Summary

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-01 22:12:12 UTC

1. In this module we learned teachers require a different shift in the mindset to deal all the technologies in the classroom.
2. Provide opportunities for practicing teachers to tinker to digital tools and adapt them to your needs.

How techie are you?

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-01 22:19:57 UTC

It's important be familiar with technology but it's not a rule,you can't domain everything, on the other hand there are people who are resistant to technology (technophobes).
Tech-savvy: Someone who is an expert in technology.
"The guide on the side": methaphor that represent the teacher's role in the classroom with new digital tools today.Everybody can contribute, so sharing has become much more lateral than vertical.
Tools should be used with a pedagogical gain,
as teacher, we might to put them in a direction and guide them to a critical thinking.
When we deal with information, learning takes place in six level according to Bloom's taxonomy.
HOTS - Higher Order thinking skills.(Create, Evaluate, Analysis)
LOTS - Lower Order thinking skills.(Apply, Understand, Remember)

What are the main reasons for using new technologies in the EFL classroom? What are the challenges/drawback? How can we solve them?

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-01 23:10:01 UTC

The reasons are to get them the opportunity to create, to personalize the experiences, to think differently, to engage in other skills, to communicate well, to collaborate with each other.
The first challenge is the limitation of knowledge of technology, other is in terms of bad infrastructure, or sometimes is prohibited by law the use of phones in the classroom, another is the restriction by parents for children have more privacy or they think using technology is just to play games.
One way to minimize these resistances is showing to parents what students did before theused technology, like videos, blogs, etc. Starts small, begin with a simple idea in your classroom and the school will see the advantages. Teachers have to think about privacy.

Fakebook

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-01 23:33:11 UTC

It's a fictional page, it looks like Facebook, but you don't have to put your information.
It's give students a chance to explore it without create an account but show how it works and protect them outside world so stimulate the student think about privacy.

We have to types of communications

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-01 23:56:22 UTC

You can review the previous lesson to recall information using keywords.

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 00:01:16 UTC

Asking to create a history, create sentences, you can use keywords to recycle language, for listening, to pre teach the language before they listen, or maybe introducing a new topic, to get them attention, to make connections and so on.
You can use Word clouds...

What is technology?

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 00:09:40 UTC

The way we do something to achieve a task or to get solution for a problem.
So we want our students to do something and even if we don't have resource or infrastructure we might to implement something to change the situation.

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 11:15:44 UTC

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 11:18:03 UTC

Technology is not new in the classroom, what is a revolution is what we can do with it.

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 11:19:21 UTC

"A brief (and incomplete) snapshot of the past 100+ years of educational technology"

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 11:21:48 UTC

A brief history of technology in education.
Technology is always part of classroom.

Some ideas about Technology in education.

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 11:49:46 UTC

1. Technology enhanced education when it has made things easier, It brings more opportunities for students work with language out of classroom.Some teachers argue that they need to be more familiar and it brings more work for them to prepare things to use with your students.

2. Nowadays technology give us more control to share, save, edit, remove information and connect to students out of classroom.
3. Schools should have the mentality that these tools can contribute then they provide tools to use devices and training to use it.

Add-on for Skpe that you can use in classroom.

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 12:08:39 UTC

idroo: add-ons that you can share screen. ( https://idroo.com/)
amolto : add-on that allows you record audio(https://amolto.com/)

Mystery skype.

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 12:19:49 UTC

You can play using Mystery Skype with other class to guess where they live. It's a funny way to learn about other cultures and improve critical thinking and communication skills.

Does a new technology necessarily eliminate another?

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 13:03:34 UTC

New technology it is a complement to other.

Digital literacy

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 13:20:05 UTC

More than just using technology, it’s the role of the school to promote digital literacy making our students prepare to work with digital environment, giving capacity to deal with video, text, image, and multimedia.
We have to consider some aspects that involve digital literacy:
-skills to use devices;
-critical thinking and evaluation;
-e-safty : be careful sharing personal data;
-understanding: make a balance what we say, sometimes it sounds rude in other cultures.
-collaboration: not just physically but sometimes with people in the other side of the world.
-Curate: Choose and get students to choose information among so much information.
-Proficient communicator.
-Creativity: To be able think differently.

Another areas important specially in education relating to digital literacy

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 13:41:57 UTC

-Visual literacy: Its important students to understand the message behide images.
In the past, we make student elicit information using images, so image was used just to give support. Now, with visual literacy image becomes object of study, I use image to get them to talk about or express opinions
-Transmedia: The idea to move from one media to the other.

