This site is very simple to use as a student and not too difficult as a teacher either. A great function is the ability to have competitions within the class. It can use pre-created questions and form teams of 3 or 4 for the whole class to compete against each other. It gets the kids moving around and it is a great motivational form of technology.]]> 2019-02-19 23:59:02 UTC https://padlet.com/drewolson24/jgjjumnrwy5x/wish/332981437 drewolson24 https://padlet.com/drewolson24/jgjjumnrwy5x/wish/332983811 https://get.plickers.com/
Plickers is a great, fun way to conduct formative assessments with the students. It still amazes me every time a professor uses it. Plickers is an app that allows the professor to use his/her camera to scan the entire room. The only thing needed to prepare is to print out the class set of cards which the app will then scan]]> 2019-02-20 00:11:52 UTC https://padlet.com/drewolson24/jgjjumnrwy5x/wish/332983811 drewolson24 https://padlet.com/drewolson24/jgjjumnrwy5x/wish/332990961 https://www.spotify.com/us/
Spotify is a great music source for all sorts of Spanish and Latino tunes. I plan to incorporate this with print-offs of the lyrics to practice listening skills on whatever current topic we are learning.]]> 2019-02-20 00:48:46 UTC https://padlet.com/drewolson24/jgjjumnrwy5x/wish/332990961 drewolson24 https://padlet.com/drewolson24/jgjjumnrwy5x/wish/332991764 Pros- Collaboration, access, opportunity for differentiation, real-life preparation

Cons- Distractions, inconsistencies, reliability of devices/internet, cheating]]> 2019-02-20 00:52:40 UTC https://padlet.com/drewolson24/jgjjumnrwy5x/wish/332991764 drewolson24 https://padlet.com/drewolson24/jgjjumnrwy5x/wish/333014624 I think music is essential for a language learning environment. It allows our brains to be fed the target language without even noticing it. I will use it in transition times, during group work, and even use it with lyrics to teach things such as past, future, subjunctive, and a whole bunch of vocabulary.]]> 2019-02-20 02:30:25 UTC https://padlet.com/drewolson24/jgjjumnrwy5x/wish/333014624
