Beyond the Zoom breakout rooms for speaking activities and shared Google docs for collaborative writing practice, there are other tools we can leverage to make our synchronous class meetings a bit more interactive. These are ideas I have been learning these past few weeks from social media professional groups and from the faculty development sites at multiple universities. I am afraid I can't remember now where exactly I got each idea from, or whether I'm reproducing each idea exactly the way I read about it. Let's just give credit to ALL teachers who are sharing their work as they figure out the pedagogical applications of tools that are new to many of them.

Consider this "curated" list my personal way of giving back and contribute to the huge professional development effort the language educator community is undertaking during this crisis.

The Whiteboard - Sentence Structure Practice

If you used to have students write on the board in the physical classroom, you can still do that virtually in Zoom. Here's one idea that works well for sentence structure practice. Give students a table with parts of possible sentences and ask them to write on a piece of paper as many sentences as they can in 2 or 3 minutes. Use a fun timer while sharing your screen ( https://www.online-stopwatch.com/emoji-race-timer/full-screen/ ). When the time is up, share the Zoom whiteboard and ask students to write their best sentences. If you give participation grades, check the "show names of annotators" feature in Zoom to encourage more involvement.

Here's an example for the present perfect tense in Spanish (it also works well with verbs like "gustar"):

Annotate Feature

If you use Zoom, students can interact with almost anything you are sharing on your screen. Here are a couple of ideas to achieve more student-teacher interaction during your Zoom lesson.

Idea 1 - Fly Swatter

This is the Zoom version of a classroom Fly Swatter game (it goes faster in Zoom because there's no need to rearrange furniture). When sharing your screen, show a grid with images of the vocabulary words you want to practice (this can be a table in a Word doc or in a Ppt slide). Enable participants' annotations, so they can interact with the shared screen. Say a sentence that describes one of the images in the grid and have students put a "virtual stamp" on the image they think it is.

I've done this to play vocabulary Fly Swatter games, but also to give directions on a map; it was fun to see where students ended up.

A little drawback: students can see each other's answers, so those who need more time to think may not enjoy this practice as much. An alternative is to use iClicker (free for the rest of the semester), which is also a screen annotation tool. Among iClicker's advantages, there's the ability to control when students can see each other's answers.

Below are two examples for vocabulary practice: one with images from my intermediate Spanish class and another one with just words (hard to represent with images) from my Business Spanish class:

Idea 2 - Listening Game

Lyricstraining.com is a free resource with popular songs in multiple languages. Select your target language and search for a popular artist. Play the song in "choice mode" and share your screen with students (make sure you're also sharing your computer sound so that students can hear the video from Lyricstraining). As your students listen, the screen will show blanks and multiple options on the right. With the Zoom Annotate feature, let your students tell you which option you should choose. You can also just ask them to unmute their mics and tell you, although this can get messy. Here's what you see in Lyricstraining when playing with the "choice mode" (I was playing "Te he echado de menos" by Pablo Alborán):

Chat - for Short Answer Questions During Lectures

Set the chat to private ("host only" option), so that students don't see each other's answers. As you present your vocabulary, grammar or culture lesson, ask short comprehension checks every three or four slides (True/False questions, Logical/Illogical, Fill in the blanks). Let students know that you are paying attention and keeping a record of those who answer in the chat for your participation grade. Let them know what the answer is after most people have had a chance to write in the chat. Here's an example from the nutrition and wellness unit in intermediate Spanish (I would use the animations in ppt to show one sentence at a time):

Let Students Share Their Screen

In the "share" button in the Zoom task bar, you should see an arrow that opens a menu. Select the option to allow multiple participants to share their screen. Have students work in groups of 3 to create an activity for the class (it can be something similar to the Yes/No vocabulary activity in the example above). Students collaborate to create their activities during a breakout room session (they can use Google docs), and then take turns to "play" their activity with the class while sharing their screen.

Virtual Backgrounds

If you don't know how to use this feature, ask your students. You probably have quite a few people in class who have become Zoom-savvy already. Give them the "power" to share their screen and show how to find and switch virtual backgrounds. One way to leverage this feature for language classes is to have students find images of places in the countries that speak the target language. They can then share a few things (in the target language) about the image: what it is and why they chose it, for example.

You may want to assign this for homework, because it can take some time for students to find an image they like and learn a few things about it. My intermediate Spanish class did this activity when we covered Venezuela. Most students used images of cities or natural landmarks (they were quick to associate Venezuelan tepuis with the movie ). One student decided to bring Maduro (Venezuela's president) as a guest of honor, which I thought was fun, but also made me think students could go a bit wild with this activity without clear examples of what we are trying to accomplish with it.

Other Tools That Work Well When Teaching Via Video Conferencing

If you have read this far, you're really into active learning and you were probably using some of these tools already in your classroom. Still, for those who are looking for whole class games and other formative assessment tools, here are some options with free basic features that get the job done: Kahoot, Gimkit, Quizlet, PearDeck and NearPod. Each of these tools' websites offer detailed information on how to use them for multiple purposes, so there's no need to make this post any longer than it already is.

Helpful Ways To Keep Your Remote Learners Engaged

COVID-19 has suddenly transitioned the whole world to remote collaboration. Education is no different. Schools, universities, and community colleges across the globe are already in different phases of moving online. At what level of preparedness they were when they started is a different story. But after the initial hustle, most educators have succumbed to the fact that this will be the new normal for quite some time and are now actively working on making their remote classes better.

