Learning2gether Episode 250
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:

- 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.
