Educators question taking Rosetta Stone for credit | Inside Higher Ed - 2 views

    The debate about teaching languages online continues - with Rosetta Stone at the center of this article.  With a teacher, without a teacher, with RS or without, the key is still how it is taught and that can differ widely from class to class!
  • Kim Fynboh on 05 Feb 12
     
    I totally agree with you. I think that RS is a good tool to use in place of a textbook, but it doesn't change the fact that you need more than a textbook to learn something with great quality. Conversation is key and having someone there to converse with is what helps and increases the learning. If you don't use it, you loose it fast.

      I liked this blog.  My textbook is older than my students!, so I don't use it for very much, and I can see that I will be looking at this frequently.  Just added it to my Feedly!

    I originally signed on to this blog (and downloaded the e-book) because I was so interested in teaching with technology. But Matt is a foreign-language teacher, and I'm really intrigued by the way he organizes his curriculum around Performance-Based Learning and questioning.

      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
    • jenniferacarr
      jenniferacarr on 25 Jul 19
       
      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

    Google Forms - new version, and classroom use ideas from Matt's blog
  • msdianehahn on 21 Jul 16
     
    I've used google forms for sending surveys to staff before. I've NEVER thought about how cool it would be to use for students and collecting answers on quizzes or analyzing the answer responses they submit. I probably would use this more if I was teaching in the upper grades... Any ideas for K-2 ESL uses??

      This is a great resource for introductory-level books as students use them for a few weeks and wouldn't have any need/use for them after that.
  • He also says the rental site has all of the newest editions of the textbooks with supplemental materials

      An added advantage to buying used books from Amazon and similar sites as they can be older editions or missing CDs or DVDs.
