Please, let students turn their videos off in class - The Stanford Daily - 4 views

  • When designing your course, ask yourself: What do I want students to get out of the class? Are videos essential or even helpful to the learning objectives of your course? Can I do it some other way?
  •  
    Gives voice to concerns I've had as I contemplate using Zoom in my classes.

Extempore: A Speaking Practice App - The FLTMAG - 2 views

  • One comment I often get from students is that they wish they had more frequent, but lower stakes oral assessments. A platform like Extempore begins to make this possible
    • greghutcheson
       
      I'm beginning to see the virtue of lower-stakes oral assessments, but wonder if a tool such as VoiceThread can be configured to perform the same functions as Extempore. (I'd rather go with what we've got at my institution than make the case for purchasing a new site license....)

Learning through the Pandemic | AAUP - 1 views

  • Online distance learning is impersonal and has the potential to violate personal privacy. Even a matter as seemingly straightforward as turning on web cameras can raise difficult questions: Are cameras needed to humanize the lesson? Do they force an uninvited intimacy, revealing the realities of students’ and faculty members’ living situations?

      I'd love to hear debate on this in particular. Cameras on or off?...
  •  
    Important ruminations for instructors at urban public universities who are moving to online teaching. (Not specific to FL teaching per se, but it's well worth our bearing some of these caveats in mind....)

Aprende español callejeando por Madrid - 4 views

  • Si lees mis entradas habitualmente, ya sabes que llevo un tiempo de bastante mal humor por algunas cosas que han pasado en mi trabajo en esta época de pandemia. Pero ya empiezan las vacaciones, recuperaré fuerzas y volveré con ánimo para recorrer Madrid buscando cosas interesantes para el blog. De momento, me tomo un descanso de ordenador y me despido hasta septiembre.