How digital literate do you consider yourself? How can you work with digital literacy in EFL classroom?

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 14:07:05 UTC

Asking in the right question so stimulate discussion, get them to think about more deep.

Language learning in digital Era.

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 14:14:20 UTC

Information Age
How we expect how to do things are different, so we also should to prepare our students to work differently. In the past, it seemed something static, now we consider renewing ideas, ongoing, learning have to be continuous, lifelong learning.
You have to make knowledge profitable.
From book Collective intelligence : "No one knows everything; everyone knows something" Pierri Lévy(1999).

Collaborative Problem solving skills:The problem can be solved easier when we work together.

-Sharing is caring: The more you can share is better, but mention did who you got it from.

How reliable is Wikipedia?

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 16:45:10 UTC

Academic is a reliable source but how reliable is this?
You have to check the source.

Some tools

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 16:50:00 UTC

Facebook

Choices and resilience

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 16:52:18 UTC

You have to give choices to work together. When they face with difficulties we have to think about help them to build resilience, it's important when they learn language too.
Learning by doing, reflect the process.

Classroom management

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 17:25:59 UTC

Classroom management will be a big issue when we integrate technology in the classroom.
How can I monitor the activity? How can we guarantee that students pay attention or how can we make sure that they actually are doing?
Encourage them to work in groups, sharing one device per group reduce the level of distraction and force collaboration among them.

Backchanneling:

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 17:46:55 UTC

The idea that some activities place in background, for example the teacher is talking about subjects while students leave questions, I can see if students pay attention.
We can use todaymeet.com/socrative.com

Digital Natives

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 17:54:43 UTC

Digital Natives is fluent because is what they already use every day, so they are familiar. If I'm fluent in a language, It's not necessary that I know how language work, there is no guarantee.

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 18:32:58 UTC

New way of teaching

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 18:35:57 UTC

How can we bridge the gap between ourselves and our students when we use technology?

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 18:39:13 UTC

Getting students notice these diferences:
I'LL LOVE YOU( Pronunciation : All love you)
CENTER PAGE ( Pronunciation: It's on the sent a page)
ALASKA TOMORROW( PronuntiationI will askher tomorrow)

Video to teach pronunciation:

Generations X, Y, Z, C and Mlenials.

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 19:03:08 UTC

Generation C is irrelevant for age, it's a connected Generation.
Since students are connected teachers should think how can we use it in our advantage.
With this connectivity we have possibilities of informal learning, when we learn something interacting.

Generation C

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 19:14:30 UTC

Kahoo.it

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 19:17:21 UTC

Kahoot! makes it easy to create, share and play fun learning games or trivia quizzes in minutes.

We can't be digital, but native-like

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 19:50:21 UTC

Some characteristics from Net generations.

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 19:53:46 UTC

Netiquette: How we can behave online, it's varies from group to group, country to country.
You have to think about you are saying, avoid contravention contents, be respectful.

Devices that we were used in periods of education.

Speech from minister from Education from Brazil about the delay of education.

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 21:32:17 UTC

We can not change how to deal with information, we have to stop comparing how we learn

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 21:33:37 UTC

Pedagogy is more important

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 21:54:18 UTC

How do we are getting our students to learn.
For example..

About music, lyric's training allow to work on listening skills, motivate students, works on spelling.

Will technology ever substitute teachers?

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 22:02:03 UTC

For Sugatra, In terms in human element, it is irreplaceable.

Changes the roles of teachers and learners.

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 22:11:32 UTC

Partnership pedagogy : Exchange of knowledge.

Teacher:
-the guide on the side;
-questioner;
-instigator;

Students:
-specialist user of technology;
-researcher.

Collaborative construction of knowledge with technology

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 22:24:44 UTC

Prosumers:With new technologies at our diposal, students are all potential, producing knowledge.

Using technology in the classroom

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 22:29:00 UTC

Power Point: To make presentation;
Embedded YouTube videos, create images(converting to a picture).

WWW

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 22:35:16 UTC

Students can study...
Whatever
Whenever
Wherever
How can we get them to do this?

Piano in itself doesn't produce great music but a great musician could.

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 22:40:58 UTC

How you use that's make the difference.

