Hey what does this do? A precipitous foray into the flipped, blended learning classroom for ESL learners. One of my first challenges occurred when I set up my Google Classroom site; I needed my IT support to enable some features for me. The site is easy enough to figure out; however, but it took some playing around before I could figure out how to add adult ESL learners. GAFE vs ONENOTE vs MOODLE vs EDMODO. It’s what the students can do with it, how the tech can help drive their learning forward. I recen...

SAMR + SmartBoard: Reflections on a Webinar | jennfireblendedlearning

Hey what does this do? A precipitous foray into the flipped, blended learning classroom for ESL learners. SAMR SmartBoard: Reflections on a Webinar. 8221; Then, for a split second, I wondered if the mute button was really working, given that the tech that night had so far been a bit wonky. I will record it again, myself. I’ve been collecting my webinars and uploading them to my webpage at weebly. Smartboard is a tool that can be used in any number of ways – it all depends on the instructor. Now you begin...

Summer of Tech… | jennfireblendedlearning
https://jennfireblendedlearning.wordpress.com/2015/08/04/summer-of-tech
Hey what does this do? A precipitous foray into the flipped, blended learning classroom for ESL learners. Summer of Tech…. My last day with the students was a week ago. I am without a class until after Labour Day. You might think that I’d take a breather, step back, shut down (or at least reboot), but nah… I see the next 5-6 weeks as a prime opportunity to jump online and take a close look at what’s going on in EdTech. Twitter – What Would I Do Without You? MOOC – Some Progress. Yes, I know that I’...

iPads in the Classroom – Yea, Nay, or Meh? | jennfireblendedlearning

Hey what does this do? A precipitous foray into the flipped, blended learning classroom for ESL learners. IPads in the Classroom – Yea, Nay, or Meh? 8221; Opposite this story, which I read immediately, was this one: “ Glued to the Screen: A Third Grade Class where Kids Spend 75% of the Day on an iPad”. The two stories were on opposite ends of the tech-in-the-classroom spectrum. Both stories had good arguments. And then there’s this one: They’re Not Paperweights: An iPad Program that Works. You are commen...

Tech Toolbox | jennfireblendedlearning
https://jennfireblendedlearning.wordpress.com/2015/06/30/tech-toolbox
Hey what does this do? A precipitous foray into the flipped, blended learning classroom for ESL learners. I’ve been following the buzz on Flipboard re: tech in the classroom. Seems the consensus is not to simply use tech for tech’s sake. This leads back to a blogging challenge question I tried to answer last year. I think the question was something like “should curriculum drive technology or should technology drive the curriculum? 8221; I believe most instructors would prefer the former. My students crea...

Hey what does this do? A precipitous foray into the flipped, blended learning classroom for ESL learners. Monthly Archives: December 2014. Grind to a halt…. From techie to 1800s. I used to take some good-natured ribbing from colleagues about being a techie (their label, not mine). I use it, er, used it, in the classroom daily. I had a Smartboard, access to a computer lab, and an active, relevant Learning Management System. I’m not the only instructor who has received an assignment that is so far off what...

Hey what does this do? A precipitous foray into the flipped, blended learning classroom for ESL learners. Monthly Archives: February 2015. It’s Not How You Start…. Day 28: Should technology drive curriculum, or vice versa? I originally tried to fit the tech into the curriculum, but now have found it much easier to prepare the course around a LMS, giving the learners plenty of opportunity to use it, to familiarize themselves with it, and to practice in a safe environment (especially the “chat”...I have be...

Hey what does this do? A precipitous foray into the flipped, blended learning classroom for ESL learners. Word Up – on SAMR, that is…. Technology for Technology’s Sake. If you’ve been reading the latest e-learning articles and blogs, you’ll note that the current in vogue ideas of technology in the classroom is that the tech used needs to serve some kind of purpose. Why is this particular tech being used? How does it play out in the overall learning objectives? Who’s Your Audience? Using a WORD document, ...
