These are established Language Practice Hangouts for language. But, I thought this would be a great idea for an extension of speaking in class. It could be voluntary or mandatory. Would be neat, too, if kids who have moved on to upper levels moderated the Hangout from time to time.

Because eduCanon uses HTML5, rather than Flash, playback works great on an iPad, too.

  This could be an advantage for Apple devices. Flash has occasional issues with Apple products.

The first time students watch a video, they are unable to skip through the video; they have to watch the whole thing from start to finish and attempt every question.

  Love this feature. Like with reading, middle schoolers pick through material to find the answers. We can't glue them to their seats, but they never know where those questions will pop up and they can't look ahead to see what answers they need to find. Love that!

  According to another blog I was reading regarding licensing and sharing, if the "embed" function is operable the owner has endorsed (consciously or thru oversight?) sharing.

The answers people choose in a public video are not collected by eduCanon.

  Good to know to allay students' fears. Will they even think that their answers would be made public-probably not most MS students.

This may seem obvious, but judging by the notices we have received, many teachers (and especially students) are under the impression that if it is on the web, then it is up for grabs.

  This is protocol in my classroom-they may as well learn it right the first time rather than the hard way later. When using Google images: go all the way to the cog wheel pull down on the right side of the toolbar; 2) go down to Advance Search; 3) inside Advanced Image Search, all the way at the bottom is a pulldown for usage rights, select "free to use or share" or, if you need to alter the image in anyway "fee to use share or modify."

That is, in some cases, if an image, text, video, etc. is being used for educational purposes, there might be more flexible copyright rules.

  This is a biggie! I know of some teachers who upload all their homework handouts in .pdf format. I can think of only one who might have asked permission to do so. But, why bother buying that textbook's workbook if I can download it from another district for free. I can certainly see publishers having issue with that.

  This answers my earlier question about using a video in eduCanon. Seemed really wrong to do that, but guess it is understood when you upload if you allow others to borrow, they will.

I've shared some of the apps from Niks blog already, there are some really great student and teacher tools for the language classroom and beyond. Short, easy to follow videos explaining each app are really useful. Watch out, though, found just a few links that are broken. Not all apps are free.

looking at their follower/updates list; if they are following 10,000 people, have 20 followers, and only 1 update then I’d safely say it’s an automated account and can be ignored!

  Pull classrooms, class periods, departments, etc. More centralized than a shared Google doc? I'm thinking yes and participants will be forced to be brief.

Looks like a great tool for students to organize their vocabulary and phrasebook in one place and share it if they want to.