Some possibilities

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-02 22:46:49 UTC

Blended learning:
It is a mix of face-to-face and online. Nowadays one of the most effective form.

e-learning & m-learning:
Mobile learning, people uses smartphone

Some challenges

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-03 00:18:52 UTC

-Critical use of NICT: be able to make good judgements when you use these(ICT: Information and communication technology.
NICT: New Information communication technology)
-Copy & Paste culture: How do I know they are not copy and paste? how do I teach them the responsibility if you get something as website, site the source(who you got it from? Is it reliable? Can I get the same information other websites? I have cross reference)
-New pedagogies: It is not necessary new, maybe a new way to teach or do the same thing
-Velocity: Problem in terms of infrastructure, specially about internet connection.
-Safety: password, names, personal information, be careful what you share on line.
-Technology is failable! You need to have a way out.

How and why to integrate the new technologies in the ELT classromm?

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-03 12:43:39 UTC

There is no magic bullet. You have to know what happen in you teach context.
Inclusion practice: Get to them participate. If you gonna to use some app, get sure it is compatible with device of students.
Encourage collaboration, construction and so on.

Flip learning : Rather than coming in class, teach, discourse the content and go home do the exercises, first students read material at home and come to class to do the exercises in class, you invert the order of things.

"...new way of inserting education in the complex processes of communication of the current society. "(Martín-Barbero, 2000apud Souza & Gamba Jr, 2002)

Summary

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-03 14:01:52 UTC

This is the second stage we continued learn about the use of technologies and to get a view that technologies we have today alive different way we used some years ago and it brings a lot of implications in terms of classroom management that make us to reflect about how to deal with this in the classroom, how we can help our students work with it.
We can realize that the use of new technologies make possible to materialize the ideas about interaction, share information, collaborating and dealing with information as some theories of Constructivism guide us to do.

Reflections

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-03 14:37:59 UTC

As teacher when we talk about technologies we have to think not just using it but the idea behide. It implies how I prepare my students and myself, what teachers expect for them.
Our focus is language learning, and we should think about how we can get students to use English and produce.
Teachers have to help students to make the best choices for this it's important to think about digital awareness and guide them to know how to check information, and double check, how to cross reference, how reliable it is, make them awareness about footprints, privacy security.

Tool that permit stop in the middle of the video and make comments

Digital Footprints

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-03 16:22:06 UTC

We leave marks when we use Internet.

Big data

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-03 16:28:29 UTC

A big area still hasn't been explored in education but in other areas. The data is taken of these informations that we leave, our mark, digital footprints that be able be using for their own benefits.We can think about personalize learning or adaptive learning.

Pre-requisites for the 21st-century teacher

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-03 16:58:24 UTC

It seems new, it is just a new name, new package but the content is sometimes the same thing.
Prensky listed a few things that teachers need to do with 21st century education.
Put engagement before content: We have to think not in terms of the tools but in terms of implications for learning because tools always changes, but what matters is exactly how use it in our everyday lifes.

Prefer personalized instruction to herding:
Herd: a group of animal coming together.
So he uses the term personalizes instruction opposite to herding mentality when everybody does the same thing, so rather than teaching the same way to everyone, we can think maybe making them more significant for each, as much as possible.
Include students in what you do in class : If you get students involves, it makes it all easy to yourself. So get them to contribute to the lessons, let students have a say, get them give opinion, to give feedback on what is been taught.

Social Network/Networking Sites

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-03 17:01:55 UTC

Social Network Sites.
Consistent key technological features: It is democratic, you have full access, the fact that it's social it's the opportunity to interact with other people, that's the main purpose, sharing. You can incorporate a lot of tools like blogs, links, pictures, images, video, stuffs on to this. Ex. Facebook, tumbler.
Important questions about SNS?
1.What do we mean here by "network"? Community, sharing, collaboration, people coming together, caring.
3.What's the difference between Social Network Sites and Social Networking Sites? Most of the times that is same. Originally they were created for two specific purpose but the users that decide or create the feature, redesign, redefine the purpose of these sites.

What is a "social network"?
-Facilitate information,
- communication;
-The big difference is establishing ties;
-Most of the times we connect to people that we know already.E.g; friends, friends of friends, relatives.
-SNS are web-based;
-you can create your profile;
-talk about yourself;

Social Networking Sites ...
Is more professional connections, it is more offer between strangers.

Engaging learning activities

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-03 17:05:01 UTC

We have to think about how can we make them more engage, make them more involves.

