      For those who are using Blackboard at school, this tutorial video will be very helpful.

    This can be a handy direction (in both video and writing) for using Voice Thread in Blackboard for people like me who are using Bb. Thanks for sharing!
  •  
    Due to issues I've encountered lately with opening sites and links that did not like my laptop, I've decided to stick with tools offered in BB which is what is used at my school. The explanations look clear enough for EVEN ME to figure out so I am thrilled to be able to access this tool AND use it!

    I have been loving the NFLC videos this week! So many incredible sessions! They will be available on YouTube until August 31!
  •  
    Cool resource. Thanks for sharing!
  •  
    Wonderful resource for so many activities! Thank you!
  •  
    Thanks for sharing this. Lots of good information and inspiration here.
  •  
    Thanks for sharing! I love her comment "The digital native is a myth." This is exactly what my colleagues and I have been noticing as our school went 1:1. Students understand how to use tech for social media and gaming but not as a tool for school.
  •  
    Looks like the perfect video to watch as a prelude to doing the hard work of shifting a course to online format. The essential reminder for me: "Pick a few tools and use them over and over again." Better for students, better for us....

Learning through the Pandemic | AAUP - 1 views

  • Online distance learning is impersonal and has the potential to violate personal privacy. Even a matter as seemingly straightforward as turning on web cameras can raise difficult questions: Are cameras needed to humanize the lesson? Do they force an uninvited intimacy, revealing the realities of students’ and faculty members’ living situations?
    • greghutcheson
       
      I'd love to hear debate on this in particular. Cameras on or off?...
  •  
    Important ruminations for instructors at urban public universities who are moving to online teaching. (Not specific to FL teaching per se, but it's well worth our bearing some of these caveats in mind....)

    3 huge reasons to like it!

    I'm not sure if it does more than what can be done on Schoology, our LMS. Does anyone have experience with this?

Extempore: Digital Language Lab and Speaking Practice App - The EdTech Roundup - 1 views

    • janayalf
       
      I like this review of Extempore a lot because it lays out all that the tool can do in a clear way. It also gives it a rating and discusses ways in which it can be used.
  •  
    Agreed! An excellent overview, including videos! What I'd love to see, though, is what an Extempore session looks like in real time. Any suggestions?...

HyperPadlets & Padlet Timelines - Jake Miller - 1 views

  • Format Flexibility! There are 8 different Padlet formats: Wall, Canvas, Stream, Grid, Shelf, Backchannel, Map & Timeline. Screenshot from padlet.com
    • nurlider
       
      These templates can be templates for a variety of projects.
  • Content Flexibility! Once you select a format, your posts on the Padlet can be pretty much anything!
  • Your students will not need an account to access your Padlets or post/comment on your Padlets.  They would, however, need an account in order to make their own.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Remake – Want to reuse a Padlet in multiple classes or across multiple years?
    • nurlider
       
      I can also use copy of student entries as a platform for in-class activities.
  • Customization – Padlet gives you lots of options in the settings area.  You can customize the appearance, change the URL to make it easier to access, turn comments on/off, turn reactions (stars, upvotes, likes, grades) on/off, require approval for posts, filter profanity. 
  • Real-time Collaboration – If you choose to allow collaboration, you and your collaborators (students! teachers! parents!) can collaborate in realtime. 
  • 2. Second, I didn’t know that Padlet had a Timeline option!After Matt’s tweet, I discovered that a Timeline option was added by Padlet in December 2019
    • nurlider
       
      I used the timeline option for one of Week 4 activities I designed. It was for a biography reading. It worked really well.

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.

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/

Extempore: A Speaking Practice App - The FLTMAG - 2 views

  • A Speaking Practice App
    • vallb001
       
      I would say compared to Flipgrid the biggest thing is it has a more formal interface, perhaps more appropriate for assessment. I'm not sure if that is worth paying a license though.
  • creation of assignments, houses student responses, and provides a portal for teachers to provide feedback
  • production and recording of speech
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • One comment I often get from students is that they wish they had more frequent, but lower stakes oral assessments. A platform like Extempore begins to make this possible
    • greghutcheson
       
      I'm beginning to see the virtue of lower-stakes oral assessments, but wonder if a tool such as VoiceThread can be configured to perform the same functions as Extempore. (I'd rather go with what we've got at my institution than make the case for purchasing a new site license....)
