sandymillin 2019-02-06T18:54:45 Anyone know of a decent summer school that doesn't require teachers to have a degree to work there? Thanks! #ELTchat
fionaljp 2019-02-06T19:03:18 Hello #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2019-02-06T19:04:33 @fionaljp Hi @fionaljp - anyone else for #ELTchat this evening? It's a great day to talk about smartphones!
fionaljp 2019-02-06T19:06:12 @Marisa_C Indeed #ELTchat - it's the topic tonight! https://t.co/omDzdfcigL
Marisa_C 2019-02-06T19:08:59 Do most of your students have smartphones? in many cultures most Ss do. Do you make use of them in class? #eltchat… https://t.co/5Ef3FUXpUY
fionaljp 2019-02-06T19:10:15 @Marisa_C Yes, they certainly all do in my classes #ELTchat
fionaljp 2019-02-06T19:11:32 @Marisa_C & yes, I exploit them as a valued resource #eltchat
Marisa_C 2019-02-06T19:11:53 Anyone else joining us? #ELTchat
koomska 2019-02-06T19:12:15 @Marisa_C Good evening - most of our teens have them. #ELTchat
fionaljp 2019-02-06T19:13:01 @koomska @Marisa_C Hello Kate #eltchat Do you use them as a resource in class?
kokahokey 2019-02-06T19:13:21 @Marisa_C Having a smartphone and being digitally literate are two separate things. A Celta trainee recently tried… https://t.co/67zMjIzVkH
Marisa_C 2019-02-06T19:14:29 Te he he - we have our fair share of Turksih refugees but at least they are all teachers and they are good with app… https://t.co/WFD7bLBPyv
koomska 2019-02-06T19:14:31 @fionaljp @Marisa_C Yes we encourage our teachers to. Kahoot is a great favourite! #ELTchat
fionaljp 2019-02-06T19:15:05 @kokahokey @Marisa_C What a shame as such a nice idea! Yes, you need to pave the way - i.e. ensure they all have QR… https://t.co/S0rR9K1kWS
Marisa_C 2019-02-06T19:17:01 Which one is the best QR code reader pls? #eltchat your recommended one?
kokahokey 2019-02-06T19:17:05 @fionaljp @Marisa_C Yes... caused a lot of confusion and wasted time  #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2019-02-06T19:21:58 Very quiet tonight - I thought more people would be interested - #ELTchat
fionaljp 2019-02-06T19:22:40 @kokahokey @Marisa_C Oh well, it’s a learning curve #ELTchat Hope they continue exploring the idea though - QR code… https://t.co/1bQVvM169E
koomska 2019-02-06T19:24:08 @fionaljp @kokahokey @Marisa_C I keep promising myself I’ll experiment with them more #ELTchat
fionaljp 2019-02-06T19:25:02 @Marisa_C Well, it depends on what phone you have - your app store will show you free ones. #ELTchat This is mine: https://t.co/Mm0YODlGCX
HerrGiannis 2019-02-06T19:25:53 @Marisa_C My students have smartphones but they don't use it in the classroom. They get easily distracted #ELTchat
koomska 2019-02-06T19:26:47 @fionaljp @Marisa_C Thanks downloaded #ELTchat
fionaljp 2019-02-06T19:27:26 @HerrGiannis @Marisa_C Hello Mr John #ELTchat
koomska 2019-02-06T19:28:07 @HerrGiannis @Marisa_C I heard a good talk by Gavin Dudeney on how to use them without distraction. First tip turn… https://t.co/cppm8kjbjy
fionaljp 2019-02-06T19:28:35 Maybe we could talk about teachers’ attitudes to phones & tech? #eltchat
Marisa_C 2019-02-06T19:28:54 @HerrGiannis Could you set aside some smartphone time and use this as a motivating factor ? #ELTchat
fionaljp 2019-02-06T19:29:54 @Marisa_C @HerrGiannis Yes, give them a specific task e.g. checking answers using a QR code #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2019-02-06T19:29:57 @koomska @HerrGiannis Good advice #ELTchat Any other tips?
koomska 2019-02-06T19:31:22 @fionaljp I think the key is to be clear about when and why they are used. #ELTchat
jimscriv 2019-02-06T19:34:15 @Marisa_C The iPhone camera automatically detects QR codes and offers to open websites. No other app needed. #ELTchat
fionaljp 2019-02-06T19:34:38 @Marisa_C @koomska @HerrGiannis Explore the potential of apps yourself as a teacher #ELTchat Assess how they will support/ enhance learning
Marisa_C 2019-02-06T19:35:25 @jimscriv Welcome I didn't know that thanks! #eltchat - recent upadte?
