ISTE | Digital Storytelling Guide for Educators By Midge Frazel - 1 views

  •  
    Storytelling is an age-old art form. With Web 2.0 and the tools already available on most computers, students can use text, music, sound effects, videos, and more to create a multimedia presentation that links them to the world beyond the classroom. Storytelling has the potential to unleash creativity, engage, and motivate. Applicable across the curriculum, digital storytelling teaches students to work collaboratively and use new technologies, skills they will be required to have in the workforce of the future. This book offers an overview of digital storytelling as well as its variations, including e-portfolios, digital photo essays, and scrapblogs. The many recommendations, overviews, and explanations of digital storytelling tools, along with lists of additional digital storytelling resources, will help educators to apply this exciting technology in their classrooms. Educators will also discover the ways digital storytelling can be used for their own professional development. Digital Storytelling Guide for Educators provides detailed directions to preparation, production, and presentation, and rounds out with a discussion on creating rubrics and evaluating student work. Readers will come away with an understanding of digital stories and the tools needed to create them.

Using texts | frenchteacher.net - 0 views

  • Apart from being a source of reading, structures and vocabulary, the text is a starting point for grammar practice, listening work, pronunciation and intonation practice and discussion. If you accept that comprehension is the source of all real second language acquisition, then reading texts is fundamental.
  • Texts need not be completely authentic. After all, they are primarily a tool for teaching the language, so you may need to adapt the source text to suit the group in front of you
  • Texts which relate to students’ own experience (leisure, new technologies, television, internet, shopping, school, film etc) can be good as they may well encourage students to talk more.
  • ...32 more annotations...
  • What to do with texts Here is a check-list of ways you can exploit texts together with a justification or comment for each task. You could add to these with your own.
  • Prepare the ground. To prepare students for the text they are going to read it is a good idea to ask a few questions or give a brief introduction to the topic.
  • Skim reading. This helps students develop their skills of reading quickly for gist or specific details.
  • Read the text aloud or play a recording of the text. This allows students to hear correct pronunciation and encourages them to read slowly and carefully since they have to go at the pace of the reader.
  • Get students to read aloud.
  • Practising intonation. Reading aloud allows the teacher to work on stress and intonation.
  • Vocabulary brainstorming. This could be done before the text is read or, better, at a later stage.
  • Filling in tables. You can design a grid or table
  • Jigsaw reading
  • look for ones where there is a clear development from one point to the next and where there are clear links from paragraph to paragraph.
  • Match headlines to paragraphs. To show grasp of meaning and structure
  • Match summaries with paragraphs.
  • “Find the French/Spanish/German for”. This simple task, best done in the early stages of looking at a text, simply involves getting students to pick out vocabulary via translation. It can be done orally, or perhaps better in writing as then all students are definitely involved in the task.
  • Bilingual vocabulary list completion.
  • Finding cognates.
  • Underlining parts of speech.
  • Questions in the target language. This is the most traditional activity of all, but one which should not be underrated. Good questioning technique (oral and written) allows the teacher to practise grammar points, vocabulary, comprehension and speaking skills.
  • Defining words or phrases.
  • Making up questions in the target language.
  • Give the answer, they make up the question.
  • Questions in English. Although this has the disadvantage of moving away from the target language, it should not be ignored. It does focus entirely on meaning and with harder texts it can be a way of getting into the text before other tasks in the target language are carried out. It is also an entirely authentic real-life task.
  • Give false statements.
  • Matching tasks.
  • Completing sentences.
  • Multiple-choice. This is a good for allowing students to show a fine grasp of meaning. Multiple choice tasks should give at least three options and can take the form of a question with three answers or a sentence start with three different completions. These are quite fun to design and can be adapted to the level of the class.
  • Gap-filling. You can blank out words, phrases or whole sentences from the original text
  • Summarising from memory.
  • Written summary in the target language.
  • Changing the point of view.
  • Dictation. This is a high level activity, but is easily adaptable to different levels. It works best with French, where the sound to orthography relationship is more difficult than with Spanish or German
  • Paired dictation. For this you give students a series of sentences of different lengths. One student has to read the shortest sentence to their partner. The partner has to repeat the sentence precisely out loud.
  • Texts may be entered into an online tool such as Textivate, where students can do a variety of text manipulation exercises.
