      This article is not the most recent, but it's still an interesting read.
  • trying to have a conversation with someone you have never met, over a low quality video connection, in a language you don’t speak very well, is quite challenging socially as well as linguistically.

      This is the most interesting point in the article. Even when speaking with another native English speaker on Skype or Google Hangouts, it can be hard to negotiate turn taking.

  • Anyone who has used video chat for business purposes knows just how difficult it is to execute turn-taking, interrupting, and politeness.

  • An unlimited number of users can contribute to a padlet at the same time, making collaborative work very easy.

      I wonder what a good group size would be for most Padlet activities? If it's sort of a social media feed like the one I created for class, I suppose it could be everyone. If it's creating a digital poster, groups of three might work well.
  •   No account necessary to collaborate

      This really does make things easier. My students had trouble remembering passwords to things this summer, so it's great when there is no login required.

      I don't quite understand this use of Padlet. Why not just use Google Docs? I think Padlet is useful because it allows students to include multimedia.

      I would add that another benefit is how sleek it can look. It's amazing how much design can make a difference in educational activities.

      It seems that Padlet has a Power-Point/Prezi-like option for creating presentations. I'll have to look more into that.

      Colleen has presented on the Mirroring Project in some of my classes. It seems to have impressive results for international students' pronunciation and presentation skills.

      The goal here is for the international student to copy the TED speaker as much as possible. They should think about pronunciation, intonation, stress, and gesture.

  • Research suggests that students perform tasks where concentration is required, better with music playing in the background.

      I'm guessing that it should be instrumental. Classical or jazz?

      Jazz chants, jazz chants. I feel like these get mentioned all the time, yet I know no teacher who has ever used them...

  • Students make a doodle video.  It’s easy to do and read about it here.  Students each make a picture for one line of a song. Put them together and then make a movie.
  • Carolyn Graham’s “Jazz Chants” are perfect for any class, young or old. The repetition, rhythm and simplicity of them make any lesson very effective.

      I like how simple this is.
  • Some in the song, some not. Students copy, listen, circle the vocabulary they hear.

    This blog has good resources - some related to tech and some not. I like that the author links to a lot of activity and lesson plans - it's good to have models.
