  • Zoom performs incredibly well in low bandwidth environments.

      This is important for schools that don't have good internet connection.
  • A great selection of annotation tools, so you can share your screen, and then write and draw on the screen like a real whiteboard.
  • Easy process to record classes.

    These language instructors prefer Zoom over Skype and other video conferencing tools.

  • You can create three different sets of QR codes to distribute to students or use a QR code generator like Visualead to create codes that have similar colors or background images.

    Create different color QR codes in order to separate the groups by task. Differentiated instruction but more discreet with the use of QR codes.

      This link leads to a PPT that has some good ideas of how to use Voicethread in the classroom.

      I agree that it can extend the classroom. Class time never seems to be enough so I am glad that I now have this tool to use with my students.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Ferriter says more students participate more actively in digital discussions than in the classroom.

      This to me is very important. There are always a couple students who will never want to participate in class, at least not orally. This will be such a relief to this type of student and I will be happy to count this as a way of participating in the course.
  • "If you don't have a microphone on your computer, you can use a telephone to comment. If you're in the classroom and don't have either, you can use text if you need to, or webcam commenting.

      I like that students have the option of texting their response. Since I tech at a boarding school, those students that are in supervised study hall, may text their response so they won't interrupt others' studying. As long as I inform the proctors and the students don't stay on their devices for too long ;)

      This feature is great for those students who are creative and/or love to doodle.
  • I am collecting examples of how educators are using Voicethread in their classroom or for professional development on a wiki at: http://voicethread4education.wikispaces.com/

  • But true authenticity comes from the activities we use during class time, leaving an impact on the communicative skills of our students.
  • Use the language proficiency site developed by UTexas to gain access to native Spanish speakers talking about a variety of themes. These are conveniently divided into proficiency levels.

    Authentic activities for the 3 modes of communication: interpretive, interpersonal, presentational. Great technology tools mentioned.
