The Google+ Language Hangout Experiment « Foreign Language « Look Out, Knock ... - 2 views

    • Abby Bajuniemi
       
      Cool!! If anyone is looking to see how a hangout could work, and you speak Spanish or Chinese, maybe try this out! 
  • The idea is simple: I want to host a public Hangout (so anyone can join) and people may come in and practice with me any one of the three languages I speak (Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, and yes English too!).  I’m not counting Japanese yet because I still can’t really produce Japanese effectively.

Next up for Google Plus Hangouts: Sign language support - Online Video News - 1 views

  • “I actually cried with joy at reading this post and finding out that Google and the Google+ team actually care about all of their user base. Thank you very much for just thinking about us.”

      This really struck me because, as a hearing person, I take for granted that there might be issues for hearing-impaired people. It's so cool to me that developers are concerned about these users and are working to make their product a good one for them. This could also be relevant to those who wish to chat online with ASL "speakers" when they are trying to learn ASL!

Google Plus Comes to Google Apps for (Higher) Education - 0 views

    • Abby Bajuniemi
       
      I do have some concerns about privacy with G+, but I am still trying to weigh, in my mind, the benefits vs. the costs of using a slick app like G+ vs. something we already have access to behind a password like Moodle. I am also wondering if the quality of engagement is the same, better or worse than that found in a forum like Moodle.

Education Nation: 7 Tips For Using Social Media in Your Classroom - 4 views

  • Role playing is an absolute blast when combined with social media. The concept is super simple and generates powerful learning opportunities. Assign students to a role and they engage other students (who are also assigned roles) in character.

      This is interesting. I wish there were more discussion on this.

iPads in the Spanish Classroom! - iPads in Education - 6 views

  • The app I used was called "Sock Puppets" They first wrote out a script then recorded them using the App. Finally, we had them switch iPads and watch the other "puppet shows".

      This sounds like a fun thing to do with middle-schoolers! 
  •  
    Super interesting thread on ways in which other Spanish teachers have incorporated iPads into their classrooms! Maybe some ideas for people?