Maximizing student collaboration/Making students global citizens

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-03 17:06:19 UTC

Since we are engage them we have to think about promoting collaboration.
There is a difference between collaboration and cooperation. When I contribute I know different of you know, but when we put it together it becames something else.
When we talk about language learning we want to get students use language with collaboration.
So if we talk about collaboration the benefits is get students became global citizens that collaborate with other people around the world. In this sense, It can bring benefits like cross cultural competence and cross cultural inteligence understanding different cultures and see them deliver a global village.

What makes a meme a good meme? Updates, wise spread and funny. So we can get students to work with that.
We can think about not just memes but also get them captions for pictures.
Captions are also very popular with teenagers.
Memes or captions can helps students develop a critical thinking as well.

Some tools

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-03 23:36:07 UTC

Two questions to continue discussion about becoming a 21st century teacher.

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-03 23:40:51 UTC

1.What should be the characteristics of the teacher of the 21st century?
It goes back to the dichotomy that Prensk made between Digital immigrant and Digital native, and the fact that people born after 199 fell a little more comfortable with technologies whereas people were born before this time fell a bit uncomfortable, they have dome barrier to overcome, and they have to do a lot of resilience.
Since learning is ongoing this is another thing, there are so much information available. So, be resilient is one of the characteristics, another characteristic, some teachers have to be creative. Creativity is always been part of teaching, since we have so much available material we have to know adapt them to solve needs of students.
Be innovative is other characteristic. If you talk about flipped learning, an innovative teacher flip the session rather than discussing, he read first and after do exercises.
Be updated: It gives you a different perspective about what you are doing or what you think about your teaching practices.
DOK- Deep of knowledge.
Open to the new is other characteristic, maybe sometimes there a lot of resistance when we have to do something differently.
Willing to thinker: To play around with the tools that you're not familiar, open up this kind of discover.
Are you a 21st century teacher?
Are you a teacher that makes or facilitates learning? That promotes learning for your students more significantly? Are you the teacher that equip your students for the future they are going to have? How can we prepare them for the future? We can prepare them for a specific job?
You can inspire to other people to do something else.
Carol Deweck put two types of mentalities: Growth mindset x fixed midset.

The 21st century teacher.

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-04 11:19:58 UTC

This image represents the 21st century teacher.

Building new paradigm: Restructuring the way to do things.
Web access:the idea refer to access to Internet.
Skill sets for the 21st Century : How we can teach these skills we want our students get if we don't have them?
Learning environment: Online, groups, communities, discussion groups sometimes we call L-mensseger(Learning management System), we have a platform with material online and students participate exchange ideas.
Return home: Restart, refresh, rethinking, reevaluate how do things.

Making association:

Creative: Creative & publishing;
Innovative: Building a new paradigm;
Critical : a thinking pedagogy;
Updated: skill setsfor 21st Century;
Open to the new : Information management;
Growth mindset: Learning environment.

The networked teacher.

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-04 12:58:12 UTC

There is a lot of skills involved in things you can do.
Social Network Sites: Social media that make sharing pictures, photos.
Popular media:Video, TV Series, films in general TV in this case, stream, online TV and so on.
Colleagues: Learning from each other.
Family/local community: It is not just in the classroom also through family. Local community dealing with digital resources attending conferences.
Curriculum documents: Sometimes you might not be directly involves because way you work the materials already prepared but let say you have a chance to create your materials, design own stuffs for your curriculum.
Social Bookmarking: It is the idea of using corrections tools, web sites, apps that helps you save pages, organize your materials.
Video conferencing:

Blogs:Get our ideas out, reflect what you've learning, what you see, what you understand.
Wikis: It involves the idea of document can be edited by anyone, so it's for collaborative, production of knowledge and to make a collaborative write.
Podcats:Usually appear in mp3 form file, it's an audio that you can talk about anything and it can be downloaded as interview, discussion.
Example of activity using podcast:
-Think of two minutes recording;
-It's about a topic that you teaching recently, it can be language, grammar, vocabulary or pronunciation;
-Maybe something extra practice;
- It requires a script, you have to maintain the volume, get a bit emotion in there;
- You can introduce and they can give the solution.
-It encourage them to be creative.
-If you do this in classroom, you should consider the amount of times students takes to preparation and development of activity.

Have an audience:
We need to know somebody you have to listen to us, to comment, to reply, the more you can make this open or have connections to others because it's the meaningful.

Do you remember Bloom?

