Learning2gether Episode 282
On Monday, July 13, Vance and Bobbi appeared at the British Council Amigo Center at 12:30 GMT to hear what Chris Fry had to say about Story Recording. The event was webcast live from Barcelona. Here we are setting up for it:
Chris Fry is a long-time Webhead in Action, part of the original group in 2002. We had never met f2f but he still lives in Barcelona where he and Vance met to discuss with his work with students Story Recording, a project Chris has been working on over the last few years, and posting about it on his blog here: http://onewaytotefl.blogspot.com.es/ . He is planning to present on this topic at an ELT conference at the British Council in Barcelona at the end of September and again to colleagues at the start of October. This unique Learning2gether session previews these later talks and was webcast live from the British Council, Barcelona Amigó Centre.

Chris’s students recorded themselves in class every day for this course, usually re-telling a story. Some of them also recorded themselves out of class (see for example http://onewaytotefl.blogspot.com.es/2014/07/how-best-can-technology-help-students.html). Here are some sample recordings; i.e.
- His star student in a pre-intermediate course, who recorded herself about 270 times over 30 weeks!
https://www.ipadio.com/channels/e27ebf0dcd5c58/rss - A student from an intermediate group: https://www.ipadio.com/channels/e478b80ccd5c4c/rss (210 recordings over 30 weeks)
- Another who has done two consecutive courses with him and has made 430 recordings over about 50 weeks!

In this presentation, he compares his research this year with findings from the year before in an attempt to measure the effects of the small changes made based on his analysis of his first year results. which he’ll be putting on his blog http://onewaytotefl.blogspot.com.es/ and on his teachers’ portfolio at work.

Nellie Deutsch 5:10 PM
Have you considered using badges?
My students love badges. I use Makewaves: http://makewav.es
Maria Colussa 5:14 PM
badges awarding in Edmodo is very easy
Rita Zeinstejer 5:17 PM
thanks for the link, Nellie, will try Makewaves
Maria Colussa 5:18 PM
I have never heard of makewaves before, thanks Nellie
Nellie Deutsch 5:18 PM
What about peer review? Was it mentioned?
Maria Colussa 5:18 PM
I don´t think so N
Nellie Deutsch 5:18 PM
Make Waves is amazing.
Rita Zeinstejer 5:19 PM
how do you integrate it, Nellie?
Nellie Deutsch 5:19 PM
I try to involve students in peer evaluation.
Rita, Make Waves has a great support system. It’s K-12 now but will be for higher education in September. I suggest you
contact them for further information.
Rita Zeinstejer 5:20 PM
great, Nellie, thanks
Nellie Deutsch 5:21 PM
I can also help, Rita. Contact me and I will walk you through it.
Rita Zeinstejer 5:21 PM
thank you so much, Nellie!
Maria Colussa 5:23 PM
I´d love to explore badges too, I´ve used credly but it requires awardees to register and they are not “portable”, that
is not a good idea, I ´ve found Mozilla very difficult to grasp, my brain has not adjusted to it yet 😉
Rita Zeinstejer 5:23 PM
podcasting is great
Nellie Deutsch 5:24 PM
I used to use Podomatic
Robert Wachman joined group chat.
Rita Zeinstejer 5:25 PM
me too, Nellie, it keeps being great, very user friendly
Nellie Deutsch 5:25 PM
Sorry, https://www.podomatic.com
Rita Zeinstejer 5:25 PM
just a mic needed and stds’ voices are out
and having a blog format, it’s very useful for group work
Robert Wachman left group chat.
Nellie Deutsch 5:28 PM
I like movenotes
https://www.movenote.com
Rita Zeinstejer 5:29 PM
is it also a kind of hosting place for recordings?
Nellie Deutsch 5:30 PM
Yes, so true, Rita.
I thought Edmodo was more for kids than adults. Is that true?
I minute is long for many students.
Rita Zeinstejer 5:33 PM
I’ve used Edmodo with advanced stds, I think it’s quite adaptable
Nellie Deutsch 5:33 PM
Does pointing students to mistakes, help them improve?
Comparison might work
“Are you listening me?” is a mistake that I find hard to change in Spanish speakers.
Rita Zeinstejer 5:38 PM
YES!, Nellie, true!
Nellie Deutsch 5:38 PM
I have commented with are you listening to me as a response, but it never works. “(
Journal writing helps because you never criticize.
me 5:39 PM
🙂
Nellie Deutsch 5:40 PM
Yes, some people are stingy with compliments.
Learning a foreign language helps teachers understand language learners.
Maria Colussa 5:41 PM
Hey, Rita, are you going to FAAPI?
Nellie Deutsch 5:42 PM
some shy students open up in a foreign language
Rita Zeinstejer 5:42 PM
no, Maria, Im probably going to Dublin in October 😉
Nellie Deutsch 5:43 PM
I was in Dublin last year, Rita
Maria Colussa 5:43 PM
oh, ok enjoy your trip then and I hope to see you again soon!
Rita Zeinstejer 5:43 PM
