2 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:00 PM | Hi everyone! Welcome to #langchat | ||
3 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:01 PM | Tonight we are discussing online tools and how they support our instruction and student engagement! #langchat | ||
4 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:02 PM | First question I have is who is here and is your school still in session? #langchat | ||
5 | jjezuit | 6/14/2012 | 5:03 PM | Julie from IL and my school is done for the summer. #langchat | ||
6 | SECottrell | 6/14/2012 | 5:03 PM | I'll be participating in #langchat sporadically tonight from my iPod while managing a toddler & newborn - ¡Ay! | ||
7 | CoLeeSensei | 6/14/2012 | 5:04 PM | Colleen from Vancouver and we are in classes until June 19 - and congrats on the safe delivery @SECottrell #langchat | ||
8 | nickithompson | 6/14/2012 | 5:04 PM | @placido I'm here tonight! My school got out a week ago #summer #langchat | ||
9 | SECottrell | 6/14/2012 | 5:05 PM | #langchat here in KY we have been out almost 3 weeks | ||
10 | jjezuit | 6/14/2012 | 5:06 PM | One tool my students love is Edmodo. They of course completely relate to the similarities to Facebook. #langchat | ||
11 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:06 PM | So, does anyone want to start out with their favorite online resource that really gets students engaged? #langchat | ||
12 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:06 PM | I'm enjoying my first week of summer but busily preparing for upcoming summer conferences already! #langchat | ||
13 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:07 PM | @jjezuit I'm hoping to use @edmodo next year. What do you like best about it? #langchat | ||
14 | tonitheisen | 6/14/2012 | 5:07 PM | learning the personal impact of Facebook and Twitter as we receive updates and important info from fires around our city in CO #langchat | ||
15 | CoLeeSensei | 6/14/2012 | 5:07 PM | @jjezuit I am keen to use Edmodo next year for more than discussions and communicating..#langchat | ||
16 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:08 PM | Have any of you used the Rich Internet Applications from CLEAR? http://t.co/gWJDOcsD #langchat | ||
17 | SECottrell | 6/14/2012 | 5:08 PM | #langchat for me, to engage students, tool must be 1 of 2 things. It has to require students to create, or at least require involvement | ||
18 | jjezuit | 6/14/2012 | 5:09 PM | All of the students can get involved and reply to each other, not just me. @placido @CoLeeSensi #langchat | ||
19 | tonitheisen | 6/14/2012 | 5:09 PM | @placido I have used them lots. I attended one of their workshops, too. They keep improving. excellent #langchat | ||
20 | trescolumnae | 6/14/2012 | 5:09 PM | @placido Justin in southeastern NC, where school ended last Friday for students, yesterday for teachers #langchat | ||
21 | esantacruz13 | 6/14/2012 | 5:09 PM | I'm here too... my school got out 2 weeks ago... #langchat | ||
22 | tonitheisen | 6/14/2012 | 5:09 PM | Teaching students to use tools is important. They can decide which ones they need to show learning #langchat | ||
23 | trescolumnae | 6/14/2012 | 5:10 PM | @SECottrell Agree with you completely about importance of creation. Sts do NOT like passive tools #langchat | ||
24 | tonitheisen | 6/14/2012 | 5:10 PM | Tools motivate many students #langchat | ||
25 | CoLeeSensei | 6/14/2012 | 5:10 PM | I find I use 2 sets of tools - 1 for me to make the lang. more accessible for kids and the other what they use for class #langchat | ||
26 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:10 PM | To me, the most important aspect of an online tool is that it provide comprehensible input. #langchat | ||
27 | trescolumnae | 6/14/2012 | 5:11 PM | @SECottrell Those of my sts who loved @edmodo used actively, as sharing and discussion platform. Passive consumers didn't like #langchat | ||
