Five Best Language Learning Tools - 0 views

  • Anki, Japanese for "memorizing," is a flashcard program that's been around for years
  • Because it's a flashcard style program, its focus is on memorization. It'll display you a word, phrase, image, or even play a sound, and then leave it to you to make the connection, repeat it, interpret it, and commit it to memory. Anki is great for languages, but it's also useful for studying equations, diagrams, names and faces, and more—its strength is in the fact that you can load it up with custom card sets depending on what it is you want to memorize.
  • Anki is free

  • Basically, what happens (is there is) a real-world problem that’s presented to the students, and they go through a process to solve this,” he said. “In this case, the 4K teacher at Vesper needed help teaching her kids what they can expect to see in kindergarten.”
  • The children used several ways to prepare their short and sweet presentations, including ways posters can be made by hand and online, using an educational program called Glogster.“They used Twitter to communicate with another kindergarten class in Texas, and we talked about our similarities and differences,” Novinska said. “It’s kind of the new way of having pen pals.”

What Can We Learn From the Global Effort Around Mobile Learning? | MindShift - 0 views

  • Vosloo says even phones that only have texting (SMS) and calling functions can be useful for learning. “The main thing to remember is not that we’re going to deliver a whole textbook or learning experience by SMS,” he said. “The idea is what does SMS do well?” UNESCO has used texts to send reminders, for school administration purposes or to send small bits of content to students.
  • Another program called BBC Janala in Bangladesh taught English to adults with audio. Students would call a number, listen to a three minute audio lesson and leave a message. The program used voice recognition software and texting for assessment. Again, a deal with the telecommunications provider kept the calls low cost.
