Matt has a lot of great tech ideas - and he's a Spanish teacher, so many are specific to language teaching and learning. If you don't know his blog, you may want to take a look around.
Karly Moura does a guest blog post for Matt Miller.
"Flipgrid is a video response platform where educators can have online video discussions with students or other educators. Teachers can provide feedback to students AND better yet students can provide feedback to one another."
Matt writes: "I was introduced to a new twist on an old way of planning lessons this weekend at CUE BOLD, billed as "The Premiere Lesson Design Event for the West Coast."
Includes links to 30 lessons and their slide decks.
The idea: let's build lessons that utilize technology through the framework of the Madeline Hunter Lesson Plan."
Matt Miller has a wonderful website that has so many helpful items. I am sharing this because these items include a variety of useful activities, templates and ideas regarding online teaching.
I've used google forms for sending surveys to staff before. I've NEVER thought about how cool it would be to use for students and collecting answers on quizzes or analyzing the answer responses they submit. I probably would use this more if I was teaching in the upper grades... Any ideas for K-2 ESL uses??
Came across the idea in Carlatech in July, but this article provides multiple ways of implementing. Something you can start doing in just about any class tomorrow!
I liked this blog. My textbook is older than my students!, so I don't use it for very much, and I can see that I will be looking at this frequently. Just added it to my Feedly!
I originally signed on to this blog (and downloaded the e-book) because I was so interested in teaching with technology. But Matt is a foreign-language teacher, and I'm really intrigued by the way he organizes his curriculum around Performance-Based Learning and questioning.