28 | CoLeeSensei | 6/14/2012 | 5:12 PM | i've signed up for #edmodocon in August to learn more. my sts loved the discussion aspect!! great buy-in using TL for topics #langchat | ||
29 | jjezuit | 6/14/2012 | 5:12 PM | I've used it for a word of the day. The kids constantly check Edmodo. It keeps their interest. @placido @CoLeeSensi #langchat | ||
30 | trescolumnae | 6/14/2012 | 5:13 PM | @CoLeeSensei Great idea to distinguish tools by their purpose. #langchat | ||
31 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:13 PM | My students loved visiting http://t.co/jmUB9eIF and "dressing" the model in outfit of their choice. #langchat | ||
32 | esantacruz13 | 6/14/2012 | 5:14 PM | Online tools that I use the most are GoogleSite and Blogger #langchat | ||
33 | tonitheisen | 6/14/2012 | 5:14 PM | Letting students choose a tool to show learning promte critical thinking in the decision #langchat | ||
34 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:14 PM | If you were speaking to a programmer, what would be on your wish list for future development of online tools? #langchat | ||
35 | CoLeeSensei | 6/14/2012 | 5:14 PM | from my side I use #quizlet a lot for vocab practice...#langchat | ||
36 | esantacruz13 | 6/14/2012 | 5:14 PM | How often do you use Edmodo? #langchat | ||
37 | SECottrell | 6/14/2012 | 5:14 PM | #langchat examples of tools that empower student creation in my classroom: Glogster, Prezi, twitter, PhotoPeach | ||
38 | jjezuit | 6/14/2012 | 5:14 PM | I've also used CLEAR and Lingt Language for listening/speaking practice. They are great sites. #langchat | ||
39 | MsKBatalha | 6/14/2012 | 5:15 PM | RT @TheConsultantsE: 60+ ideas for getting your students talking http://t.co/aB6CCuFl #esl #eltchat #ellchat #iatefl #langchat via @ESLlibrary @Mtranslator | ||
40 | esantacruz13 | 6/14/2012 | 5:15 PM | I'm currently creating a new site for the college class I will be teaching next fall. #langchat | ||
41 | trescolumnae | 6/14/2012 | 5:15 PM | @placido That's one primary goal for @annapmagistra and me as we build http://t.co/Zt6aeAc4 - CI, plus oppties to create #langchat | ||
42 | tonitheisen | 6/14/2012 | 5:16 PM | 4 Ways Technology Helps To Diversify Education http://t.co/8gSBj193 #langchat | ||
43 | trescolumnae | 6/14/2012 | 5:16 PM | @esantacruz13 Daily once we had a #BYOT policy in place ... sometimes just as a collection of links or assignment prompts though #langchat | ||
44 | esantacruz13 | 6/14/2012 | 5:16 PM | I would like to use Edmodo next year as well. I just need to get used to it. I dont want to overwhelm students with so many tools #langchat | ||
45 | esantacruz13 | 6/14/2012 | 5:17 PM | RT @trescolumnae: @SECottrell Agree with you completely about importance of creation. Sts do NOT like passive tools #langchat | ||
46 | SenoritaGilbert | 6/14/2012 | 5:17 PM | What do you suggest for a low-income, rural school with limited web access? (virtually zero outside of school, which is limited) #langchat | ||
47 | trescolumnae | 6/14/2012 | 5:17 PM | @tonitheisen Definitely! For creation and presentational tasks, I love to have sts choose "tool that works best for you" #langchat | ||
48 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:18 PM | @SenoritaGilbert Offer no-tech options for those for whom it is a real hardship. #langchat | ||
49 | tonitheisen | 6/14/2012 | 5:18 PM | @SenoritaGilbert start simple like wordle or wikis. They need to have the chance . #langchat | ||
50 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:18 PM | @SenoritaGilbert Give lots of time for completion! Is there a public library they could access? #langchat | ||
51 | trescolumnae | 6/14/2012 | 5:18 PM | @esantacruz13 It's very easy to use. Love the shareable folders! Quiz function fairly new and still wk in progress #langchat | ||
52 | alenord | 6/14/2012 | 5:19 PM | Another idea for in school only access is to have templates ready to be filled in. #langchat | ||
