    This article from The Guardian discusses the impact of the government decision to lower the requirements for learning a world language based on the belief that, once the England leaves the EU, other languages won't be necessary. Essentially their equivalent of the Education Department is changing back to more extensive requirements so that by 2025 90% of students will be studying a language again.

    An interesting (if somewhat dated) case study that explores how multiple social media platforms can be integrated into a language curriculum. I found some of the diagrams, notably "Bloom's Digital Taxonomy," to be particularly useful.

    • jenniferacarr
       
      Thanks for sharing this. I'm glad to see an article that takes a data-driven approach to assessing classroom SM use.
  •  
    A great article by Lara Lomicka which discusses the role of Twitter in an intermediate French class, in which students tweeted weekly with each other and with native French speakers. I think adding collaboration with native French speakers brings new potential uses to Twitter.

4 Solid Strategies for Teaching French in the Modern Classroom | FluentU French Educato... - 2 views

  • A flipped classroom reverses traditional teaching methods: The learners get the topic and recorded material online at home, while class time is devoted to doing exercises and discussing the topic. This will enable you as a teacher to devote more time to problem areas.
    • jenniferacarr
       
      This suggests the extent to which the success of a flipped classroom depends on the effective use of technology. In the context of flipped lessons, technology actually facilitates face-to-face interactions.
  •  
    A helpful article by Hilda Thomas, published on FluentU. Thomas provides a comprehensive list of online tools that can be used in the language classroom, some of which will be familiar to you from Koning's article. She also suggests resources for teachers interested in flipping their classrooms.

Five Ways to Use Twitter in the World Language Classroom - The FLTMAG - 7 views

  • they use their comfort and skills with social media to connect students with the content area on a deeper level.
    • nataliemcruz
       
      This is a great goal. Students will watch ridiculous Vines for hours, so how can we replace that with something that stimulates their intellect?
  • help students keep tabs on their upcoming assignments and assessments
    • nataliemcruz
       
      This seems like a lot of work, especially because my students have plan sheets - but I think I could do this for the big things :)
  • I use Twitter as a way to provide practice during the days leading to macro-assessments, by providing sample test items, as well as study tips.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • I provide the correct answer (present indicative or infinitive) in the form of a comment on the same tweet. This gives students who follow the Twitter feed and receive notifications an opportunity to quiz themselves in real time.
  • Students who do not have a Twitter account can go to my school website and follow along with the embedded stream.
    • nataliemcruz
       
      I didn't know you could do that, glad there is a way to bypass individual accounts
    • jenniferacarr
       
      I didn't know you could do that either. I wonder if students without accounts would still be disadvantaged, though, since they wouldn't receive notifications in real time...
  • In both cases, students understand that I am paying attention and rewarding their efforts and attention to detail, and feel that their hard work is being recognized.
  • There is great power in positive reinforcement
  • I ask permission first
  • For the students who provided the work, this is a great motivator to keep the high-quality work flowing, while for the other students, it serves as an example of good work.
    • nataliemcruz
       
      I'd be careful with praise meaning, give it - but make sure all students get praised . . . even less stellar students for their small achievements
  • my view of the textbook is that it should be a resource for learning, not as a primary source
    • nataliemcruz
       
      Yes - textbook as reference book

30 creative ways to use Padlet for teachers and students - BookWidgets - 9 views

  • Let your students answer some important exit ticket questions like “what did you learn today?”, “What didn’t you understand?” or “What questions do you still have?”.It gets better…Here are some other exit ticket promts your students could answer: Write down three things you learned today. If you had to explain today’s lesson to a friend, what would you tell him/her? What question do you have about what we learned today? What part of the lesson did you find most difficult? What would you like me to go over again next lesson? Write down two questions you would put in a quiz about today’s lesson. What were the main points we covered today? Did the group activity contribute to your understanding of the topic? Why? Read this problem … What would be your first step in solving it? I used app X extensively today. Was it helpful? Why or why not?
  • Complete the storyCreate a story and ask students how it should continue. Students can post their ideas on the Padlet. Finally, take some of your students' ideas and complete the story. You’ll have some funny stories!
  • What is Padlet?
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • Padlet can be used by students and by teachers. With padlet you can create an online post-it board that you can share with any student or teacher you want. Just give them the unique Padlet link. Padlet allows you to insert ideas anonymously or with your name. It’s easy to use and very handy.
  • Whoever has the Padlet board opened on his smartphone or computer, can see what’s on it and what everyone is writing. Students just have to take a device and start adding little sticky notes online. They can see all the ideas gathered on the teacher board immediately.
    • pamh6832
       
      Clear description of what Padlet is and how to use it.
  • Sharing a Padlet board is easy; choose for a QR code or a link.
  • Let your students insert the link in the browser or in the Padlet app. They can ‘continue as guest’ so they just have to scan the qr code with the Padlet app or type in the URL, without creating an account. Shortly after, they will be directed to your first Padlet board.
  • How to post things on Padlet? Well, there are a few ways to do this: double click anywhere on the board; drag files in; paste from clipboard; save as bookmark with Padlet mini; or just click the ‘+’ button in the lower right corner.
  • 2. Live question bank Let your students ask questions during the lesson. It’s very handy when students don’t understand something or need a better explanation. Stop your lesson 10 minutes early and go over the questions. This way students who are afraid to ask questions can still ask their questions anonymously. It gives a voice to every student in the room, even to the shy ones.
    • pamh6832
       
      A good way to help ensure student engagement and comprehension. Similar to the "Chat" feature on Zoom.
  • 14. Prior knowledge Try to figure out what students already know about the topic you’re about to teach. What prior knowledge do your students have about that particular topic and what don’t they know? Students just post their knowledge on Padlet, so you can see how to build your lesson.
    • pamh6832
       
      For reviewing previous year information. Always important, but perhaps even more so after Spring 2020 and distance learning.
  • 23. Geocaching For physical exercises, students have to go walking more. Let you students do some geocaching and let them post pictures of themselves and the treasure to the Padlet board. It will encourage the others to find the treasures as well.

Why Teachers And Students Should Blog: 18 Benefits of Educational Blogging - 3 views

  • let’s explore why blogging has lasted while other tools have come and gone.The simple reason is, a blog is more than a tool. It’s anything you want it to be. A blog is a blank canvas and a virtual home for you to set up however you like.Blogs are simply websites. The only real difference between a blog and a traditional website is that it is generally updated more frequently and usually offers interaction in the form of comments.
    • jenniferacarr
       
      Morris highlights an interesting tech tradeoff: the simpler a tool is, the more versatile it can be. As she points out, blogs are just frequently-updated websites, and yet they've managed to outlast other online tools because of their relative flexibility.
