      This is a script you can install on a google doc. I could spend time explaining it, but the demo is very clear.  It will save you a ton of time! We use Google Forms with flubaroo to do common formative assessments in our department as well as a homework assignment to get data for flexible groupings the next day.  If you have not used Google Forms before I would strongly recommend playing around with them, and then learn how to Flubaroo to save yourself some time!

      I think this is a great way to bring popular culture into the classroom.  TV shows provide a more authentic representation of language than educational videos.

      This is a fun word and expression.
  • Literally translated, the word Affenhitze means "monkey-heat" (or "ape-heat"), but it has little to do with monkeys
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Gestern war eine Affenhitze ("Yesterday was a scorcher
  • likely came into common use more than 100 years ago. Back then, the ape enclosure at the Berlin Zoo was unbearably hot, and people spoke of a Hitze wie im Affenstall ("heat like that in the ape enclosure"). Over time, this simply evolved into Affenhitze.

      Does anyone know anything more about applications for shortening URLs? Any use for them other than for Twitter use?
    • srafuller
      srafuller on 28 Jul 14
       
      I've used goo.gl which is Google's URL shortener. I like it because it also generates a QR code. The code can then be printed out and used for listening practice (the project that I used it with was a recorded dialogue uploaded to YouTube).
  • automated accounts that don’t have any visible purpose, someone who has nothing in common with you
  • looking at their follower/updates list; if they are following 10,000 people, have 20 followers, and only 1 update then I’d safely say it’s an automated account and can be ignored!

      Pull classrooms, class periods, departments, etc. More centralized than a shared Google doc? I'm thinking yes and participants will be forced to be brief.
  • engaging your followers on their content
  • No one likes a smart-arse
  • this means you can easily collate tweets together
  • you’ll end up learning from your learners.
  • Marlene Johnshoy on 21 Jul 14
     
    Karen, I use a shortener when I have a very long URL - even to include in an email, or to advertise something I want people to go to (a survey I did) and some shorteners will let you pick your own ending so it can be something recognizable rather than random letters. I think Twitter does this automatically for you now.

      I liked this blog.  My textbook is older than my students!, so I don't use it for very much, and I can see that I will be looking at this frequently.  Just added it to my Feedly!

    I originally signed on to this blog (and downloaded the e-book) because I was so interested in teaching with technology. But Matt is a foreign-language teacher, and I'm really intrigued by the way he organizes his curriculum around Performance-Based Learning and questioning.

      A few of my students use Prezi. Basically like powerpoint, but visually a little more appealing. I'm assuming it's free, and probably stored in the cloud somewhere, so students can't really "lose" or forget it.
    • srafuller

      Prezi is free, and does have a sharing component. It is helpful for students that use Ipads, since Google presentation doesn't seem to work for them.

      I was expecting something totally different when I clicked on this article. Teaching at a community college, I thought it might be about online behavior on a discussion board assignment or something online and collaborative. Even though it was about something else, I found this tool to be fascinating and thought if I taught in the K-12 system, this would be a great tool.

  • ClassCharts uses html 5 so should run in any modern browser whether it’s a laptop, iPad or Android tablet, so the teacher can use an tablet during the class to instantly update behaviours.
  • This is quite a complex tool and creates a lot of data, so I think it’s going to take a bit of getting used to for teachers and perhaps a bit of training too.

      I envision the teacher walking around with a tablet and making notes in this program instead of taking notes in a notebook. How far we have come!