53 | CoLeeSensei | 6/14/2012 | 5:19 PM | @placido @SenoritaGilbert to do in one class use things such as wordles, or perhaps some vocab work on quizlet etc #langchat | ||
54 | nickithompson | 6/14/2012 | 5:19 PM | I use Edmodo to post HW and have students respond to posts and ask me questions. Use http://t.co/J5SEZynQ to store my resources #langchat | ||
55 | tonitheisen | 6/14/2012 | 5:19 PM | @SenoritaGilbert See if business have old computers they don't use anymore. #langchat | ||
56 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:19 PM | @SenoritaGilbert Focus on things that can be completed within the class period in the computer lab. #langchat | ||
57 | SECottrell | 6/14/2012 | 5:19 PM | @esantacruz13 one way to avoid overwhelming students is to offer choices #langchat | ||
58 | SECottrell | 6/14/2012 | 5:20 PM | #langchat If not a creation tool, it has to be something that provides *interesting* input for Ss to do something with like elcorteingles | ||
59 | trescolumnae | 6/14/2012 | 5:20 PM | @SenoritaGilbert I think the key there is tools (and tech) that sts use in "one-to-few" ways (small grp of sts sharing computer) #langchat | ||
60 | nickithompson | 6/14/2012 | 5:21 PM | @senoritagilbert I go through our Quizlet flashcards every day when learning new vocab and they say the word out loud #langchat | ||
61 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:21 PM | @SECottrell For many kids, the concept of taking a screen shot was a totally new thing! #langchat | ||
62 | SECottrell | 6/14/2012 | 5:21 PM | #langchat corporate websites (Barbie, Syarbucks, etc) are a great to get students interacting w/comprehensive language that interests them | ||
63 | tmsaue1 | 6/14/2012 | 5:21 PM | joining late tonight and don't even know the topic. good evening everyone from Arlington, TX. #aisdfl #langchat | ||
64 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:21 PM | @SECottrell When mine dressed their models at elcorteingles, they took a screen shot and then labeled it for me. #langchat | ||
65 | CoLeeSensei | 6/14/2012 | 5:21 PM | 'tools' can also be visiting a website to find information etc - those things we do to get sts to experience the lang. in action #langchat | ||
66 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:22 PM | @tmsaue1 We are talking about online resources that promote student engagement! #langchat | ||
67 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:23 PM | lingro is a great online resource that keeps students reading and not looking in the dictionary! My kids really love it! #langchat | ||
68 | carmenscoggins | 6/14/2012 | 5:23 PM | RT @tonitheisen: Tools motivate many students #langchat | ||
69 | tmsaue1 | 6/14/2012 | 5:23 PM | @placido ahh, thanks. was hoping for one of the other choices that i know very little about. #langchat | ||
70 | trescolumnae | 6/14/2012 | 5:23 PM | @placido @SECottrell Great idea! Dressing the models actually IS a form of creation, especially when combined with the labeling #langchat | ||
71 | alenord | 6/14/2012 | 5:23 PM | Music playlists are always a good resource to engage students. #langchat http://t.co/YEVyckrv | ||
72 | jjezuit | 6/14/2012 | 5:24 PM | I use Quizlet. Sts have to take the test as a pre-test before our voc quiz. They turn in the results 2 me. They have 1 wk to do it #langchat | ||
73 | SECottrell | 6/14/2012 | 5:24 PM | #langchat students can do everything from makeover their own pic to build dream car or sneaker in TL- put the power in their hands | ||
74 | trescolumnae | 6/14/2012 | 5:24 PM | @CoLeeSensei Good point! Experiencing the language AND culture together is very powerful for sts esp w LCT languages like ours! #langchat | ||
75 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:24 PM | @tmsaue1 Well, start sharing then, smartypants! :) #langchat | ||
