    Do you know what the most powerful tool is in the classroom?
  • Anna Kron on 12 Oct 15
     
    I agree, the most powerful tool in our classroom is the Internet (as long as you have tools in your classroom that can utilize it). I thought this post wonderfully and concisely explained the way teachers' roles need to change in the classroom. We are no longer the sole holders of knowledge; everyone has the capability to retrieve information, they just have to learn how to access and use it. I think this post would be useful to show to teachers who are stuck and do not want to give up control of their classroom to the "organized chaos" the article describes. The TED talk included at the end of the article was wonderful as well!

Teacher Beliefs and Practices in Advanced Spanish Classrooms - Center for World Languages - 1 views

shared by Lorena Harger on 12 Oct 15 - No Cached
  • This paper examines university instructors’ beliefs and practices concerning interaction in advanced Spanish courses with heritage and non-heritage students.
  • As they begin to look for the appropriate Spanish class, Latino students may need to go through some kind of placement test or interview, especially if they have a low level of proficiency in Spanish. A growing number of universities may offer the opportunity for Latino students to take courses within a program for foreign language (FL) students, heritage learners (HL), bilingual students, Spanish Native Speakers (SNS), etc.
  • Teacher beliefs constitute one of the dimensions of teacher cognition, an inclusive concept for the complexity of teachers' mental lives (Borg 2003a) which has become a well-established area of analysis in second language (L2) teaching and learning.

  • Our goal should be to find a tool that allows students to interact in an open-ended and creative way about topics of interest and relevance to them.
  • The parameters of the interaction need to be established ahead of time by the teacher as well as the expected level of participation and interaction of the students. As engaged as your students might be in the activity, there is no escaping that this is a course assignment or requirement which may hinder open communication and could dampen some enthusiasm
  • In a K–12 setting, it is a good idea to get your principal’s permission before using social media with your classes in any capacity. For minors, it also makes sense to get permission from your students’ parents. They want to know what you are doing in class and, for the most part, will be as excited as the students.

  • Getting up to speed with the variety of technologies that make sense for you and your classes may take some time and patience. If you are not as technologically adept as you would like to be, remember your students’ experiences learning language in your class. It is only through practice, and trial and error, that you gain technological proficiency.

  • Teachers who are interested in shifting their classrooms often don’t know where to start.
  • Sometimes you may not understand why certain things aren’t working. Ask your students. I’m often surprised by how much they know and how adept they are at articulating what they need.

    Designing a classroom for 21st century learning
  • Lorena Harger on 12 Oct 15
     
    This is a great resource to help teachers in the initiative of creating a leaner-centered classroom. The first week back to work, teachers and administrators in the district watched a video about the power of belief - mindset and success. This resource is mostly for teachers but it can positively affect students and their learning success. A similar resource that should be considered is the mindset works website: http://www.mindsetworks.com/. This site explains the science behind the concept of the growth mindset and explains the role of teachers, administrators, students and parents.
