    At this point I have so many accounts on so many sites that I feel like I need to do some spring cleaning. Even added Google+ a few weeks back to see what all the buzz was about.

College 2.0: Academics and Colleges Split Their Personalities for Social Media - Techno... - 1 views

  • Many professors and higher-education leaders are struggling to strike a balance between their personal and professional lives when using online social media, a realm that encourages widespread sharing of thoughts and opinions. Often that means creating multiple accounts, one for each of the hats they wear. Some professors use Facebook with friends and family, reserving Twitter for professional observations, or vice versa.
  • There may be a benefit to that kind of sharing. Ms. Johnson recently conducted a survey of 120 students at the college about what they thought of a series of Twitter feeds run by professors. The majority of students found the professors who mixed in personal details with their down-to-business tweets more credible—rating them higher on measures of competence, trustworthiness, and caring. Her theory: Students want to end the semester with a connection to their professors, not just a head full of facts.

    Ms. Johnson's survey findings has made me think on my own personal rule of keeping school and personal separate in cyberspace. Question still remains is: at what age is it appropriate for teachers to mix school and personal...middle school, high school, college?

The Right Way to Show Movies in Class | Creating Lifelong Learners - 6 views

  •  Ask students to evaluate the movie.
    • msdianehahn
       
      I think this is an important metacognitive moment that gets students to think about themselves as learners. It also goes along with teaching media literacy.
  •  Show curricular movies at the beginning of units and not at the end.  This gives students background information that they need to understand a unit before teaching that unit.

      Interestingly, I haven't shown really any movies in my class. I think I could definitely start to use them effectively by incorporating them into a preview activity as we begin a unit.  This provides context for all the vocabulary words my ESL students are going to be learning.

Education World: Social Media in the Classroom? - 5 views

  • “Schools are scared about this stuff,” said Elliot Soloway, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor at the University of Michigan. “Whatever they do, [schools fear that] parents will be upset, money will be inappropriately spent, they will draw the ire of the public. They're scared of all of this, so there is an extra layer of conservatism to protect the kids. But we can’t let it paralyze us from taking steps into the new.”

      I definitely think my collaboration with teachers as an ESL teacher will be key to getting more technology involved in the classroom.

    Yes, I agree, we can't just immediately dismiss social media in the classroom because of safety issues. We have to learn ways to work with them.

Music Unit - Creative Language Class - 2 views

  • So many opinions were out there on social media. I decided to focus this unit even more on this popular music event.

      There are always good themes but we need to figure out how to make them focused, comprehensible and doable. That is the key.
  • Lots of comprehensible input there! They learned about new genres. Some said they added music that we learned about in class to their playlists. Love that!

      Comprehensible and compelling input. Plus, added Spanish music to their audio files. The best language learners are the ones who listen to music and watch videos.

  • The main culture goals:

      Seeing how she described the cultural aspects of the unit really brought into focus what she was trying to accomplish. From here she will be able to set up tasks and activities that meet these goals.
  • Now the major communication goals:
    • rfrisch125
       
      I like how these three areas help define what the students will be able to do.
  • For example, for the last presentational goal where they tell what happened, they only used a few verbs (won, nominated, said) as memorized chunks. Intermediate students were able to give more details and it sounded like a true narration of events with transitions.
    • rfrisch125
       
      I love this! each level can accomplish the goal by sheltering or minimizing the vocab.
  • And the remaining 3 C’s:

      Wow this lady really knows what she is doing!! I haven't seen a rubric like this before. I like it.
