Lots of interesting content to explore at FLTMAG. Variety of tags can help teachers find the most relevant content for their needs and interests. Here's one I found interesting: Considerations for accessible content when using the Web: 1. Reevaluating learning outcomes 2. Accessible content 3. Accessible participation and interaction with course concepts 4. Consistency 5. Flexibility

This is the place that I would recommend language educators start with. It's sort of the mothership for language education.

Good review of some advantages that come with tech use in teaching

"More and more teachers are taking to Twitter and Facebook to share ideas and strategies with peers throughout the country."

"Stephen Hersh outlines six steps for how you can create a community of active learning online if you 'use the medium.' "

Yes,Greg, Agreed, great resource!!! Will use often.

Zoom! I'm pretty sure Stephen Hersch is my neighbor! Teaches at Northwestern. "Stop talking so much!" Yes. Great take away. I saw this video when I looked up to see what TEACHx is since he's involved. Started in 2016. But this linked video https://vimeo.com/249442007 is 4 Northwestern students and how they use technology. Evidently they use Canvas as well. I want to look up want one student said about his Spanish class. But what I liked is one of the students talks about when she doesn't use technology. After having said that all her life she had never used her laptop so much, but still in class the expectation is to arrive prepared and be ready to discuss. Hersch says the same for the what is one of the best uses of Zoom... time for students to discuss. Now! How to really get them all to prepare!?

Thanks for sharing this presentation!

Excellent! Thanks for sharing this, Marlene. I'm going to re-post it for our LCTL instructors. I think it will be really useful.

Full of useful examples and websites! Will definitely try the Wheeldecide.com to make calling on students more interesting. Great discussion on keeping students engaged.

...project provides language educators with pedagogical strategies and practical suggestions for implementing social networking sites (SNSs) and social media for intercultural competence in beginner and intermediate FL courses.

Useful tech tips for the classroom, easy to listen for tips during your commute or while relaxing inthe sun.

These are great. I learned about using streamyard.com to live stream any school event to a venue, such as YouTube. This could be useful even after Covid to allow parents to be a part of events that happen at school.

I thought this episode of the 'Cult of Pedagogy' podcast provided a thorough, relatable and succinct description of differences you need to take into account when planning an online course. It was informative, but also comforting. It didn't just talk about all of the things that you MUST DO to be a good teacher online. It also discussed the social needs of teachers and students in this environment.

Found the title intriguing so I explored the site. The topics of the podcast are varied and can be as short as 15 minutes or as long as an hour.

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

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?
