  • Encourage students to have silent conversations using Google Docs. Choose a theme and have each student select a color for their responses. Make sure they share the document with you too, so that you can monitor and comment.

      I love this idea of using google docs for interpretive activities
  • In order to help students better master the units we teach, remember these rules when selecting activities:They must be authentic. They should always be engaging. Activities should be varied. They need to be focused on the unit theme. Perhaps most importantly, they should force students to use the target language.

      This reminds me of the assessment class I took at CARLA where I learned about the importance of using authentic materials to help boost student engagement and language learning.
  • f we make activities genuine, our students will be much more inclined to participate, acquiring new knowledge in the process.

      I just heard about FluentU. How is Yabla different from FluentU?

      I think authenticity refers to authentic materials and authentic tasks. What are real things native speakers would do?
  • sarahbeeman on 17 Jul 17
     
    This looks like a good resource for new classroom activities for any language.

    I am very interested in creating comics, I will use this in class: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/strip-designer/id314780738?mt=8 Thank you a lot for the great ideas. May George, Group C.

    This site has some awesome ideas! I can't wait to start planning for the upcoming school year!
  • vivianfranco on 22 Jul 17
     
    Amazing blog! I really like the explanation they provide for authenticity since it is not just decoration of the classroom with the cultural aspects of the target language. I will be using some of the activities they suggest :-)

    This great. I am not comfortable with the modes. This blog will help me to associate the modes with activities which will be more meaningful for me.
  • heidikreutzer on 23 Jul 17
     
    Always good to have a list like this on hand! I also like the breakdown by modes.
  • dfranco1 on 24 Jul 17
     
    Thanks for sharing. I bookmarked it.
  • Anne Dixon on 24 Jul 17
     
    Looks like a great list!
  • Shereen Elgamal on 25 Jul 17
     
    This is such a valuable resource. While it felt validating to see some of the activities that I already use on these lists, they also gave me new ideas to try for next semester. I am sure students will appreciate the variety.
  • vaguevara on 10 Aug 18
     
    I have used both Veinte Mundos and Paperboy--Wondering if I can use EdPuzzle/ Playposit, or Diigo with these-- I think that will help with greater student engagement and my ability to track what they are 'doing' with these resources-- It is not enough to assign them to watch/ read, I need to provide the activity to accompany it.

    this one is a keeper.
  • atsukofrederick on 11 Aug 18
     
    If a tech device is not available for all students in class, you can do silent talk using a pen and paper. I used to call this activity "Pencil Talk"
  • barichetti on 12 Aug 18
     
    This seems like an excellent article/suggestion. I really enjoy using Google Docs and am excited to look into that.
  • nleisenheimer on 13 Jul 19
     
    I, too, was planning to bookmark this piece. I appreciated that it was organized by the different modes.
  • leahmyott on 16 Jul 20
     
    Focusing on authenticity makes students more inclined to participate. In addition, activities should be engaging, varied, focused on the unit theme and force students to use the target language. This article has suggestions for engaging activities for the interpretive, interpersonal and presentational mode. Many of these activities use technology, and the author provides links to the apps. A very useful and quick read.
  • papolochan56 on 16 Jul 20
     
    I really like the idea of doing an email activity with my students! Thank you for posting this article! Great ideas!
  • cbbbcb on 18 Jul 20
     
    Now I have another question: what role does a textbook play in our instruction? Do we need to get rid of materials written for language learners?

      One of the hardest things for me to get past! It helps to hear the affirmation that a few stumbles will make the final product more genuine....

    These are good tips to keep in mind as I plan my online classes for fall.

    I really appreciated reading this as I just tried recording my first screencastify minilecture yesterday and found it really challenging! One tip that I got from this that I will try is to put the recording in EdPuzzle so that I can put in some comprehension checks!
  • pamh6832 on 17 Jul 20
     
    I found this to be a very informative and helpful article with lots of practical suggestions and useful links. I wish I had read this before I tried to make videos with Screencast-o-Matic for my classes this past Spring. I could have used his suggestions! I will definitely be referring to it when I begin to make videos for my classes this fall. I too liked how he put his video into EdPuzzle to increase student interactivity. Thanks for sharing it!

    Hey this is really useful. I have a feeling that I'm going to be using screencasts often as I convert all my teaching to online in the fall. It will be most useful for grammar explanation types of lessons. It looks like it is just what is needed to fill that need for personal explanations that the students want. I prefer interactive worksheets but I get the feeling students don't like them as much as I do.
  • jbenz2 on 19 Jul 20
     
    Thank you for sharing! This will come in handy as I'm prepping for hybrid teaching this fall.

    I used Screencast-o-matic for sharing my presentation while creating a video and it was a great program. Kaltura is also a great way to create presentations.

  • As a teacher or school staff member, there are things you can do in the battle against online bullying. Support: Provide the person being bullied with support and reassurance. Tell them that they did the right thing by telling. Encourage the child to get help from parents, the school counsellor, principal or teachers. Ensure they know that there is support there for them Evidence: Help the child keep relevant evidence for investigations. This can be done by taking screenshots or printing web pages. Do not allow the deletion of phone messages Inform: Give the child advice for making sure it does not happen again. This can include changing passwords, contact details, blocking profiles on social networking sites or reporting abuse online No Retaliation: Ensure that the young person does not retaliate or reply to the messages Privacy: Encourage the child to keep personal information private on the internet Investigation: The cyberbullying claim needs to be investigated fully. If the perpetrator is known, ask them to remove offending remarks or posts. All records should be kept as part of the investigation. Report: Abuse on social networking sites or through text messaging needs to be reported to the websites and mobile phone service providers Guidelines: Your school will have a number of policy documents which you can refer to. These include the Acceptable Use Policy, Anti-bullying policies and Behaviour and Disciplinary Policies
