Skype in the Classroom del 1 - Mystery Skype - Hur funkar det? Jag tror att alla vi språklärare vill få in så mycket autencitet i vår undervisning som det bara går. Själv har jag försökt med eTwinning, penpals och lingofriends för att få in det här elementet i min undervisning. Tyvärr, inte med lysande resultat. Genom eTwinning fick vi aldrig igång något utbyte och lingofriends tog tid och många förfrågningar var oseriösa. Under de senaste åren har jag byggt upp ett nätverk av vänner och lärare utomlands som jag gärna tar hjälp av min undervisning. Förra året fick jag syn på Skype in the Classroom som är en del av Skype som riktar sig till lärare, elever och skolor. I inloggningsskedet anger man sina uppgifter och berättar mer om vem man är. Hur kan man då använda Skype in the Classroom i sin undervisning? Mystery Skype Mystery Skype innebär att två klasser skypar med varandra och försöker att genom frågor till varandra ta reda på var respektive klass befinner sig. Man kan direkt på sidan klicka på brevsymbolen för att göra en förfrågan.

En deckarhistoria med digitala verktyg Mina åttor har läst olika typer av deckare, bland annat Man kan bara bli hängd en gång och Ridån går upp. Den senare blev de mycket fästa vid och gav dessutom ett bra diskussionsunderlag. Vanligtvis skriver eleverna egna deckare, men tiden är knapp så här i slutet av terminen. Istället för att skriva en hel och omfattande deckare, blev alternativet att gestalta sig själv som huvudperson i valfri deckargenre. Historien skulle berättas i en Thinglink. Ett exempel med aktiva länkar finns här. Välja karaktär: Pusseldeckarens smarta detektiv, en hårdkokt snut, en psykopat eller varför inte en mix av alla? För att skapa en interaktiv deckarhistoria behöver du: En selfie och googlade bilder.Alfafunktionen i Pages. Tiden då?

Berättelser som berör Läsårets sista lektion blev passande nog med ett härligt gäng ungdomar som går ut nian. Lektionen bjöd därför på sammanfattande tankar om ämnet svenska. Undervisningen har bland annat haft som syfte att: Utmana tankar genom olika berättelser (i bland annat reportage, krönikor, noveller, romaner, bilder, filmer och verkligheten)Uttrycka dessa tankar och åsikter i tal och skriftIfrågasätta det man ser, läser och hörUtveckla skrivandet i olika typer av texter En bärande grundidé som undervisningen vilar på är att den ska beröra och/eller att det ska upplevas som viktigt. Ämnena och uppgifterna ska kännas angelägna, vare sig det handlar om POLITIK, VÄNSKAP, KÄRLEK, GLÄDJE, SORG, DILEMMAN eller om något annat. Innan jag kunde släppa klassen var jag tvungen att visa en viral succé som jag bara älskar! Filmen kommer jag att använda i undervisningen nästa läsår. Jag visade klippet även i personalrummet där många lärare såg och blev berörda av filmen. Berättelser som berör.
Teaching Your Students How to Have a Conversation I was recently in a third grade classroom and was struck by the presence of rules that were posted for how to have a conversation. The poster said, "Each person must contribute to the discussion but take turns talking. Ask each other, 'Would you like to add to my idea?' or 'Can you tell us what you are thinking?' Ask questions so that you understand each other's ideas. Having visited many middle and high schools, I think these same rules could -- and probably should -- be posted there as well. Maybe you have also observed how common it is nowadays for students to not know how to have a conversation. 8 Tips for Speaking and Listening While it is impossible to know all of the reasons, there is no doubt that learning to listen and talk is an extremely important way to broaden knowledge, enhance understanding and build community. 1. Make a point of having one-to-two minute interactions, one-on-one, at least a few times each week with students who struggle conversationally. "Really?"" 2. 3.
