students also know I will look at the “Editing History” to hold them each accountable.
-
With Google Docs, they can quickly find the right word for their writing with Google Translate.

What’s more important is that I can provide feedback without drawing dark red lines across their writing, an experience that can be discouraging to many writers (including myself). Instead, we use Comments, Editing, or Suggesting to provide less invasive feedback; we can also share audio feedback right in the document using Kaizena, a Google Doc add-on. Students can receive immediate feedback multiple times throughout the writing process--and I don’t have worry about dragging stacks of paper home!
-
I'm curious to look at this Kaizena...in addition to commenting/suggesting, I also use colors to clarify my edits for students (I do this on paper, too)--different colors represent different kinds of errors, for example, purple means there is an error or lack of clarity in vocabulary choice, red means the verb is misconjugated, etc.

This article focuses on the use, potential benefits, and best practices of interactive visual media in online education and remote learning. We will discuss: What are the main arguments for interactive visual media in online learning? What are some examples and best practices for creating visual learning materials for students? How can students use interactive visual media for documenting and sharing their learning?
-
Interactive images, videos, and virtual tours can support online learning by providing an alternative to text-based communication. Here are three arguments for why this is the case.

-
Pictures, sounds, and words together with a contextual experience of a place can create memorable learning experiences more efficiently than plain images or written words alone that are not associated with anything real
-
Seeing a new word written under a picture and hearing how it is pronounced, helps us understand and remember what we are looking at.
-
We can remember and learn on a virtual field trip the same way as we learn on a physical field trip.
-
Interactive videos, audio posters, narrated screenshots, and virtual tours can be effective tools for online education that help educators and learners work together using not only text-based communication, but also voice, video, and images.
-
A great way for giving assignments or sharing projects is adding voice instructions to various areas of a photo, poster or a screenshot.
-
Equipment: The good news is, you only need your phone or laptop, so there is no need to invest in additional hardware unless you want to
-
Recording: Find a place with natural light where you feel comfortable, and start recording. The audience is your students so picture them in front of you, and address them as you would in the class. You may even mention some of them by name to keep their attention!
-
Duration: Our recommendation is you look at the lesson as a whole and divide it into parts, max 10-15 minutes and ideally 6 minutes each.
-
Project-based learning, inquiry-based learning, and problem-based learning are constructivist approaches to education that develop the learners skills for research, problem-solving and collaboration. The process is based on authentic questions and problems identified by students, and finding information and explanation models to research and solve them.
-
An important aspect of student-centered learning is documenting the various phases and aspects of the learning process.
-
The following examples will show how students can use mixed media for completing various kinds of creative assignments and sharing them with their teacher and fellow students.
-
In the following, we summarize 10 easy project ideas for remote learning that encourage students to 1) make handwritten, visual and pictorial notes, collages and artwork, and 2) enhance and explain their work using digital audio/text notes, photos and video. Each of the examples provide a mix of learning opportunities combining traditional student work in the classroom with digital storytelling at home. The projects can be shared to a learning management system or collaboration platform such as Canvas, Schoology, Google Education or Microsoft Teams.
-
Hotspots, what are they and how do they work? The purpose of the clickable hotspots is to give the viewer further information and resources on the topic they are learning about. Teachers and students can add various types of content in the hotspots, such as text, additional closeup images, video, sound, links and embedded web content such as maps or forms. These resources can serve any of the following functions: Building perspective by linking to related materials Improving comprehension of the topic by highlighting key concepts and vocabulary Zooming into details in a scene Creating a feedback loop by including a call to action

I have been thinking of what makes Thinglink different from the Microsoft Power Point? PPT also enables you to add recording on a slide. Later, I realized that Thinglink enables multiple layers to one picture/screen. Users can opt to access to other media or information when necessary. It would be useful to provide scaffolding only when it is necessary (e.g., students click links to get hint only when they cannot complete the task by themselves). Thinglink also condense information within one page/slide/screen without having to scroll down. However, we may be economical when we decide how many links we want to put on one screen.
-
Whether we like it or not, it looks like we're going to consider some of this information in the upcoming school year. As I browsed the article, I realize options are almost unlimited but of course it requires time to figure out and prepare materials. Last spring I felt a bit like a Youtuber and I see how that is not actually an easy job!

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!
-
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.

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
-
-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

Media Examples for the Classroom - TEACHING MEDIA - 1 views

Some of the most productive parts of the class were the weekly take-home assignments that asked the students to post comments on their social networking sites while using connected viewing technology
-
While the students learned a lot from the class assignments, they were initially anxious about letting an instructor into their social network. I felt it was necessary to preserve the anonymity of the students for the study so I wanted to keep their comments about the connected viewing private.
-
Unfortunately, the only way to ensure this anonymity was to create a “secret” Facebook group. “Secret” Facebook groups are one of three categories of groups that allow members of the social network to collaborate on a project. Though this setting allows all posts and members to remain confidential it also required me, as the creator of the “secret” Facebook group, to “friend” all of my students so that I could then add them to the group.
- ...5 more annotations...
-
“Friending” the students raised some privacy concerns for me and for my students. Suddenly, we could see the everyday things that we were posting to Facebook. According to a survey conducted by Tammy Swenson Lepper, students are uncomfortable with authority figures making judgments about them based on their “private” Facebook communications, regardless of the pubic availability of this information (183-184)
-
-
-
Facebook and Twitter are easier to manage on mobile devices and are familiar interfaces.
-
This makes the class more student-centered and gives those struggling to follow lectures and readings an additional platform to work through course concepts.

magine students’ artwork hanging in your school’s hallway and beside each masterpiece is a QR code. When parents, students, and other teachers scan the code using a mobile device, they hear the student telling about themselves and the relevance of their art... Or what about a QR code in the back of a library book that allows you to hear a student’s review of the book? Or a QR code sent home to parents that allows them to listen to their 1st grader reading or telling a story?

Add a discussion page to PBworks - 1 views

This is a function that I always thought was lacking in PBworks (compared to Wikispaces, for example) - now they are recommending this app as an add-in. Only a PBworks admin can add this however - you need to click the "Allow javascript" button. This page has screenshot instructions, if you're not sure how to add it. HOWEVER - I haven't been able to get it to work, yet... I don't know if it's a login problem or what. It shows up in the wiki page, but I can't add anything to the discussion.
