Six Social Practices - New Literacies (Beach et al., 2014)

-


Through their innovative book, Beach et al. (2014) have addressed six social practices involved in use of digital tools:

 1. Contexualizing digital texts
2. Making connections between digital texts and people
3. Collaborative understanding and creation of digital texts
4. Adopting alternative modes of communication
5. Adopting alternative perspectives
6. Constructing and enacting identities (p.3).

My question is this - among those above, how many practices do we - educators using digital tools - realize in our classroom?

             This posting introduces three web sites that teachers should know and use in order to carry out effective and efficient learning: Edmodo, iCivics, and National Geographic Kids. (1) Edmodo ( https://www.edmodo.com/ ) Edmodo is a classroom management site that offers teachers ways to create groups in which teachers can invite students, post discussion topics, upload assignments, implement polls, and post alerts. These features can enable teachers and students to form an effective learning community. On top of these in-class managing services, Edmodo has various interests groups in which teachers are encouraged to share ideas, resources, and materials via communicating with other teachers. For example, I am a member of an interest group called "Language Arts," which means all of the messages the group members post are automatically alerted to me. In order to effectively manage classes and share critical ideas, teachers should know and u...

보이스 쓰레드 작성법 - How to Create VoiceThread

Image
이 포스팅은 보이스 쓰레드(VoiceThread) 사용법에 관한 것입니다. 보이스 쓰레드는 클라우드 테크놀로지 사이트로써 사용자들이 목소리를 편리하게 녹음하고, 편집하고, 공유할 수 있습니다. 언어 교육에 관하여 선생님들은 이 사이트를 통해 보다 효율적이고 효과적인 말하기 평가를 수행할 수 있을 것입니다. 또한 보이스 쓰레드는 말하기 평가의 구성타당도 측면에서, 브라운(2010)이 역설한 다섯 가지 말하기 평가요소 (imitative, intensive, responsive, interactive, and extensive speaking)를 모두 평가하는 데 적합한 애플리케이션이 될 것입니다. 자세한 사용법은 아래에 기술된 절차를 참고하시기 바랍니다. This posting is about how to create a voicethread project at voicethread.com. VoiceThread is a cloud-based technology that helps users to create, edit, and share voices. My suggestion for language educators is that teachers can use this application as an speaking assessment tool. With regard to construct-validity of language assessment (Brown, 2010), the scopes of speaking proficiency that VoiceThread can be used for are imitative, intensive, responsive, interactive, and extensive speaking (Brown). Details will be followed. *Reference Brown, H.D. & Abeywickrama, P. (2010). Language assessment: Princi...

미국 생생영어 (10) - Tedious job 너무 지루한 일

  미국 생생영어 - (10) - Tedious job 너무 지루한 일  "Man, it was a tedious job . 아, 그건 너무 지루한 일이었어."  어제 버스에서 옆 부서 에서 일하는 아저씨가 자신이 했던 프로젝트를 말하면서  했던 말이다. 우리는 "it was boring" 이라는 말은 잘 알 고 있지만, tedious 라는 단어는 입 밖으로 잘 나오지 않는다 . 실은 이 단어는 내가 용산에서 미군 동료들과 일할  때 미군 친구들이 많이 쓰던 단어이기도 하다. 군에서 하는 일 중에 반복적이고 단순한 일을 할 때가 있는데 그때마다  미군 친구들은 “ this is so tedious ” 라고 하면서 “아,  이 일은 너무 따분해”  하고 했던 기억에 있다.  다만 boring 과의 차이 점은 boring 은 영화나 드라마가 지루하다의 뜻으로  “that movie was so boring 그 영화는 정말 지루하더라” 과 같이 쓸 수 있지만 tedious 는  일이나 프로젝트에 더 쓴다.  *tedious 의 사전적 의미 (1) ...
