Would a Course Syllabus Be Better as an Infographic? - 2 views
-
At the college where I teach, professors have the unique opportunity every May to develop a course outside of their typical curriculum. Teachers get to explore their interests in new courses as diverse as "The Chemistry of Cooking" and "Writing a Film Short."
-
I just found this article about redesigning the syllabus. Since my students hardly every really read the syllabus, I have to come up with something new. http://chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/creative-approaches-to-the-syllabus/35621

Thanks for the link from the Chronicle!

What's the best way to teach languages? | Teacher Network | The Guardian - 7 views

my approach is much more topic based with as little grammar as possible

Although this article is about British language education and it's two years old, my interest was piqued when I read it: ""Languages cannot be taught, they can only be learnt. The best way is to tell students right away that they are responsible for their own learning process, and the teacher is just a guide who has to motivate them."" Made me think about relevancy and how Tech is only one part of that.

Really interesting. I wonder if we changed the setting to the U.S. if the same difficulties would apply. I never really thought about grammar being discarded simply because students don't know it well enough. While I've found that most students we teach don't understand their mother tongue, I still think that the shift to task-based work had as much to do with the lack of real communication skills. Just teaching them grammar and relying on them to go abroad to learn to speak wasn't doing it. That being said, I think the mixture of methods is best, and by mixture I mean the integration of many methods into accomplishing a task. And I agree that the meta-learning is key.

I remember getting a comment from a student once, many years ago, that she had learned more about English grammar in my Spanish class than anywhere else... (sigh)

Still not sure about the relationship of all of these social networking tools to FERPA. Can you require students to post work on a site not run by the school ... and if so, what happens if there is a security compromise? These are all tools that I would use personally, but am uncomfortable advocating their use to a wider audience without explicit permission ... which is an incredibly time consuming process.

You may communicate or read materials posted by speakers of the language that you are learning, but you will also be encouraged to help others who are looking to speak your native language.
Matthew TK Taylor: How Google+ Can Beat Twitter - 1 views

its primary feature, "circles," allows you to nest your contacts into different groups with Google suggesting "friends," "family," "acquaintances" and a twitter-style "following."

This article addresses the issue of 'noise' on Twitter, which has come up often in the discussion boards about his weeks experiences. I thought you all might find it interesting!
-
I've read enough this about Google+ and its positive aspects to make me want to be able to use it. Just waiting for their email... @Alyssa - thanks, since I wrote this, I got in. Now I just need time to explore.

Jan- send me your email and I can "invite" you.

I am trying to think how this would work in a Spanish classroom. I wish I had instant access to technology like this teacher appears to have!
-
I agree! I wish I did too!
-
I think my school has one or two class sets of iTouches... Otherwise, it would be more likely that in a University class more students would have thier own iWhatevers to use...

We don't "parse" verbs in Spanish... I don't really know what that is... conjugate? We also don't do much translating... I wonder how a person could use this idea in a more communicative way?
-
We don't even conjuage in Chinese!
-
old school - person, number, tense, voice, mood
-
Now I read it - I should have known it was a Latin teacher talking about parsing...
-
It could be like a waterfall of tweets... hablar hablo hablas habla hablamos hablais hablan. Teacher calls out the verb and tense and each student (or student group) tweets in the collection of conjugations (parses??).
-
It's like tweeting parts of that book 501 Spanish verbs.