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-04 17:36:33 UTC

Psychomotor: We also learn with our body, with our movement, we learn through gesture, eye contact,

In schools, we tend to ficus in cognitive aspect of learning domain.

There is an emotional element, it is very important if we deal about learning.
The affective filter is a theoretical to explain when we are espoused to another language, if you are not at least achieving a satisfaction level of comprehension, we create a block in our receptivity. Teachers have to be attention to make sure that is not too difficult or not too easy but specially too difficult because it can create a block.

Apps used accord Bloom's taxonomy

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-04 18:01:04 UTC

In each level it suggests a few typical apps or tools.
We can use with our students in the classroom. These are not definitive or unchangeable .

Lifelong learnin

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-04 18:08:46 UTC

Lifelong learning or ongoing learning: More people realize that you can't stop learning.
Microlearning: It is the opportunity to expand on something you start just a small point.
Professional development sometimes refer to as CPD which is continuous Professional Development.
So, the idea is refreshing, going back, getting another going back on what you study or expanding on it, see it again for a different perspective. Now with the Internet we can do this for ourselves, the idea here is with the tools are our disposes we can actually do this on own.

Stages of collaboration

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-04 18:32:44 UTC

The collaborate is a cycle.
You can use in academic research, but if you transfer to the classroom with our students we can also think about in this way.
If you give students tasks like this, think of what each student actually going to be doing, you could, first of all organize it or let make them organize themselves.
1 Identify who knows what who can contribute to what is the knowledge.
2. Create the knowledge.
3.I double check, review, make sure it is valid.
4. Make sure that is presented to someone and get feedback.

Using new technologies in the EFL classroom

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-04 19:29:43 UTC

Using DT to foster classroom interaction
-Thinking of students students;
-Getting them to work in groups to give a chance to share other opinions;

Using digital photos:
1) Teacher brings digital family photos to show to class and elicit/introduce vocabulary. Sts can ask questions (name/age/occupation/etc)
2) Teacher takes pictures of students in action and then shows them the pictures to practice structure (What is Bruno doing?)

Using cell phones:
1) to practice writing (SMS):
2) to practice speaking (real telephone conversations);
3) to take pictures;
4) to make films;

Check with consultants

Summary

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-04 20:13:32 UTC

How we can actually use these tools and create stuff for students. and not just create but get students to create as well.
In this part we'll look at more closely what it is to be literate in 21st century.
Using technology is self-development tool not just for our students but for us as learners as teachers as professionals users of the language. How can we make better use of all of these tools to develop our ongoing learning.
How assessment is changing because of technology? How we can better use assessment?How we can better attend the needs of our students or meet the needs of our students.

Socrative

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-04 20:47:30 UTC

You have to pay attention to type and the video, this is a skill(reading, writing, thinking, multitask skill)
You can expand, maybe use it as part of homework or assessment, students can share with you by using this tool.
What ways you can get students to participate in the lesson
The purpose using technology in the class.It used to get students interact more
This is very useful in online learning, it can help with a skill note take is a skill.It opens up for reflection about what they listen.

Technology and change in English Language -Huw Jarvis

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-04 21:31:06 UTC

-it's a article talks about the growth of ELT, how does expand English Language teaching.
-How the role of computers in ELT;
-The Internet has brought on and changing, in use of the Language and speak, what the kind of language we were exposed to.
-What the implications of that, so these are the main points arises in this article.
We talk about English as a Foreign language(EFL), English as second language and then the shift to we call in English as International Language, the idea of Global English, Global Language. So what's we talk about here is a task based approach, and if we quickly remember the idea of task base approach learning. Nowadays, more and more learning about English we are learning through English. I got it's the big shift.
When we go back and talk about digital literacy, we students are not learn English to learn about the language, necessarily. Do you think of what happens with bilingualism or CLIL(Content Language Integrated Learning), so I'm teaching subjects through English, I'm not study verb, preposition, idiomatic expressions, i'm not learn verb tenses.I'm learning geography but I'm talk about i in English.

Computers and ELT

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-04 22:38:26 UTC

Before the Internet:
CALL: Computer Assistant Language Learning.
Three phases of CALL: We have behaviorist, that we have more communicative phase and then we had the integrate phase
Now with the Internet in language teaching:
CMC(Computer Mediate Communication): So nowadays we are mediating when we 're talking to be on interaction to people through devices. Devices keep us or connect us.

How is the internet changing language?

