The Committed Sardine - Digital Diet Small Bytes - 2 views

    • Carol Petersen
       
      I love free resources and I also love help to remember how to do something "techy". Once I have used a tool several different times, I am good to go. However, the first couple of times, I always need my reference.

    Resource guides to some common digital tools, all in one place!
  •  
    I'm all about free resources! I especially like that there is a free Prezi guide b/c my students have to use Prezi for some of their projects, including one on the final exam, and it's tough for them if they have never used it before. That guide could really help in their understanding of how to use this tool.

Spanish on Twitter | Spanish Only - 1 views

  •  
    Twitter, the micro-blogging platform, is getting more and more popular each and every day. And why wouldn't it? There are countless applications for mobile phones, third-party websites to add functions to it and above all; it's simple to use! So yeah, why wouldn't you use it and why wouldn't you use it to learn Spanish?

  • I now turn to Twitter friends for help in the same way that I turn to the teachers on my hallway. Recently, a friend in my Twitter feed pointed me to a great strategy for structuring classroom discussions, a practice I'd been struggling with (http://angelacunningham.wordpress.com/2009/05/teaching-students-to-dialogue.html).

      Yes!

      I can see this being a great use of Twitter.
    • Kim Fynboh
       
      this would work!
  • he primary reason for my inability to embrace differentiation as a teacher was that, until recently, I'd never experienced differentiation as a learner. Like most practitioners, I've spent too much professional development time sitting in lectures delivered to entire faculties. No one offered preassessments, tiered lessons, or learning contracts to my colleagues or me.

    This is really the tail wagging the dog. Some of the ideas that tie information to a place are interesting, but I think that AudioBoo would be a better tool for those kinds of activities (http://audioboo.fm/).

Facebook-ing and the Social Generation: A New Era of Language Learning - 1 views

  •  
    Abstract: In this paper, we examine the use of Facebook (FB) as a social networking tool in an intermediate French class. After reviewing the available studies on FB in language instruction, we analyze surveys that were administered to students as well as student FB posts. We look at the potential benefits of social media, specifically FB, and discuss its impact on foreign language learning. We aim to address how FB is being used in the language classroom, how students respond to the integration of this social networking site in courses, the attitudes of higher education foreign language learners towards FB, as well as the role of FB in new learning spaces and with today's learners. An analysis of survey data suggests that students respond in a positive manner toward the use of FB in education and highlights some differences in the way FB is used in both personal and academic settings.

      I have taken the plunge with this one. My students are using their Spanish names for their screen names. Special accents are pretty easy to insert in this platform.

    It looks interesting, Charles! You'll have to let us know later on how things are going and what kinds of things you found worked well in that environment! Thanks for sharing the site.

    I've used this and really like it. The kids adapted to it very easily. You can have students type or record answers to audio, video, or photo prompts. You can also send back verbal feedback! One caution though, we had we not able to get the recording to work with Google Chrome on our 2010 MacBooks. Worked flawlessly in Safari. We're getting new laptops this year, so I'll have to see if we have the same problems. Will keep you posted on that.

      We don't "parse" verbs in Spanish... I don't really know what that is... conjugate? We also don't do much translating... I wonder how a person could use this idea in a more communicative way?

      It could be like a waterfall of tweets... hablar hablo hablas habla hablamos hablais hablan. Teacher calls out the verb and tense and each student (or student group) tweets in the collection of conjugations (parses??).

    This is so cool! I know it would keep my students more engaged and focused on what could potentially be boring grammatical exercises. I do not currently use an on-line notebook and want to use Google docs more often. Lots to think about!
