Editor's Notes

  1. Poll Title: How tech savvy are you? http://www.polleverywhere.com/multiple_choice_polls/bTPnBD7S0XCXUux
  2. Now lets say that youd like results a little more quickly instantly even. I know at U of T, students buy an iClicker. Its much like the Ask the Audience on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Im sure most of us have seen that. Of course, these cost $35 a pop and only work in a networked room to the iClicker software and are registered by student number. Its all too costly and complicated for most language learning environments. In lieu of this, you can do the same thing with a website and cell phones. The site is free to use and doesnt charge anything to the participants. The only cost that could possibly be involved is the stardard charge your phone company charges for one text message (on my plan, I have unlimited texting ability, but for others, Ive seen at most a 15cent charge by Rogers). The service we are using is serious about privacy. I cannot see your phone numbers, and youll never receive follow-up text messages outside this presentation. Theres only one thing worse than email spam and thats text message spam because you have to pay to receive it! Ive done this several times and I never received any follow-up texts or phone calls and no charges.
  3. Lexical sets *Great way to introduce a topic w/ lexis Word Families *Show Ss how many a root word can be extended into a family *Introduce frequency of words Pre-reading tasks *The frequency shown can help Ss activate schema and background knowledge. *Ss can scan the Wordle image for unknown words *Ss can skim the article to find the most frequent words from Wordle *Ss can work together to try to determine how these words are related and therefore what the article may be about. Word frequency in S writing *Input S writing into Wordle *Can identify repetitive words ; areas to work on, find synonyms for Critical thinking Exercises *Ss need to work together to figure out how the words are related to each other *Give Ss a specific task (ie. Divide the words into correct vs incorrect spelling)
