already have tons of personal experience with that already.

  • When designing your course, ask yourself: What do I want students to get out of the class? Are videos essential or even helpful to the learning objectives of your course? Can I do it some other way?

    Gives voice to concerns I've had as I contemplate using Zoom in my classes.

    Thanks for sharing this, Greg! I've noticed that trying to share 20+ video feeds doesn't seem to lead to anything productive, and has a tendency to cause connectivity issues on my end. For my upcoming virtual class meetings, I I'll ask students to check in on video/audio when they join, and then mute themselves for the first bit of class. I'll then shift them into small breakout groups as soon as practical, where they can complete activities with cameras and mics on.

    I definitely understand zoom fatigue from experience. This gives me some thoughts to contemplate to approach this differently. I am considering an exit question each student must answer...

  • As is common on many social media platforms, videos can be ‘liked’ or ‘hearted’ to show agreement or approval.
  • This can lead to competitiveness, with the confidence of some students potentially dented if a video receives fewer views or likes than others. (This feature can be deactivated if the tutor so desires.)
