Checking Reading Comprehension Remotely Using Student-Designed Comics - The FLTMAG - 4 views

  • The book is an excellent summative text for the course because it brings together the historical, ideological, philosophical, and artistic viewpoints that students had engaged with throughout the semester. 
  • At first glance, this might seem like a simple assignment, but it requires higher order thinking. It required students not just to understand the story of the character in question, but also to apply this understanding by retelling the story in their own (German) words. Students did not just demonstrate reading comprehension; the assignment forced them to identify key details in the story in order to make the story fit the limited number of panels available.

    The app name is Make Beliefs Comix and the author is Carol Anne Costabile-Heming.

    I love Makebeliefscomix. it is a much better option than when I had students draw a comic strip and take a picture of it to turn in. I will be using this one. Thanks!
  •  
    I just tried the site to see how it works. I find it user friendly, easy to navigate through.
  •  
    I like Makebeliefscomix too. It is easy to use and the students have fun creating heir message.

Tech Tool of the Month: Adobe Spark Video Part 1 - 2 views

  •  
    This tool can create and add beautiful videos with photos, text and music for presentational or other communicative activities. The user can begin with a template and ready made images or start from scratch with their own images.
  •  
    I tried this tech tool but I couldn't figure out how to make a video that is beyond basic.
  •  
    There's a Part 2 that gives further introduction and directions to the tool and its features (see the link attached). Hope it be of help for your further exploration of the tool. https://teachersfirst.com/blog/2020/03/tech-tool-of-the-month-adobe-spark-video-part-2/

    My first chance to read Florencia's article, made me realize that oftentimes students' OT use is driven by what they perceive to be our unrealistic expectations of them. She offers a very practical strategy for accommodating OT in the classroom while reducing student motivation to resort to it.
  •  
    An easily readable article with key insights into why forbidding OT is NOT the best practice after all!
  •  
    Absolutely loved this article, nice set of five questions to ask when designing assignments ina way that discourages student use of OTs.
  •  
    Great article!
  •  
    I relate to approaches #1 and #2, but not really the rest. I haven't had many issues with OT anyway. What is your approach?

Using VoiceThread for Language Classes - VoiceThread - 3 views

  • The true strength of this application was the bi-directional learning that happened from student to student.
    • jmgabbard
       
      Good platform for asynchronous student-student engagement that can be reviewed by instructor
  •  
    Blog post with VoiceThread activity ideas for world language class
  •  
    I like how useful this tool is for engaging students, pushes them to develop skills faster, for assessments and to avoid the "drill and kill" process that is demotivating.

Música {and music videos} in the language classroom | Teaching a World Language - 10 views

    • ncsargo
       
      Using eduCanon to embed questions into music videos is far more convenient than answering questions with simple pen and paper. If you aren't an eduCanon fan at the very least these sites are great resources for Spanish language music for interpretive activities.
  • Next, my recent favorite, eduCanon.
    • ncsargo
       
      Silent videos can be used to create an interpretive activity for any language. Simon's cat is a good resource for silent videos, the following link also has many great silent videos that work with developing emotional intelligence and creative writing: http://ineverycrea.net/comunidad/ineverycrea/recurso/10-cortometrajes-para-trabajar-la-educacion-emocio/0f46341c-920e-48da-8147-0656407da4f1

      Here is a great interpretive activity; having students use Twitter to convey how a song makes them feel or to write a ministory in 140 characters or less!
    • ncsargo
       
      I found this idea particularly insightful because I feel students must understand the main idea of the video fairly well to condense the theme into 140 characters!
  • First, let’s talk resources; here are some of my “go-to” music websites for Spanish. Feel free to add your own comments with additional sources that you like to use.
  • For #authres: Bilblioteca Musical: http://musicaenespanol.weebly.com/ LyricsTraining: http://lyricstraining.com/ Zambombazo {Cancionero}: http://zachary-jones.com/zambombazo/tag/cancionero/ TodoELE {Canciones}: http://www.todoele.net/canciones/Cancion_list.asp El Mundo Birch: http://elmundodebirch.wordpress.com/2014/03/30/spanish-music-database-updated/ Youtube {different channels}: https://www.youtube.com/ MTVTres: http://www.tr3s.com/ Los40: http://los40.com/ For non-natives/ELE: Rockalingua: http://www.rockalingua.com/ Senor Wooly: http://www.senorwooly.com/ Realidades I, II y III {Canciones de HipHop}
  • This tool can be used in any discipline, with any grade. What a neat way to begin class, end class or assign as an independent practice activity. By embedding music videos into eduCanon, the teacher can pose questions about the actual video or the music lyrics that may appear. Here is a sample video I created in English using a great silent film source: Simon’s Cat
    • annalisaandre
       
      I find this idea very interesting. I might use a collection of music videos in eduCanon to work with students about vocabulary related to emotional states.
    • elenistef7
       
      I like the idea about using silent films like Simon Cat. Another source for silent films could be Charlie Chaplin.
  • -Have students describe how they feel when listening to the music, in #140charactersorless: write a mini story to go with the music & emotions, post to Twitter or a learning management site used {Edmodo, Schoology, Canvas, etc}, share their stories in small groups, collaborate using Google Docs to create a unique tale based on the music they hear, present their stories to the class {act it out, swap stories with another group, re-enact silently: have classmates reinvent the original story}
  •  
    Great resource for using Spanish language music videos and silent videos for interpretive activities, check out my sticky notes for more resources!
  •  
    Great resource for using Spanish language music videos and silent videos in the classroom for interpretive activities with Twitter and eduCanon.

    I like the idea of using Simon Cat videos. Another option: Charlie Chaplin films