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-04 22:57:47 UTC

"Language teaching education is clearly entering a new and largely uncharted phase and we would seem to be at a crossroads. Warschauer and Kern(2000) have identified this as a "sociocognitive phase"where, unlike in previous phases students interact with each other and the word via computer."

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-04 23:59:53 UTC

Warschauer and Kern talk about sociocognitive, the idea of teaching in education is not just cognitive and that affect a lot what happens with learning because he says that they interact through the computer.

Dichotomy of LOW TECH x HIGH TECH: We have always think about how we can actually use to do the same things without all of these technological devices.
Option:Open Space Technology: Hand out sheets of Bristol board and markers students brainstorm in groups and present their result as a poster. Post the sheets around the classroom Students move around and leave comments(written and oral) One student stays next to the poster to answer questions and clarify information. The group reassembles and each reports what they found in other posters.

Ethepad

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-05 00:43:35 UTC

Collaborative classroom game.
1. type quizlet.live
2.put the number gave for your teacher
3.In group, one of you have the right answer and choose the right answer.

Literacy

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-05 01:01:52 UTC

We have to think in literacy in a different light now.Text is not just text, we not just work with words, think of what happens with memes, we have the words but what makes it is funny is the image.
Image is very important in portray meaning.
Since we talked about digital literacy we have to talk about a multiliteracy, the fact is that multiliteracy today is not just text, but image, sounds and so on.It's a combination of things like visual literacy, information literacy, critical thinking and so on and so far.
Text is multi-modal, today texts are video, images, symbols, anything that goes together.

"All text is socially situated"(Moita Lopes, 1990)
Meaning that somebody wrote with an intention.

Learning about language or learning through language: we are not talking about grammar anymore, we are talk about meaning, things about themselves.

If you talk about literacy you have to think about this: "our job isnot to get students to create things with teach, but to teach them to read informtion critically"
Because students show they learn.

How can we use critical thinking with technology?
What does it mean to be literate in the 21st century?
Besides know to read and write It means to have the follow characteristics:
Problem solving
Critical thinking
Communicating clearly

What Does it Mean to be Literate in the 21st Century? (short version 8 min)

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-05 17:27:36 UTC

-The notion of literacy is being expanded;
-Becoming fluent in different skills
-The basis- words and numbers
-Critical and visual literacy
-being able to read the world
-Information literacy - synthesize information
-different ways we research
-social intelligence and emotional intelligence - how do you read.
-Outdoor literacy: The students spend most the time in front of the computer. This is the world.
-the role is changing - sage on the stage to guide on the side: Partnership, co responsible for the learning.
-partnership in learning
-will need to be literate in all kind of tech tools
-tech is part of their lifestyle - Good or bad?
-Overwhelmed with info - pros and cos - think deeper.
-Emotional health -
-Many ways to receive information - evaluating and using: Prosumers write text, send videos;
-teachers must be competent : Most of the teachers are using technology socially, but we still don’t know using technology to learn.
-new generation of teachers - they want tech in classroom
-future skills - Power Point or Prezi? Padlet, google sldes, one note(microsoft)– tools to presentation skill.
-Tech invades life
-Literacy is the same - really?
-Ways of using tech and websites
-Ass technology strand - what?
-multiple literacies - what would it be called?

Multiliteracy

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-05 18:02:02 UTC

Critical Framing – Double meaning.
Transformed Practice. Creative – Bloom’s taxonomy.

Putting into practice – music favorites.

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-05 18:04:48 UTC

Using music is an example of literacy.
Example: Toni Childs – Welcome to the World
-Get opinions about part of the lyrics.
-lyrics that students don’t know ;
-Listening and appreciate the song, and make students interact

Higher Highlight tool

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-05 18:11:59 UTC

It's an extension to add on to Google Chrome, it uses to highlight texts.
You can save and share your highlight.
It permits using to Collaborative reading.
Suggestions in the classroom:
1.Each of them is responsible to extract information from that website and highlighter the important point and share them or read text and divide the text.
2.The benefits to read the start sentence and last sentence: The most important sentence in the paragraph, usually ideas is present in the first sentence and reconsidered, reappeared in the last sentence in different ways, usually in text. If I don’t have the time to read we have to focus and the first and the last paragraph.It's a kind of scanning.
It’s something we can do with students in several ways to get them to pay attention to the most important parts of text, or language. Here we worked with comprehension, you can work with specific aspec of language,if you work on linking of ideas, how is the author link part of the texts, what kind of language he is using to express that, if you look collocation, what some words repeat all the time in the text and so on. News items, fcusing on specifc areas(about natural disasters)
3.recreate and summarize the text based on the first and the last sentences on each paragraph.
4-Highlight the phrasal verbs, collocation, etc and send them to your teacher as a homework
5-What’s one word to summarize this sentence?
6- I can do or students do themselves, work as a group, I can get them read one text or four different text or article about the same topic and them talk about. I working with the idea of critical thinking , why one article mention it and other don’t.