Needless to say, remote learning needs to be delivered via an online tool. There are many options available-Google Classroom, Zoom, GoToMeeting are just a few names. But, before you get to choosing something, remember there is no one-size-fits-all solution here. What works for someone else might not work for you. So, use your own discretion, evaluate, and choose what fits you and your students best. And once you have chosen something, try and stick to it. Rotating tools frequently might just add to the already ongoing confusion and chaos around. Set aside some time to introduce your students to the tool you are planning to use and you should be good to go thereon.

And now, moving on to some quick and handy tips that could help engage remote learners well.

1. Open The Session In An Exciting Way

It is a good idea to open your virtual classroom with something fun and interesting. This is also useful to get the learners' attention during the first few seconds. Present attention-grabbing facts, fiction, or any other information that could interest learners. You could also throw a challenge that stimulates their thinking.

2. The 10:2 Method

For every 10 minutes of instruction, allocate 2 minutes to your students to process and respond to it. Have them ask any questions they may have or make them write what they have learned.

3. Use Interactivity

Interactivity and engagement go hand in hand. Since the classroom is online and you cannot observe your learners face-to-face, you need a mechanism to ensure that they interact with content and are not distracted. Don't turn off your learners with the static PowerPoint slides. Turn your content into an interactive parallax or use panning slides to present. Check their knowledge with a fun quiz like cheese quest. The key is to increase and enhance engagement with the use of interactivity. Use a new-age tool like Raptivity 2020 to build such interactive activities rapidly.

4. Enable Closed Captioning

Most presentation and online meeting tools have the option of enabling closed captioning for your session. This eases things in case students are not able to hear you clearly for some reason or not able to follow your accent. PowerPoint for Office 365, for instance, can transcribe your words as you present and display them on-screen as captions in the same language you are speaking or as subtitles translated in another language. This can help accommodate individuals in the audience who may be hard of hearing or are more familiar with another language, respectively.

5. Answer "What's In It For Me"

"What's in it for me?" "Why am I learning this?" These are some questions that every student has in the back of their mind. "Because it is in your syllabus," is not the best answer. Giving them examples of how they might apply a skill in real life makes it more relevant and engaging. If possible, show them videos of the skill or learning in use.

6. Encourage Collaboration

Let your learners collaborate with their peers for better learning. Form a group or an online discussion portal where your learners can get together to talk, share their understanding, or even provide feedback. Make use of breakout rooms to get students together for discussions.

7. Throw In A Surprise Element

Crack a joke, ask students to solve a puzzle, throw in random trivia-it is always a good idea to include a surprise element in your online class. It could be something as simple as asking students to get up and take two rounds of the room they are sitting in or having them jump on the spot for 30 seconds. The idea is to break the monotony and keep students engaged.

8. Provide Feedback

It is important to let students know how they are faring while learning remotely. Provide regular feedback to them. Also, encourage students to ask questions and share their insights during the class.

9. Keep In Touch

Since you are already using technology to interact with them during this unprecedented crisis, why not make use of it to know your students better? You may know them through school or college, but you might not know what they like to do when they are not studying. Ask them about their interests, their likes and dislikes. Send regular email notes to them, drop in a hello, check on their health or any challenges they are facing. Schedule one-on-one interactions if needed.

I hope you find the above tips useful as you plan your online classes. And before I wrap up, a closing thought. Determine a specific time for everything and stick to a set schedule. Keeping a schedule helps immensely. Not just for students, but also for you as educators in providing consistency and inculcating discipline. Let me know how you are coping up with remote learning.

Kialo Edu is a custom version of Kialo ( kialo.com), the world's largest argument mapping and debate site, specifically designed for classroom use. Its clear, visually compelling format makes it easy to follow the logical structure of a discussion and facilitates thoughtful collaboration. Kialo's mission is to promote well-reasoned discussion online, and to that end, Kialo is free for educators to use.

To put their knowledge into action To sharpen their critical reasoning skills To demonstrate their understanding To engage constructively with each other
Take your classroom discussions online, break down complex subjects for students, and shake it up with new types of assignments.

Try Kialo in Your Classroom

What can you use Kialo for?

Create discussions for your students, where they can put their knowledge into practice, develop their own views on classroom content, and consolidate what they've learned. In a Kialo discussion, every student has a voice - there's no talking over each other, and students have the space to explore arguments at their own pace. Kialo's collaborative platform encourages students to work together to find the best way to express each idea.

Assign students to write a Kialo discussion instead of an essay - or use Kialo discussions to outline larger writing projects. Kialo's argument-tree structure leads students to consider counter-arguments, develop a logical outline of their argument, and visualize how their ideas fit together.

Write a discussion for your students to explore, and set out content in a clear and easy format. Link to additional sources and reading, challenge students to add arguments or question concepts.

How does Kialo work?

With Kialo, discussions and debates are clearly visualized as an interactive tree of pro and con arguments. At the top of every discussion is the thesis, which is supported or challenged by pro and con claims. Each one of these claims can in turn branch into subsequent claims that support or challenge them.

All discussions are private and can only be seen by those you choose to share them with. To start a discussion with your students, simply write a brief description and a thesis (or theses). Share the discussion with your whole class, or divide students into smaller groups.

Each claim has a comment section underneath that allows you to give students feedback, suggest improvements, and ask questions without cluttering the surface of the discussion. Similarly, students can easily collaborate with each other to improve their arguments, examples, and phrasing.

You can set up teams for each of your classes to easily share and organize the content you want your students to see. All content on Kialo-Edu.com is private, accessible only to the people you share it with.

These features are just a small fraction of what you can do with Kialo.
