Day 3 Homework Screencast
I found this art / history on Khan Academy, one of the prolific suppliers of educational videos we learnt in class, which poses an example of how to use Screencast as an educational tool and potentially integrating this tool into one's blog for extracurricular purposes.
1) Sign up for one of the services we looked at today.

2) Create a Screencast sample. (i.e. something that you might be able to use with a class.) Embed the result in a post on your blog and comment on how you could see this working for your class.

Day 3 Reading Tomalin (2008)
Tomalin, B. (2008). "Making culture happen in the English language classroom". Teaching English BBC. Retrieved from http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/articles/making-culture-happen-english-language-classroom on 23 July 2012.
I find it interesting that the writer of the article links cultural awareness to emotional intelligence. It is true, of course, since the incorporation of the cultural elements of the target language in the language classroom not only makes the language intellectually relevant, but also emotionally evocative. This is especially true in the case of using universal languages such as art and music. I have found that using music in my Spanish classrooms became an enjoyable experience both for my students and me as a teacher. I have used calming music and uplifting music, and the atmosphere in the classroom was affected according to the type of music I picked. It was fun all around! My sponsor teacher, more so than me, successfully brought elements of culture into her classroom. For example, she had our students make tacos in class and eat them.

Practical Tips (all link can be found on Gordon's blog here)
Practical Tips (all link can be found on Gordon's blog here)
- To skip ads at the beginning of youtube videos : adblock
- youtube for schools will give tips on how to chop off beginning/end of movie. See here
- Destinos and other telenovelas: can be used for the classroom or professional development on one's own :)
- Khan Academy - serious, relevant lessons - Languages section "flipping the classroom": direct instruction happens at home with students watching a video, and students bring their questions to the classroom where the homework is also completed
- Common European Framework of Reference for Languages - A1, A2 ... C1, C2
- The "Flip" section on TedEd allows educator-teachers to customise the quiz, put open ended questions in Think. A unique link will be created. Can flip any Youtube video.
- learn360, discovery education (school board subscription needed)
- ****Keepvid bookmarklet**** Drag Keepvid bookmarklet towards the top of keepvid.com and drag it up to favourite bar. In the future, when visiting a youtube site, just click on the bookmarklet (because it's a javascript) and the video will be automatically downloaded for you
- ****Quietube**** also has a bookmarklet. It will eliminate the surrounding distractors on the platform on which the youtube video was hosted (useful when linking to a youtube video on teacher's blog for students to click on)
Day 3 Video in the classroom
Discussion of Canning-Wilson's article Practical Aspects of Using Video in the Foreign Language Classroom
- un-inspiring - common sense, writing the article just for something to publish
- common knowledge now was not common knowledge when article was written
