Nik's Learning Technology Blog - 2 views

    We should think about a few of these for the CARLA Tech SI (F2F). Some of them seem overlapping, but on the other hand, they give teachers more tools to choose from.
  •  
    It looks very straightforward, and it's nice to have more tools... except for when it seems overwhelming. I think the only thing that makes it easier is to be able to eliminate tools due to cost or formatting that seems unsafe for K-12.

      that's a really cool activity! I just listened to the clips this first time, but will try the activity later. From whom did all of these charactres come? P.s. for whatever reasons, the Diigo toolbar startup thing was on my desktop so I clicked "run" and now it appears on my toolbar!!

    I like this site too. It will be good to use with my novice learners.

    My students create a graphic novel/comic using "Storyboard That" as part of their final exam/program. I love seeing their creative side while practicing their language skills!

Online Translators in Language Classes: Pedagogical and Practical Considerations - The ... - 6 views

    This is a very helpful article about translators being used in assignments.

    My first chance to read Florencia's article, made me realize that oftentimes students' OT use is driven by what they perceive to be our unrealistic expectations of them. She offers a very practical strategy for accommodating OT in the classroom while reducing student motivation to resort to it.
  •  
    An easily readable article with key insights into why forbidding OT is NOT the best practice after all!
  •  
    Absolutely loved this article, nice set of five questions to ask when designing assignments ina way that discourages student use of OTs.
  •  
    Great article!
  •  
    I relate to approaches #1 and #2, but not really the rest. I haven't had many issues with OT anyway. What is your approach?

    I really appreciated reading this as I just tried recording my first screencastify minilecture yesterday and found it really challenging! One tip that I got from this that I will try is to put the recording in EdPuzzle so that I can put in some comprehension checks!
  •  
    I found this to be a very informative and helpful article with lots of practical suggestions and useful links. I wish I had read this before I tried to make videos with Screencast-o-Matic for my classes this past Spring. I could have used his suggestions! I will definitely be referring to it when I begin to make videos for my classes this fall. I too liked how he put his video into EdPuzzle to increase student interactivity. Thanks for sharing it!
  •  
    Hey this is really useful. I have a feeling that I'm going to be using screencasts often as I convert all my teaching to online in the fall. It will be most useful for grammar explanation types of lessons. It looks like it is just what is needed to fill that need for personal explanations that the students want. I prefer interactive worksheets but I get the feeling students don't like them as much as I do.
  •  
    Thank you for sharing! This will come in handy as I'm prepping for hybrid teaching this fall.
  •  
    I used Screencast-o-matic for sharing my presentation while creating a video and it was a great program. Kaltura is also a great way to create presentations.

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.

      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!

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?...
