Storytelling for the YouTube generation

Storytelling for the YouTube generation

silent film lesson Video is often used in the EFL classroom for listening comprehension activities, facilitating discussions and, of course, language work. But how can you exploit silent films without any language in them? Since developing learners' linguistic resources should be our primary goal (well, at least the blogger behind the blog thinks so), here are four suggestions on how language (grammar and vocabulary) can be generated from silent clips. Split-viewing Split-viewing is an information gap activity where the class is split into groups with one group facing the screen and the other with their back to the screen. The ones facing the screen than report on what they have seen - this can be done WHILE as well as AFTER they watch. See Dimitris Primalis's post about split-viewing and other information gap activities on Vicky Loras's blog. Procedure Show the movie till 2:46 (till the end of the dream sequence). Language ask for some sugar Note that I don't pre-teach language. Really split viewing Language

Film Education | Home Video - Shelly Sanchez Terrell Video Projects for Digital Learners "Humans are incredibly visual and powerful, moving images help us find meaning… [and] video helps capture and contextualize the world around us." - Dan Patterson Some of the most popular apps and social networks (Periscope, Instagram, Youtube, etc.) make it easy for anyone to quickly produce, publish, and share their videos. Tips Before your students begin creating their videos make sure they consider their audience and know their camera settings.Introduce students to the Rule of Thirds.When I’ve had students create videos, the process generally includes getting them to brainstorm; create, gather, and/or remix content; record; edit; and produce or publish the video somewhere.Storyboards help students brainstorm the characters, dialogue, plot, setting, props, background music, and special effects for their video projects.

"The Fantastic Flying Books" Taxonomía de Bloom para la Era Digital Andrew Churches Descargue este documento en formato PDF La Taxonomía de Bloom y la Taxonomía Revisada de Bloom [1] son herramientas clave para los docentes y los encargados del diseño de capacitaciones. Benjamín Bloom publicó la taxonomía original en los años de 1950 y Lorin Anderson y Krathwohl le hicieron revisiones en el 2000 [1]. Pero desde la más reciente publicación de la taxonomía han ocurrido muchos cambios y desarrollos que deben tenerse en cuenta. Esta es entonces una actualización de la Taxonomía Revisada de Bloom [1] que atiende los nuevos comportamientos, acciones y oportunidades de aprendizaje que aparecen a medida que las TIC (Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones) avanzan y se vuelven más omnipresentes. Tanto la Taxonomía Original como la revisada por Anderson y Krathwohl [1] se centran en el dominio cognitivo. Esta taxonomía para la era digital no se enfoca en las herramientas y en las TIC, pues éstas son apenas los medios.

He has partnered with three curriculum companies including Pearson, MacMillan, and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt as part of his vision for making Knewton the adaptive learning tool that will make textbooks obsolete. This “adaptive learning will help each user find the exact right piece of content needed, in the exact right format, at the exact right time, based on previous patterns of use… Knewton, at base, is a recommendation engine but for learning. Knewton works as you might suspect, it begins with a test to see what a student already knows. But students have names.
