On Sun Dec 28 at 1500 GMT Learning2gether were fortunate to meet with David Winet who hosted a discussion on Real World Writing about Real Things for a Real Audience

Dave’s point is that students can supplement the standard writing for teacher only by using Yelp, Rottentomatoes, DearAbby, Yahoo news, PeoplesCourt, Amazon review, and comment sections to communicate their thoughts and feelings about film, food, products, books, news stories, justice, etc. with the whole internet.  This is writing with a real purpose, not just writing as an academic exercise, and it gets students to write because they want to, not because they have to.

Contents of the show notes:

Hi and thank you for coming.  Background:  Academic bound students A little thing that gets students reading &writing about real things for real readers, and finding motivation to do it correctly as well as exposure to how it’s done by native speakers. The students can pick their own favorites, or the teacher can assign a movie, book, product, restaurant to review, etc.  In the case of movies and restaurants students can go in groups if they wish and each write his/her own review. Obviously this is fun to go somewhere together and then compare reviews. After-class benefit and tie-in would be getting other students in the class to try a given restaurant or movie based on the review.  A chance to bond!

Caveat: some students are not ready for the real world.  A mix is best of standard essays and this stuff.  Students must have the option to get their work corrected and the structure right before they post.  A more serious or higher level class should have a short lecture and templates from the teacher to help structure a good review.

Places you can do this:

1. Amazon -product reviews
2. Rottentomatoes -movie reviews; TV series reviews
3. Yahoo news  -current events
4. Yelp -restaurant reviews        -service provider reviews
5. Gamespot -Videogame reviews
6. Youtube -Music, album reviews
7. Ratemyprofessor -Teachers, Schools (for the brave only)
8. Tripadvisor, Virtualtourist  -Tourist venues, places to visit, things to avoid or watch out for.
9. Dear Abby (uexpress.com/dearabby) -Give advice to the lovelorn and such
10. People’s Court (video) -Decide Cases1
11. Yahoo Answers -How to’s, Food recipes
12. Wikipedia
13. Ted.com

What the students get:

A. Passive learning

1. practice reading up to date English – often with colloquialisms
2. exposure to American culture (often in all its ugliness)
3. exposure to examples of intelligent and less intelligent discussions and expositions
4. learning about movies, restaurants and services they can actually use in real life.

B. Active learning1

1. Writing about things that matter to them (movies, restaurants, current events, products)
2. Using other people’s submissions as (good and bad) examples, writing well structured mini-essays (movie, restaurant reviews)
3. Presenting non-American viewpoints and contributing to the general knowledge in that way.

Discussion:

1. Do you do anything like this in your classes?
2. Do you think such writing might detract from learning more formal academic writing?
3. Is there a risk in having students interact with people out in the wide world?4
4. Have you ever written a review? Would you?  Why/why not?  If you did, what did you review?  What did you touch on?  Did anyone react?5
5. Other forms of real-world writing?  Letter to the President?  E-pals

Mon Dec 8 The Year in Review – Accomplishments from the Badge Alliance Community

This event has been scheduled for “2:00 ET”. It seems unlikely that this would be a 2 a.m. in a time zone that appears to be that of the organizers. Therefore, I assume 1400 ET, which would be 1900 GMT, or according my calculations below, time where you are …
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Accomplishments+from+the+Badge+Alliance+Community+&iso=20141208T14&p1=12&ah=1
(one more reason why those planning events for international audiences should give times in GMT / UTC imho)

2014 has been a landmark year for open badges. We kicked off the Badge Alliance to service the growing open badges ecosystem through action-oriented working groups and tackled salient issues collaboratively. During this live session, we’ll review the accomplishments of several of the working groups, including research, standard, endorsement, and directory. We’ll learn about the objectives each working group set out to accomplish within the 6 month cycle and the process it took in order to reach those goals. This session is intended to be collabortive and we invite the audience to engage with questions and feedback.

To join the live sessions, please use the Blackboard Collaborate Web Conference link: http://tinyurl.com/OpenBadgesCollaborate

And as always, we look forward to your ongoing participation in the Open Badges MOOC! You are welcome to continue to use the MOOC resources (badges.coursesites.com) and submit challenge assignments for review by our experts. You’ll also find an extremely useful set of resources on the Reconnect Learning site.

On Sun Dec 7 Learning2gether is spending time with Ryan Buchanan talking about tablet technology for teachers, in a presentation subtitled:

“Why’s and How’s of My Desire to Get on the Other Side of My Students’ Screens” or “Making Students’ Digital Interface Work: App Flashcards”

Ryan writes: Let’s talk about getting on the important side – the “looked-at” side – of the students’ devices.  I offer suggestions that I act on to make learning more attractive for my Saudi Digital Natives using Quizlet & other great apps.

This is a flipped presentation!

Please preview my Quick Quizlet Prezi below – four short (less than 3 minutes each) YouTubes introducing the app with step-by-step creation & a sample of lesson delivery.

Show Notes:

Ryan had planned a flipped presentation where he presented material he wanted to discuss beforehand and provided the links above. During the conversation, we went (as you would in a truly flipped classroom) into the philosophical issues of digital natives and immigrants and how wrong it is to make them park their networks at the door of the classroom and not bring them in. Thus the conversation went on to the teaching philosophy that would incorporate these networks and accompanying devices into the classroom with the result that we flipped the presentation even further as something we didn’t actually get to but for later, people could look at the following links, shared during the conversation:

• It’s a book, by Lane Smith- http://youtu.be/x4BK_2VULCU
• Some were interested in contrasting engaging students with mobile technologies with the interactive activities that Robert Wachman, one of our participants, developed decades ago (with Larry Staten) as part of LAEI (Live Action English Interactive). In the chat, Robert directed us to cpli.net, which is the website for Command Performance Language Institute.  Here’s a link to a movie showing how a whole unit works.  Unfortunately, one can’t actually do it themselves online, just see how it works.  They are looking into creating an app for the software, but that’s still in the future.
  And here’s a link to a demo movie of a unit for the newer More Live Action English Interactive, but first one really shows the kind of exercise we were talking about: dragging an object to a window and triggering the playing of a video clip if it’s the correct object.

Throughout November -Educational Technology & Global Issues – An IATEFL LTSIG & GISIG event

An online event unlike anything you have heard before!
The IATEFL Learning Technologies SIG and Global Issues SIG are putting together an exciting month-long online event. The format will be a series of audio episodes, almost like a weekly radio show. Each episode will feature a full interview with an expert in the field of technology discussing different problematic aspects of edtech and global issues, as well as success stories of where technology is genuinely making a difference. After each episode, listeners can continue the conversation by contributing in various moderated discussions or leaving their own audio comments at our site. It promises to be an event like nothing you’ve ever heard before!
