Learning2gether has been on a long break while my wife and I have been focused on uprooting ourselves from the UAE, our country of residence for the past 21 years, and getting situated in a new country, Malaysia. Routine and workflow have been pretty much shattered, getting established in a new apartment and installing wifi,  while awaiting a shipment to arrive with things we couldn’t pack into suitcases, just getting around shopping and exploring on public transport and Grab, have all been insanely time consuming. 

Also we arrived on a Malaysia My Second Home visa which, when we applied for it, allowed visa holders to work part time in Malaysia, but by the time we got here that rule had been rescinded, so …

As someone who has been developing personal learning networks and training other teachers to reach each other online (through example) and (by extrapolation) their students, my thoughts for supplementing income have turned to one of the places my passion has been, and where I have been spending a lot of my spare time since the turn of the century, the online teaching environment.

It was this concatenation of recent events and the timing being right that caused me to respond to an invitation posted to the CALL-IS Community in MyTESOL on Sep 20, 2018. You’ll have to log into the website to see it, if you are a TESOL member, and then find it, but it looked like this:

If you’re a TESOL member you can see the link above to this profile: Jacqueline Vulcano
but anyone can visit the link to register, on Jacqueline’s web site: https://www.edtech4adultesl.com/

I clicked on the link to see if it was free (it was) and got the following message

Followed by a graphic giving the tools to be used

Clicking on the button gets you a dialog box where you are asked your name and email and prompted to “Download Now”. When you provide the requested information it takes you to this page

And when you check your mail you find a link where you can actually “download now” and what you get when you do that is a larger version of poster shown in the graphic to the left of “Get the List” in the step previous to the last one.

So you didn’t really need to go through those last steps but now Jacqueline knows who is accessing her materials, nothing  wrong with that (she asked and you gave :-), but she’s already told us the six tools to be covered in the course:
G Suite, Symbaloo EDU, Remind, Seesaw, Quizlet, and USA Learns.

I was learning already. I was interested to see how Jacqueline does it. So far I’d learned that you could use a list that goes out to all TESOL members who subscribe to it to drive traffic to your site and find out who was driven there by offering them something they could download for free. Registration for the course was free as well, so I carried on.

The instructions said to look for an email from @edtech4adultesl.com.  In the email, Jacqueline welcomed me to the course, briefly explained its rationale, laid out her plan for the 5 days of the course, and encouraged me to join the Facebook page and introduce myself there. Here’s what was in the email:

Welcome to the 5-Day ESL EdTech Jumpstart Challenge!

I’m so excited you are here! Using technology with adult ESL students who have limited digital literacy skills can be a daunting task, but it’s an essential piece of their education to pursue further education and become effective in today’s workforce.

Plus, the ability to use the internet and apps like Skype and Whatsapp gives our students access to staying in touch with family and friends in their home countries.

Simplification is KEY

My goal during this challenge is to simplify your classroom technology implementation process to help you overcome the overwhelm and avoid some of the hurdles that I have faced over my many years of using technology with my students.

Throughout this week-long challenge, I’ll show you how to organize your educational technology tools and websites, lay down some foundation to scaffold your students’ learning, and get students learning English on their devices.

Our agenda for the Week

Each weekday morning, you’ll receive an email from me with the day’s lesson and a few short activities.

• Lesson 1 – G Suite & Technology Help Sheet
• Lesson 2 – Symbaloo
• Lesson 3 – Remind
• Lesson 4 – School WiFi & Quizlet Activity
• Lesson 5 – Student Google Accounts & Quizlet Class

The orange button takes us to a closed group, so no point in posting its URL (if you want it, follow the steps above :-). In all about 30 people had joined the group, including me.

You can see in the group’s postings that the group was formed on June 30 and then activated for the first iteration of the course Aug 24-28. On Sept 17 the group graphic was updated to give the current dates for the second iteration of the course.

All the materials for the first iteration are posted between the announcements of the two sessions and are repeated above the second Jumpstart announcement. Participant comments on the materials (the six tools mentioned above) appear below the graphic identifying each day’s posting, so you can see the participants’ questions from the two sessions and Jacqueline’s responses. Participants’ introductions appear under the “first post” (under the Welcome, introduce yourself graphic), so a complete record of the course milestones (not the content, see below) and its interactions are, as far as I can see, preserved here.

Over the five days I received a succession of emails from Jacqueline giving instructions for what to do on each day of the course:

The mails for day 1 and day 2 ended up in my spam folder so I was slow getting started until the third one arrived and I was able to retrieve them (another participant had noted that he was confused about “how this works” but it was quite straightforward if you were getting the emails).

The emails explained the tools in greater depth and provided links to videos to introduce them and to demonstrate the activities expected from each participant. The one for Day 2, Symbaloo, is representative of the rest, so I’m posting here selected images from that day’s email:

Of course, the links to the actual videos on YouTube are in the email which you receive when you register for Jacqueline’s course. They do not appear at the Facebook group, so to get them you must register and have them sent to you. The only thing that appears at Facebook is an icon such as the one you see above for each day of the course. Participants are asked to post their questions or comments each day below the matching icon on the Facebook page.

So to answer the above-mentioned participant’s question, this is how it works. You respond to an invitation to join the course wherever you happen to see it. You register your email with Jacqueline by requesting a free download, or by whatever way you approach the course (I’m not sure what the other ways are; I found it from a TESOL Community list). If you join the Facebook Group (or the course in some other way) then Jacqueline sends you emails giving you links to the content of the course (the videos). You watch the videos, carry out the tasks, and post on your comments on completion of those tasks at the Facebook group.

At the end of the week, Jacqueline congratulates everyone on their efforts in a generic post to the Facebook group:

As Jacqueline says in her first email, Simplification is Key!

And this is pretty simple – and I would say, for what it is, successful. Full disclosure: I did not view all the videos or complete any of the tasks – I am already familiar with most of these tools (I really should go back and review the ones I don’t know, like .. Remind?? … please remind me later :-).

I am writing this because I became intrigued about the way Jacqueline structured her course and presented it. It seems as if she is experimenting with deployment and modeling her experiments as a guideline for others to follow or elaborate on.

That was my takeaway, all worthwhile, and if you’ve been away from Learning2gether lately, as I have been, welcome back!

Thu May 24 1900 CET Zoe Gallou globinar on free audiovisual web tools for teaching

The last decades have brought a vast change in the way the students learn. The use of screens is so broadly expanding, that educators cannot disregard this fact. Furthermore, it is strongly supported by several researchers that the audiovisual web tools could help students to better understand the teaching materials and to improve their knowledge and creativity. They also have proven to be really useful for students with special learning needs.

During this webinar, several audiovisual free web tools will be presented, in order to help educators:

• better support their teaching material,
• flip their classroom (flipped learning)
• help their students revise their lessons.
