"A super quick introduction into using the excellent Google Forms. You can quickly create surveys, questionnaires and even comprehension questions. You can then share the link or embed your questions. The data is automatically created into graphs and forms when the participants answer the quesitons. A really useful tool for any teacher or students that I have made massive use of. If you are looking to quickly collect together some data and then see all the results presented to you automatically, then this is great. Students can create surveys for other students in the class, teachers can collect feedback and even use Google Forms for formative assessment." R. Stannard
This is a great cheat-sheet for teachers. There are also links to other subject areas. I can easily imagine adapting questions to flipped classes, to younger age groups, to discussion sessions.
Covers Piktochart and Canva, with accompanying video tutorials. Teachers can design a graph to show what they are teaching, and/or students can show their understanding after a lesson.
R. Stannard provides information on how to set up and manage a course online or flipped, using Edmodo.
The activities include hyperlinking documents, a gallery walk with QR codes, sharing documents and pictures related to readings, connecting with other classes around the world, etc. Has ideas for kindergartners as well as teens and adults. Drawing and maps projects as well.
"Students use PeerWise to create and to explain their understanding of course related assessment questions, and to answer and discuss questions created by their peers."
Register yourself as teacher and then sign in your students. Instructors easily view student participation. The site has screencasts to show what students do and what instructors think about their work.
"Formative assessment: you've heard about it, you've read the research, and you've probably tried it out in your classroom.
"Whether you're a formative assessment newbie or a veteran, these techniques can help spice up how you check for understanding in the classroom. They range from the classics, like exit slips, to ideas you may have never thought to try.
"This post was inspired by Todd Finley’s big, printable list, "53 Ways To Check For Understanding"."
Interesting ideas for formative assessment that also involve the students in their own assessment.
"A community of scientists, engineers, and children, creating together.'
The site offers videos in a number of STEMS areas, and shows children how to build, e.g., a honeycomb structure, a wind-powered pump, a waterwheel, etc. This is an interesting way to get students interested in invention and engineering.
A mirror site so that those who cannot receive YouTube can view these amazing videos from MIT for kids K-12. All about everything.
Good advice on how to use video, prepare your students, deal with students who don't engage or don't do the homework. Use embedded Google Form or questions in the video itself. Hold kids accountable. Tips and techniques also on how to prepare your videos for homework.
"What I like the most about this chart is the fact that it emphasizes the social and affective component in learning, something which is often overlooked in today’s digitally-focused learning paradigms. These mechanical skill-based and market-oriented paradigms reduce students to ‘cheerful robots’ and view pedagogy as ‘merely a skill, technique, or disinterested method’ to teach pre specified subject matter' (Giroux, 2011). Instead, education should be viewed as an important locomotive not only for gainful employment but also for ‘creating the formative culture of beliefs, practices, and social relations that enable individuals to wield power, learn how to govern, and nurture a democratic society that takes equality, justice, shared values, and freedom seriously.(Kindle Location, 67 from "On Critical Pedagogy")." The checklist is also quite short.
Another site where teachers have posted videos of teaching. Very useful for flipped classrooms, though the focus is on maths and sciences.
R. Byrne: "Code Maven and Game Maven are interactive programming tutorials from Crunchzilla. Code Maven and Game Maven use the same style as the popular Code Monster javascript programming tutorial. That style is to present a piece of code with instructions on one side of the screen while providing a visual of the outcome on the other side of the screen."
Students can learn how to program at their own pace. Great for teens into gaming -- or those who might like to be.
10 Ways teachers can get their students to connect to each other and to the content. Brief description of lessons and their purposes.
R. Stannard shows how to use Fotobabble, which allows you to upload a picture and then add voice. Great for language practice/learning.
R. Stannard explains some of the resources at the Video For All website.
About 50 ways to show how video can be used in the classroom for learning/teaching language skills, culture, assessment, etc. Also divided by European standards proficiency levels and by age/school class.
It's suprisingly easy to search for images by type, size, color, and copyright-free. This training video (5 min) by R. Stannard shows you how to do it.
This might be a good site for self-study or additional work. Offered in a variety of L1 languages.
