Digitally Speaking / Voicethread - 4 views

  •  
    Great source of information, examples and ideas about using Voicethread for digital conversations.
  •  
    thanks for sharing Roxana. I really like how this blog discusses the language and cultural uses of using voicethread to create learning communities. It provided me many practical examples I can use in my classroom to help students focus on langauge development while using the technology. This post puts the focus on learning not on the technology. The handouts are great supports that help students stay on the learning track and because of this, the coummunity of learning is built. I was a little concerned by the deficit language used on the scoring rubric for asynchronous content. I will probably use something similar by change the wording to be a little more constructive, as meaning can be lost online and harsh wording can be misinterpreted.

    I joined. Do you think this is a "more" professional format for a Facebook group then running it from my personal Facebook page? Or does it matter?

Teaching the World in Minnesota - 2 views

  • Teaching the World in Minnesota
    • Andy Wiesinger
       
      I don't know if everyone knows how diverse Minnesota really is. Not just hotdish and lutefisk!
  •  
    As many as 145 languages are spoken in Minnesota public schools. This fall, students with the University of Minnesota's School of Journalism and Mass Communication are working with MPRNews to explore that classroom diversity -- and sharing a bit of what they find as they go.
  •  
    Incredible. I knew Minnesota is diverse.. you just need to go outside and see it. But, data shown in this page is amazing. I also have read some of the other posts. I think that this could be a good resource for high school or college because it shows facts, and authentic stories.

LangMedia: Resources for World Languages - Five College Center for the Study of World L... - 3 views

  • We aim to provide examples of authentic language spoken in its natural cultural environment so that students of all ages can better understand the interplay between a language and its culture. The videos were filmed with handheld camcorders and microphones provided by the Center. The video and audio quality varies.
    • MariaEmicle Lopez
       
      This resource page gives access to spoken language and culture through authentic video and audio materials. There are materials in different languages on a variety of topics raging from basic communication, to culture, social life, transportation, etc. I found materials from some of Latin American countries and Spain on necessitites>emergency situations (Emergency Room, Taking the Physical Exam, etc.) for my Medical Spanish class.
  • Students should be aware that we have tried to remain true to the language our subjects actually uttered. Therefore, we have not corrected grammatical errors and the videos sometimes show highly colloquial language, local slang, and regional specific speech patterns.

Visuals for Foreign Language Instruction - 2 views

  • This site contains hundreds of visual aids (illustrations) that can be used to support instructional tasks such as describing objects and people (i.e., teaching vocabulary) or describing entire events and situations (i.e., teaching grammar).
    • MariaEmicle Lopez
       
      What I find useful from using illustrations on this page is that they are in clipboard design and are free of words in English or any other language. Each illustration allows for a variety of activities raging from reviewing vocabulary, grammar, being creative using different skills: writing, speaking; individual or small group work.
  • Browse the collection…

      I've search the almost 500 images and found some that I can use for the purposes of my Medical Spanish class (browse pg or image 61)

Audio QR Codes - 1 views

  • 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?
    • Adrienne Gonzales
       
      I think these are awesome ideas! I can see a lot of potential for using this in L2 teaching/learning activities.
  •  
    This is a quick tutorial for embedding audio into QR codes. it provides a couple examples of how this might be used in an educational setting.
  •  
    Adrianne, I like your link a lot. QR is a great helper. I have used it last year and make easy to my students to get faster to pages I wanted them to go.

5 Social Media Tools for College Students - US News - 1 views

  • On average the site saves students $500 a year,
    • Shereen Elgamal
       
      This is a great resource for introductory-level books as students use them for a few weeks and wouldn't have any need/use for them after that.
  • He also says the rental site has all of the newest editions of the textbooks with supplemental materials
    • Shereen Elgamal
       
      An added advantage to buying used books from Amazon and similar sites as they can be older editions or missing CDs or DVDs.

The perils of electronic translation - 3 views

  • I made sure that they understood why I felt using a translator for work that the students were supposed to do is plagiarism. This has to be the first step.
    • Ferrel Rose
       
      Teaching students how (not) to use technology for effective learning is part of our job as language educators.
    • danielhkarvonen
       
      We have had some rather unpleasant situations recently with students using Google translate to write essays outside class. I agree that the policy has to be clear and that the implications have to be as well. Several instructors have moved to doing all essay writing in class.
  • On one of the very first days, I take the lyrics of a popular song that most students would know and paste it into a translator.
    • Ferrel Rose
       
      An easier way to do this is to show this short video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMkJuDVJdTw

Tips for Teachers Who Wish to Use YouTube in Classroom - EdTechReview™ (ETR) - 1 views

  • YouTube is the greatest video hub.
    • Diane Nordin
       
      This is the major reason for me to want to share videos on YouTube instead of other video sharing sites.
  • Never Set Students Free to Access it without Proper Guidance:
    • Diane Nordin
       
      Very important!!
  • While copying the embed code, make sure you’ve unmarked “Show suggested videos when the video finishes”. This helps you expose your students to YouTube videos in a safe and secured manner.
    • Diane Nordin
       
      Good tip on sharing the video link.

Learning and Leading - August 2010 - 3 views

  •  
    Point/Counterpoint - a discussion on "is technology killing critical-thinking skills?" I think they're coming from the same point of view, but expressing it differently. A lot of frustration with internet filters...
  •  
    We can continue a discussion here in the Diigo group about articles, tools, or whatever the group finds and bookmarks. You can also put "sticky notes" right on the article page itself - no one but the logged-in group members can actually see the notes. This is one way we can keep the "group momentum" going after the institute ends. Add your thoughts!

Nik's Learning Technology Blog: Creating Social Polls and Questionnaires Using Urtak - 3 views

    • Marlene Johnshoy
       
      This is a note I created that I can add to the page to draw attention to a certain area, or ask a question, etc. I have also set this note to be visible only to the "carlatech" Diigo group.
    • Marlene Johnshoy
       
      You can add a "reply" to my note so we could discuss here...
  •  
    This is terrific, Marlene. I intend to look into this Blog for my Action Research project for the IBSC (International Boys' Schools Coalition) I am part of. I am supposed to work all year long on my action and report on my findings next summer at the annual gathering in London (We are a team of 16 language teachers from all over). Your summer institute has been a wake up call for me in so many senses!! Also, thanks for inviting me to join this group!
