WEEK 2 posts
Hello,
I fould all the below very fruitful, but I did not see much about ABCD digitally. It's pretty obvious that ABCD taxonomy method applies to any course. It is more difficult to rethink it and construct it also digitally. My first try,let's test thy...
A:
Aged 15-18
3rd(last)year undergraduate ballet academy(college)students.
Mixed Eng(basic-interm)level.
GE course: f.e. Grammar with "Round-up" 3.
3 groups 2h per week each
1 group - 6 girls: 2 interm, 2 pre-interm 2 basic
2 group - 2 boys: 1 pre-inter, 1 very basic
3 group - 7 girls: 3 interm,1 pre-interm, 3 basic
Digitally: Average-all groups are basic.
Study motivation - low and average.Mostly in-class work.
B:based on LOTS
F.e.one of the objectives sets(cognitive application)is:
Given the examples of words (nouns and verbs)and its collocations(from R-U3), all students should be able to recognize them in the given sentences, to translate or paraphrase them and make up at least 1 own sentence using these collocations with suitable accuracy or minimum errors.
Every advanced student of the group should construct,write and read 2-3 coherent simple sentences(a text)with at least one of these collocations without any grammar,spelling,pronuciation mistakes.
All other students should listen and then ask 1 question on each text consequently without grammar/tense/pronuciation mistakes.
Digitally: Internet/e-Dictionary search.
Be able to google correctly at least 1 of these word collocations in 20 minutes. Or find correctly at least 1 key word of the collocation in Lingvo 10.0 or any on-line dictionary in 40 minutes.
C:In class only, with the teacher, with the textbook. Individual work with students and communicative approach.
Collaborative activity with Internet in class. and at least 1 device per group (student's or teacher's PC or Communicator).
D: Aveage Target Degrees for the above objective:
1 group - 2/90%,2/70%,2/50%.
2 group - 1/50%,2/20%.
3 group - 4/80%,3/50%
Now I feel it will take me long hours to design the project for that classes, Alas..

Webskills e-teaching overview :Weeks one and two are over, due...
So, I feel happy to join that course now as I've learned lot's of new information on teaching methods and theory, such are Rubrics (W1), ABCD taxonomy and digitally (fitting to CALL) (W2). And I could try to apply it to my ballet students course to start in September...Hope so.
As for Webtools information, up now, there is really a litte new for me, as Nicenet, Blogs, Googledoc/sites, search engines and so on. The only exception is SnapGrades : I use Exel table or any googledocs one instead for students grading (it's pretty time-eating and even 'harsh' 'side of the moon' 4me,BTW).
See what alse could we get.
P.S. I suppose to copy here some of my Nicenet discussion posts and project drafts...
