FlipGrid Tutorial - YouTube - 2 views

  •  
    FlipGrid tutorial that helped to walk me through setting up different topics for students to participate in.
  •  
    I so needed this!
  •  
    It seems somewhat self-explanatory, but by watching the tutorial I came up with a few ideas that would not have otherwise come up. Among them, I can use FG as a scaffolding activity to match student progress over the course of a quarter or semester. It offers a few features that could appropriately match this growth-- I can write a prompt with an image, video, video + link. Anyway, I can see now more clearly how to FG can be a great resource for my classroom.

How to Use Google Slides in the Classroom - The Tech Edvocate - 1 views

  • Third, teachers can encourage collaborative learning in a number of ways with Google Slides. An assignment could be designed so that each student creates their own slides; once combined into one presentation, students can learn from each other. Or, small groups can collaborate on one slide presentation in real-time and then present their slides to the class, allowing for an engaging student presentation.

      I took this idea for my lesson. I would like to add a piece with Pear Deck or Poll Everywhere to augment it. I have seen both apps used, but have never used them myself.
  •  
    This is a great idea for using with Poll Everywhere. Thanks for sharing!
  •  
    Thanks! I used GS so much this past year, and yet did not use it deliberately to encourage collaboration and community-building. This gives me great ideas.

Vocaroo - 0 views

  • Record an audio welcome message and put it on your blog (or wiki or web page.) Elementary students can practice their oral reading skills. You could even post them on your blog for parents and grandparents to hear. Each day have one student record “what we did in school today” and post it on your blog. Students in a foreign language class could record words or phrases and then email them to their teacher. Left your students with a substitute? Record a message to encourage your students to be on their best behavior!

      I used Vocaroo this week-- a simple app and easy to use that can fulfill a variety of needs for the classroom. I thought I could share some here with you...I am drawn to the second point about practicing and recording reading out loud. This past year with my elementary students, I found a great need to improve their understanding of sounds in Spanish, as well as building their confidence as "speakers" of the language. This gives me an opportunity to work on this issue further this upcoming year.

Improving 21st-Century Competencies: From Classroom Practice to System Change - Global ... - 1 views

  • An exploration of perceptions of candidate teachers for the new school revealed that while they understood the importance of supporting student competency development, they were less clear on implementation. Therefore, the team has focused on strategies for teacher development. Teachers traveled abroad to observe competency-based education practices. These trips enhanced teacher mindsets about the value of competency-based learning, but teachers' monthly reflections revealed remaining gaps in confidence to implement these methods.

      I am glad to know that teachers in Japan are trying to integrate competency-based approach into their teaching even though it is in a private school.

VoiceThread - About - Digital Library - 2 views

  • Interactive tutorials made with VoiceThread ask students to practice what they learn outside of class, so the instructor can observe their practice, respond with feedback, or modify classroom teaching to address students' needs.
    • atsukofrederick
       
      This is a good example activity that I can adapt to use VT in a flipped classroom. I have started to see lots of potential in this tool.
  • Using a bilingual dictionary correctly is an important skill for nearly all language students, and this tutorial aims to help students understand how to use a dictionary well.
    • norikofujiokaito
       
      This is a good idea!

Integrating Digital Technology in an Intensive, Fully Online College Course f... - 5 views

      If the online course is conducted at the upper-level, these results might be different.
  •  
    The development of distance learning courses for less commonly taught languages (LCTLs) often meets with instructional challenges, especially for Asian LCTLs with their distinct non-Roman characters and structures. This study documents the implementation of a fully online, elementary Japanese course.

Flipping my Spanish Classroom: Beginning of the Year Assessments with Google Forms - 9 views

  • I loved that the Google Form gathered all of the responses together so I could look at student answers all together to see if their answers were a pattern of things that none of them learned, or if it was just a few students that needed review.
    • effeinstein
       
      I like this idea for pre-assessments and I wonder how it would work for the actual assessments too. Has anyone tried google forms for testing?
    • smuske
       
      I have used it for formative tests that go in the "participation" category. I like being able to look at the results immediately so I can give the class immediate feedback.
  • I am armed with some knowledge of the classes overall abilities as well as some individual struggles so I can help specific students one-on-one. I have adjusted some of my review activities to better focus on what students need to work on.
    • cwelton
       
      I've done intakes at the beginning of the year at the adv. level to see why they chose the elective and what they hope to learn, but this seems like a great way to assess 'summer attrition' at the lower levels. On it!
    • afarachnps
       
      Agreed. Last year, I asked students to use post it notes on a drawn scale that I put on the wall, to represent how much Spanish they felt they knew. A Google quiz would be a great way of doing a follow-up to this activity. Moreover, I could think of a concluding self-assessment: now that you have a better sense of how much Spanish you know, what goals can you think of for this year? I wonder if I can also use Google for a goals activity, too?

    Very interesting article. As a language teacher myself, I really can relate!

    I will try this on the second day of school which is coming up soon.
  •  
    @effeinstein Yes, all of my vocabulary quizzes are on Google Forms and I use GF extensively for gathering reflections pre-post units, post field trips, in general, anytime I need to gather data from students about what we are working on-- Sometimes I collect their emails, other times anonymous, if I feel that I might gather more frank feedback that way-- The spreadsheet of data is nice to look over when considering how well something went, or to make tweaks for the next iteration of work. I can also pull quotes for presentations to faculty and families, or in writing narrative reports-- Also makes grading quick and easy-- Sometimes I print out the quizzes for quick one on one feedback for students--
  •  
    It is also a great tool for getting feedback from the students.

Seven Ways to Use Google Docs to Support Bilingual Student Writers | EdSurge News - 0 views

  • Even though some of my students may not have regular access to a computer at home, they can access Google Docs from anywhere, including their phones.
    • cwelton
       
      This is an important factor for me when I am thinking about integrating a web-based technology--my students all have very different levels of access, so I want to be as inclusive as possible of their various capacities to engage.
  • students also know I will look at the “Editing History” to hold them each accountable.
    • cwelton
       
      Really important to high schoolers!
  • With Google Docs, they can quickly find the right word for their writing with Google Translate.
    • cwelton
       
      or through a technology like ReadLang...it's interesting to think about integrating Google-based platforms with other web-based tech
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • What’s more important is that I can provide feedback without drawing dark red lines across their writing, an experience that can be discouraging to many writers (including myself). Instead, we use Comments, Editing, or Suggesting to provide less invasive feedback; we can also share audio feedback right in the document using Kaizena, a Google Doc add-on. Students can receive immediate feedback multiple times throughout the writing process--and I don’t have worry about dragging stacks of paper home!
    • cwelton
       
      I'm curious to look at this Kaizena...in addition to commenting/suggesting, I also use colors to clarify my edits for students (I do this on paper, too)--different colors represent different kinds of errors, for example, purple means there is an error or lack of clarity in vocabulary choice, red means the verb is misconjugated, etc.
