    I liked how the teacher videotaped the skype conversation with a flipcam in order to replay it for her students. Then, they could focus on parts of the conversation in more detail.
  • Daniel Castaneda on 24 Jul 11
     
    I like the idea of the flipcam as well. I also like how she manages to have those kids skype, which is a difficult tasks to do. This is a very good example on how a whole group can skype with another located in another part of the world.

    At our school there is a phenomenal social studies teacher who uses Skype to talk to students in the Middle East. I would love to chat with students from Mexico or another Spanish speaking country, but am unsure about how to get started. Does anyone have any tips about how to find a partner school and set up interaction? I think this is essentially part of 'ePals'. Does anyone use this? Share your experiences, please, if you have!

    Facebook isn't just a great way for you to find old friends or learn about what's happening this weekend, it is also an incredible learning tool. Teachers can utilize Facebook for class projects, for enhancing communication, and for engaging students in a manner that might not be entirely possible in traditional classroom settings.

  • Record an audio welcome message and put it on your blog (or wiki or web page.) Elementary students can practice their oral reading skills. You could even post them on your blog for parents and grandparents to hear. Each day have one student record “what we did in school today” and post it on your blog. Students in a foreign language class could record words or phrases and then email them to their teacher. Left your students with a substitute? Record a message to encourage your students to be on their best behavior!

      I used Vocaroo this week-- a simple app and easy to use that can fulfill a variety of needs for the classroom. I thought I could share some here with you...I am drawn to the second point about practicing and recording reading out loud. This past year with my elementary students, I found a great need to improve their understanding of sounds in Spanish, as well as building their confidence as "speakers" of the language. This gives me an opportunity to work on this issue further this upcoming year.

    The blog consists of three parts: Blog, Teaching Toolbox, and Workshops. We can read about issues, tips, comments that are pertinent to language instruction. Teachertoolbox provides new resources and activity ideas. We can find where and what kind of PDs are available in Workshops. The world language consultants, Kara Parker and Megan Smith are the authors of this bog. They understand the challenges language teachers are facing and believe it is very important to provide and share resources and support each other to stay being an effective language teacher.

  • Communicate the public nature of Twitter to parents. Consider an opt-out alternative for students or parents who are uncomfortable with participating in the classroom chat.

      I've also used my school's platform "discussion board" as if it were a twitter chat feed--some students got really into it, and I think I could implement some of these suggestions to make it more universally engaging
  • assist students in moving back and forth between their own words and technical or course-specific terms. And help highlight particular content with the use of sentence starters.
    • cwelton
      cwelton on 26 Jul 18
       
      perhaps for a language class this would look like a vocab list, or a list of social media abbreviations that are language-specific.
  • Do you feel the chat’s objective was reached? What was the most useful part of the chat? How might we improve the chat?
    • cwelton
      cwelton on 26 Jul 18
       
      i've do this, at some level, for almost every new project or activity I do in my classroom--the students feel so empowered when I ask them to share their opinions and reactions to the structures of the course.
  • vaguevara on 26 Jul 18
     
    Thanks for sharing, Carmen-- I am also considering students who do not have Twitter, or parent concerns, and I wonder if small group work might be a solution- Using the twitter account of one student, another student or group of students help to compose responses, stay hidden from their online contributions.

    Hi Veronica--you could also consider making a class handle. I did that with an Adv. class once, and simply gave all the students the info to log in. They could all post from that handle, and sign tweets with their initials.

    This is a helpful article. I like how it gives us step-by-step of how to host a twitter chat.

    Especially middle/high school parents/students may feel more comfortable using a platform provided by the district. I am also planning to use the discussion board in the district's platform. I can definitely use the tips in this article.

      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

      nataliemcruz on 16 Jul 19
       
      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.
    • nataliemcruz
      nataliemcruz on 16 Jul 19
       
      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
    • nataliemcruz
      nataliemcruz on 16 Jul 19
       
      Yes - textbook as reference book

  • Micro-blogging via Twitter is another way to link students outside of class. Let's be honest -- there are not many young people out there who do not already tweet. You can use Twitter in class in a similar fashion to blogging. If you do, I strongly suggest that you use TweetDeck to efficiently manage your students' tweets. I also love having students tweet a story. You start by tweeting the first line of the story based on the unit you are studying.

    This article from Edutopia provides ten simple suggestions for using various SM tools. The author's description of twitter won my heart: micro-blogging. Just that idea alone makes twitter seem much more manageable and useful.