76 | alenord | 6/14/2012 | 5:25 PM | Believe it or not, my students were unaware and amazed by Google Docs and other Apps this year. Good place to start. #langchat | ||
77 | tmsaue1 | 6/14/2012 | 5:25 PM | @placido no, i was being serious. there was a topic choice i know nothing about and was hoping to get some ideas. #langchat | ||
78 | mskbordner | 6/14/2012 | 5:25 PM | @jjezuit Hey Julie! @michellerussell would be so happy we're on #langchat! | ||
79 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:25 PM | What are some challenges that you have faced/overcome regarding online resources? #langchat | ||
80 | nickithompson | 6/14/2012 | 5:26 PM | http://t.co/HuEMeO0q is phenomenal. Not all target language content but explores target culture, stds can reflect in TL #langchat | ||
81 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:26 PM | @tmsaue1 I'm just teasing! #langchat | ||
82 | tonitheisen | 6/14/2012 | 5:27 PM | Since we have used many tools, students now find new ones and share with class. I learn lots. #langchat | ||
83 | tmsaue1 | 6/14/2012 | 5:27 PM | was there a discussion yet on what "engagement" really means? I think we use that word way too loosely in our profession. #langchat | ||
84 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:27 PM | @alenord We give kids waaay too much credit as "digital natives." We often are light years ahead of them on tech skills. #langchat | ||
85 | CoLeeSensei | 6/14/2012 | 5:27 PM | A big challenge is my district's IT dept blocks things they can't control! #langchat | ||
86 | alenord | 6/14/2012 | 5:28 PM | @placido It's like I heard recently, they are great consumers, but poor producers when it comes to tech. #langchat | ||
87 | tonitheisen | 6/14/2012 | 5:28 PM | @CoLeeSensei We had that, but as a district we advocted an send them lots of examples. Worked nothing blocked. #langchat | ||
88 | mskbordner | 6/14/2012 | 5:28 PM | @tmsaue1 good point! sometimes people say "engagement" but mean "completion" #langchat | ||
89 | nickithompson | 6/14/2012 | 5:28 PM | @placido Challenges: Comp labs and laptops not being available at school, students don't have access at home, refuse to go to lib #langchat | ||
90 | jjezuit | 6/14/2012 | 5:28 PM | @CoLeeSensei Same here. I have to have sites from other countries unblocked. Forgot 2 do that w/a proj this year. #langchat | ||
91 | CoLeeSensei | 6/14/2012 | 5:28 PM | @alenord I think we overestimate what they know how to use - and we often have to tech the tool as well as the project! #langchat | ||
92 | tmsaue1 | 6/14/2012 | 5:28 PM | @placido "digital natives" is such a myth. they are "learning natives". #langchat | ||
93 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:28 PM | @CoLeeSensei Yes, I communicate with tech dept frequently. They unblock things for me. They know I won't shut up until they do. #langchat | ||
94 | tonitheisen | 6/14/2012 | 5:29 PM | @CoLeeSensei We also found out that it takes more bandwidth to block items and to use them. that was eyeopener to IT. #langchat | ||
95 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:29 PM | @tmsaue1 Not the same as "busy" or "quiet!" #langchat | ||
96 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:29 PM | RT @tmsaue1 was there a discussion yet on what "engagement" really means? ...we use that word way too loosely in our profession. #langchat | ||
97 | CoLeeSensei | 6/14/2012 | 5:30 PM | @tmsaue1 are they 'engaged' in the process or learning or in 'using' the tool - a good thing to consider #langchat | ||
98 | alenord | 6/14/2012 | 5:30 PM | @tonitheisen That is really interesting, Toni! #langchat | ||
99 | tmsaue1 | 6/14/2012 | 5:30 PM | @tonitheisen tell me more about the bandwidth issue. would love to be able to share that with district folks #langchat | ||
100 | placido | 6/14/2012 | 5:30 PM | Student engagement is not the same as "busy" or "quiet!" What does engagement mean to us? #langchat |