In Literacy in 21st century We have to find things, go deeper, explore, have to find the best possibilities, We have to learn how to do , not just why.

The promise and perils of technology in English Language Teaching and Learning.

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-05 18:25:04 UTC

Promisses:
-People can interact from different -parts.
-It makes possible to learn more from other cultures.
-It enhances the teacher's work.
-You can make everything that you want without go out home.
-It's fantastic his idea of co- construction of knownledge.

Perils:

-Lack existence of resources in class;
-We need to prepare students for using it;
-Be careful of the netiquette;
-Also bad content is available on the internet. Too much distraction. Technology sometimes doesn't work.

Teaching

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-05 22:29:33 UTC

Teaching has several aspects in different terms:
-We still have face to face
-We have distance learning/distance education.
-The branches or byproduct of that is e-learning and blended.
learning(is a combination of both face to face and on line element);
e-learning is the broader term which encompass things like m-learning, mobile learning. So nowadays we talk about m-learning because most of the people use their phones for everything.
u-learning: studying anywhere and everywhere.
Generations of distance learning:
-Correspondence;
-BroadCast radio & television;
-Open Universities;
-Teleconferecing;
-Internet/Web;

Virtual classrooms:
5th genarations:
LMS: Learning Managment System. E.g:Moodle
VLE: Virtual Learning Environment.
The key difference is in terms of who is organize it.LMS is much more institutional or structured based on some kind of program, syllabus or curriculum. VLE can be much more informal, any on line space, a learning space where people can share documents, ideas and so on. E.g A Facebook page or some kind of link that connect people that share ideas, not just documents, even texts messenger apps.

Distance Education/learningChallenges for learners:

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-05 23:55:20 UTC

-Autonomy/independence: Autonomy means what you know what you have to do and you also interact with other people exchange ideas to get experiences.
An independent learning doesn't necessary need anybody, he usually self-taught.

-time managment
- organization skills: how do I put things together,
-written skills
-digital literacy
other? One of the others involves assessment, so how do we evaluate, check, measure, grade a text students.Two types of assessments:
Formative assessment with online tools – instant feedback- help students as they progress- depersonalization of content, individualization, differentiation, but the aim is the same, also in term of level of knowledge.

Summative assessment.

Plickers

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-06 00:05:30 UTC

-Assessment and Feedback;
-Plickers Similar to Socrative ;
-You have a number, around the shape you have letters around the shape, according to the letter you round your cards, I get the answers with a phone.
-The purpose of Plickers is that you can use just the cell phone, revise vocabulary, you can use multiple choice or true/false question. Use the phone to scan the answers. I don't need internet connection.

25:16 you can get a report the performace

26:45 : you print the cards

New technologies ans Assessment

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-06 00:12:55 UTC

Videocasts:Students record themselves and send this video as an assessment. Screencast capt image and voice.
Wikis
Posters: Canvas, adobe spark : texts images, etc

e-Portfolios
Chats
Podcasts
Projects: So I get them engage or design something work on something relating to a topic that they are interest rather than focusing on the book, but they are work on specific idea
Forum: Similar to chats, it can be accessible to participation, we have at least participate three times, every week you have to post one comment or comment somebody else answers ;
Blogs: Share ideas, talk about something or themselves, It can be a diary, journal or stories.

21st Century Portfolios

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-06 00:22:38 UTC

ePortfolio: students can create portfolios on line.
The objective of portfolio basically is to showcase, to show to whoever that you have learned something so this is you record your learning to make students reflect on their own progress, the teaching becomes more effective, you integrate technology. Maybe there are some skills I'm expecting also development not just language skills but communication, creativity and so on.
In the end they are focuses on process and product. Its is to get students to reflect what they do.

How do I grade?
You have to find where isi the evidence of learning, we have to make sure if it is complete, if it is organized and the quality of the work.

Flipgrid

valesca_alencar — 2019-04-06 00:34:51 UTC
