Near future, NearEducation | Nearpod - 4 views

  •  NearEducation, a platform that brings students, teachers and content together, taking advantage of the best of technology has the best. Take a look and see how the future is near.
  • It’s refreshing to know how the students perceive the technology in their lives.

      Interesting to read to motivate ourselves to teach using Web tools.

      I find the video on nearpod eye opening. The coming generations to our classrooms when we don't allow the use of phones for mere texting. It is a completely different idea when mobile technology can be used for students to share class related information.

      I really appreciate this sentiment - that we should be open to the changing ways in which we communicate. Mobile devices, for example, should be considered a resource and not a hindrance in the classroom.

    This is a warehouse of searchable digital tools for the language classroom. Some of the tools were mentioned in our course, others were not such Mentimeter, Peardeck, NearPod , Google Voice and many many more. I really like the organization of this site with tabs to serve most needs.

      Plickers might be interesting for quick multiple choice responses.
  • giving them opportunities to contribute to a class blog or something where their classmates will get to see their hearts and minds in this other forum. I think that really opens things up.
  • If the kid is perfectly happy the way they are, they need to get the message that the way they are is cool.

  • Our most important institutions, like schools and workplaces, are designed for extroverts,
  • why is it that kids who prefer to go off by themselves or to work alone are seen as outliers?
  • How about the very definition of “class participation?”
  • how best to cultivate the talent of those students.
  • a student who has one or two or three friends, and prefers to go deep with their friendships instead of being one of a big gang, there’s nothing wrong with that at all, in terms of it being a predictor for adulthood.
  • But Cain particularly feels for one group of introverts: the quiet kids in a classroom.
  • make sure to build quiet time into the school day, especially when kids are younger. Have 15 minutes set aside every day where the students just read.
  • Apps that allow students to contribute to class discussions, sometimes anonymously and sometimes not.
  • less group work in general.
  • do more work in pairs, which is a way that both introverts and extroverts can thrive.
  • challenge teachers to rethink what they mean by class participation and start thinking of it as classroom engagement instead.
  • account the research of Anders Ericsson, who invented the concept of “deliberate practice.”
  • tools that allow students to participate through their electronic devices as opposed to raising their hand.
  • maximize choice.

      I agree this statement of "Number one would be to make sure to build quiet time into the school day, especially when kids are younger. Have 15 minutes set aside every day where the students just read." Question: As a classroom teacher, I am with my students 42 minutes per day, how can I take almost half of this time for reading? Shouldn't this issue be addressed as a whole school wide??

      I agree with you Diane - that would be way too much time for reading in just your class. In some classes, I do a 5 - 10 minute "free-writing" exercise that is individual. It seems like you'd need to scale the time so that it's appropriate for your class. 
  • A lot of students who might be reticent at first will feel emboldened by having first discussed it with a partner.

      Think-Pair-Share
  • Small-scale socializing. Socializing in pairs and small groups.

      My groups are mostly formed in 3 to 4 students, so it is easier to form a think-pair-share and compare best answer for their group.

    Wow, just imagine how much calmer the world could be if classrooms were set up to allow for multiple temperaments as well as learning styles?! Also, the think-pair-share concept is fantastic; I've been using the "alone-paired-large group" sequence for language learners in groups since I got my CELTA certification and it's been hugely successful. Nobody wants to be wrong in public, and when learners have a chance to discuss it with a partner first, they are more likely to share their ideas.

Build a Collaborative Classroom with Microsoft Teams | Cult of Pedagogy - 10 views

    • jmgabbard
       
      I'm still learning about all of the features of MS Teams, but this one surprised me. I can imagine it being a good tool for synchronous and asynchronous language learning - not just video conferencing.
  • App Integrations I love this feature: When you need to take things up a notch, you can use some of the most popular apps in education right inside the Teams environment, including Kahoot!, Nearpod, Quizlet, and Flipgrid. If a particular app will be used frequently by a group, you can add a designated tab to a channel just for that app, so users can get to it quickly.

    I agree that app integrations is the best feature. We are using Canvas for our classes at my institution but we are also using Teams for university wide communication. Both are new but the experience so far has been positive. I may follow up on the advise to start a small project on Teams to learn more about its best features in building a collaborative classroom. Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks for posting this, Jordan, and reminding me that here at UofL we've got MS Teams as an additional resource! I've just check to see if there's the possibility of integration with Blackboard and it appears there is. (I'm glad to have the option for synchronous class meetings, since I've always found Blackboard Collaborate to be a little baroque in its layout....)
  •  
    Thanks for the tip @greghutcheson ! It hadn't occurred to me to look for Teams/Blackboard compatibility. I'm not sure yet if I prefer Teams over Blackboard Collaborate, but if one runs more smoothly than the other, that would be my pick!
