12 Tips for training older teachers to use technology - Resources for English Language ... - 2 views

  •  
    There is an assumption that persists in the educational community that more mature teachers are much more difficult and reluctant to be trained on the effective use of educational technology. To some degree, I think this assumption has been built on by the digital native vs digital immigrant myth. But as someone who has trained teachers of all ages all over the world I would say that, from my own experience, this hasn't been the case.

    To anyone in this group who happens upon this note/page: I am simply experimenting with diigo and foreign language texts online. Obviously just adding traditional comprehension questions to a text with diigo's floating sticky notes is the easier part/path of least innovation. I am trying to figure out how to maximize interactivity, creativity, and personalization while also reinforcing those grammatical/vocab stepping stones which a learner needs to be able to appreciate the onus of the creativity the new-fangled teacher is laying upon them :) . Please drop comments and suggestions below!

Information Overload - 0 views

  • The debate over how we read, perpetuated largely by media insiders, is starting to seem like little more than a distraction from the real problem: We have access to more information than ever, yet we do not know what to do with it. We are desperately information-illiterate.
  • What matters is not that we are readers, but that we are critical readers.
  • Chronicle of Higher Education (Sept. 19, 2008): “Talk of a ‘digital generation’ or people who are ‘born digital’ willfully ignores the vast range of skills, knowledge, and experience of many segments of society. . . . The ethnic, national, gender, and class biases of any sort of generation talk are troubling.”

Readability analyzer - 3 views

  • Introduction Word length and phrase length influence the ease of reading and understanding of a given text. Short words are usually more common (Zipf's law). Short sentences require less abstraction ability to understand. The readability analysis could be useful to make a text better, augmenting its accessibility. Why have we developed this? The readability index tells us how easy a given text is to understand. A well-written text is effective, easy to understand and quick to read. This index helps us understand the text's complexity in order to better schedule the activities of translators and revisers. More than ever, written information, especially in the Internet, must be direct and well structured. This analysis can help achieve both goals.

Electronic translators for language learning - 0 views

  •  
    Many language students like to use electronic translators. I teach English and over the years I have watched them grow in popularity. Students love them, there is no doubt about that. Teachers are not so united. Some think they are great, and others hate them. For me, it has taken some time to befriend them, and work out how to take advantage of them in the classroom.
