Technology | World Language classroom - 11 views

  • All it takes is a QR reading app on a smartphone to quickly and instantly hear the student’s voice.
  • On Wheel Decide, teachers can type in the words that they want displayed on the wheel and on each click the wheel spins and lands on a random color.

      This seems like a tool I would use and students would enjoy.
  •  
    Relevant to what we are doing in class and some of these ideas are great!

    Instagram is something I haven't looked at at all - it would be interesting to see how / if others use it for school
  •  
    This has multiple ideas --many of which we have already seen!
  •  
    It is a great summary for technology tools. Some of them we have already started in class, and some of them I will definitely explore in the future!

Digital Highlighting Activity - creative Language class - 6 views

  • Posted by Kara Parker on April 17, 2017 in 3 Activities, Interpretive Reading, Reading, Techy Stuff, What's New
  • Highlighting is one of my top go-to interpretive reading activities. Today I will review an app for Apple devices and chrome. Let’s see how highlighting can go digital! I blogged about this “Highlight Away” activity before… It was Idea #71 in 2012! If you haven’t read it, take a minute to see where this idea started. Why I love highlighting… It gives a focus while reading It takes away the frustration of “not knowing every word” (adjust the task, not the text) It preps them to summarize It preps them to discuss the reading No comprehension questions needed (low teacher prep) It lets them figure out the meaning and learn new words in context It shows comprehension without translating Here are a few examples of highlighting activities we’ve done in lessons:

      I think this article is very helpful.

      This is a great idea - they could also highlight in an app like Notability if you use that
  • s in the Street Art unit. They were reading opinions about graffiti before they gave their opinion. It was awesome seeing how this activity gave them so many solid reasons that support their opinions.

  •  template for you to adapt and use if you are doing the activity with highlighters and printed articles. copy and paste the image to your preferred program (Word, PowerPoint, Pages, Keynote, etc). Add text boxes over the image to create your categories.

Authentic Activities for the World Language classroom | Edutopia - 27 views

  • Encourage students to have silent conversations using Google Docs. choose a theme and have each student select a color for their responses. Make sure they share the document with you too, so that you can monitor and comment.

      I love this idea of using google docs for interpretive activities
  • In order to help students better master the units we teach, remember these rules when selecting activities:They must be authentic. They should always be engaging. Activities should be varied. They need to be focused on the unit theme. Perhaps most importantly, they should force students to use the target language.

      Important to remember!

      This reminds me of the assessment class I took at cARLA where I learned about the importance of using authentic materials to help boost student engagement and language learning.
  • f we make activities genuine, our students will be much more inclined to participate, acquiring new knowledge in the process.

      I just heard about FluentU. How is Yabla different from FluentU?
  • authenticity

      I think authenticity refers to authentic materials and authentic tasks. What are real things native speakers would do?
  •  
    This looks like a good resource for new classroom activities for any language.

    I am very interested in creating comics, I will use this in class: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/strip-designer/id314780738?mt=8 Thank you a lot for the great ideas. May George, Group c.
  •  
    This site has some awesome ideas! I can't wait to start planning for the upcoming school year!
  •  
    Amazing blog! I really like the explanation they provide for authenticity since it is not just decoration of the classroom with the cultural aspects of the target language. I will be using some of the activities they suggest :-)
  •  
    This great. I am not comfortable with the modes. This blog will help me to associate the modes with activities which will be more meaningful for me.
  •  
    Always good to have a list like this on hand! I also like the breakdown by modes.
  •  
    Thanks for sharing. I bookmarked it.
  •  
    Looks like a great list!
  •  
    This is such a valuable resource. While it felt validating to see some of the activities that I already use on these lists, they also gave me new ideas to try for next semester. I am sure students will appreciate the variety.
  •  
    I have used both Veinte Mundos and Paperboy--Wondering if I can use EdPuzzle/ Playposit, or Diigo with these-- I think that will help with greater student engagement and my ability to track what they are 'doing' with these resources-- It is not enough to assign them to watch/ read, I need to provide the activity to accompany it.
  •  
    this one is a keeper.
  •  
    If a tech device is not available for all students in class, you can do silent talk using a pen and paper. I used to call this activity "Pencil Talk"
  •  
    This seems like an excellent article/suggestion. I really enjoy using Google Docs and am excited to look into that.
  •  
    I, too, was planning to bookmark this piece. I appreciated that it was organized by the different modes.
  •  
    Focusing on authenticity makes students more inclined to participate. In addition, activities should be engaging, varied, focused on the unit theme and force students to use the target language. This article has suggestions for engaging activities for the interpretive, interpersonal and presentational mode. Many of these activities use technology, and the author provides links to the apps. A very useful and quick read.
  •  
    I really like the idea of doing an email activity with my students! Thank you for posting this article! Great ideas!
  •  
    Now I have another question: what role does a textbook play in our instruction? Do we need to get rid of materials written for language learners?