koomska 2019-02-06T19:35:30 @Marisa_C @HerrGiannis Positive code of conduct. Also asking students to take a photo to illustrate a topic for class. #ELTchat
koomska 2019-02-06T19:36:17 @jimscriv @Marisa_C Thanks! #ELTchat
fionaljp 2019-02-06T19:36:24 @jimscriv @Marisa_C Amazing - didn’t know that but just remembered - Facebook has a built-in QR code reader #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2019-02-06T19:36:49 @jimscriv I prefer to use my table for class use - find phone screen too tiny #eltchat but can usually find same apps for both
Marisa_C 2019-02-06T19:37:08 tablet #ELTchat as in iPad https://t.co/poO7htrw3Q
Marisa_C 2019-02-06T19:38:18 Has anyone tried @Plotagon ? Have seen some great stuff made but haven't myself #Eltchat
MoreMsJackson 2019-02-06T19:39:10 @koomska @Marisa_C @HerrGiannis Also, photos of the board can be useful at times (eg. the HW, some error correction… https://t.co/ia90n9HWWw
koomska 2019-02-06T19:39:19 Great app for making video with YLs is tellagami. Students create an avatar and voice record then you export to iMovie  #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2019-02-06T19:39:25 looks to me like most teachers tend to use kahoot and may be quizlet but not much else #eltchat
fionaljp 2019-02-06T19:39:31 @koomska Absolutely! #ELTchat Here’s a great blog post by @NikPeachey in answer: https://t.co/MCfJ6KcCJS
koomska 2019-02-06T19:40:04 @Marisa_C @Plotagon Not heard of this. #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2019-02-06T19:40:20 i used to say no to that just one character but it's a great tool actually Thanks for reminder #ELTchat https://t.co/2zZyM664Ym
Marisa_C 2019-02-06T19:41:00 @koomska @Plotagon Animation tool - effect better than Xtranormal now Nawmal #ELTchat
koomska 2019-02-06T19:41:17 @Marisa_C Agree and often Kahoot is overused in my experience #ELTchat
koomska 2019-02-06T19:42:06 @Marisa_C @Plotagon Thanks will investigate #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2019-02-06T19:42:25 What about Ss' smartphone video cameras - any suggestion for them using? #ELTchat
fionaljp 2019-02-06T19:43:52 @koomska @Marisa_C Maybe that’s a reflection of their own rather limited personal use of tech as a teacher #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2019-02-06T19:45:14 @Shaunwilden trying to put sone to bed - invited him to share some tweets later in #slowburn mode #eltchat - sorry… https://t.co/tqkbTE7866
koomska 2019-02-06T19:46:00 @fionaljp @Marisa_C Maybe and sometimes using ready made quizzes as a ‘treat’ for teens. #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2019-02-06T19:46:16 @fionaljp @koomska Could be - but I am like that in some ways - i tend to use more browser based tools than smartph… https://t.co/wqvZEtHjdM
Shaunwilden 2019-02-06T19:46:31 Lots but you’ve got to be careful with permissions to film etc #eltchat https://t.co/e3eJ4CbVwY
koomska 2019-02-06T19:47:50 @Shaunwilden Good point #ELTChat
Shaunwilden 2019-02-06T19:49:33 Yes it’s one of my favourite apps. The educational version is useful as well. App great for a whole manner of thing… https://t.co/fNESdSuo7E
Shaunwilden 2019-02-06T19:50:40 Overused maybe but it does give useful feedback on the students responses #eltchat https://t.co/91W1KEZP1p
fionaljp 2019-02-06T19:50:56 @Marisa_C @koomska Well, it is all tech #ELTchat @ResearchBites have a really interesting article exploring the rel… https://t.co/o6lf87SZKv
kokahokey 2019-02-06T19:53:15 @koomska @Marisa_C Kahoot surveys are good for getting discussions going #ELTchat
koomska 2019-02-06T19:53:20 @Shaunwilden I agree - our summer students love it too, features very high in the list of what enjoy in feedback questionnaires! #ELTchat
koomska 2019-02-06T19:54:29 @fionaljp @Marisa_C @ResearchBites Thanks will have a read #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2019-02-06T19:58:13 #ELTchat (hasjtag!!!! :-D) https://t.co/PZIFRwwBwc
Marisa_C 2019-02-06T19:58:56 tiny screen can't spell at all tonight #ELTchat

Marisa_C 2019-02-06T19:59:34 #eltchat what other criteria are important ?  e.g. should the app be free? What else?
ELTchat 2019-02-06T20:01:20 Let's see what other apps and smartphone tools we hear about in the next several hours on #slowburn #ELTchat
fionaljp 2019-02-06T20:01:33 @Marisa_C Padlet is one of my all time favourites because of it versatility #ELTchat https://t.co/SITRafp1Ln
Marisa_C 2019-02-06T20:02:19 Got to go good folks am beat and have a very ealry call tomorrow - thanks for joining us on #ELTchat
Shaunwilden 2019-02-06T20:02:23 Free might be an issue ie is it going to bombard the students with ads or ask them to sign up so the app gets their… https://t.co/KRIccqJFda
koomska 2019-02-06T20:02:24 @Marisa_C Ideally one which has android and IOS versions. #ELTchat
fionaljp 2019-02-06T20:03:09 @koomska @Marisa_C Definitely important for inclusivity #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2019-02-06T20:03:11 @Shaunwilden and it might go bust very quickly   remember xtranormal and so many other great tools #ELTchat
koomska 2019-02-06T20:03:40 @fionaljp @Marisa_C We use padlet for our Global Young Leaders programme. Someone told me it’s no longer free though? #ELTchat
koomska 2019-02-06T20:04:41 @Marisa_C Have a good evening #ELTChat
kokahokey 2019-02-06T20:04:50 @Marisa_C The best apps are those not requiring internet access, like Plickers (only the teacher needs a phone) #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2019-02-06T20:05:40 @koomska @fionaljp love this app - i pay so i don't know but i have dozens of them i didn't want to lose #eltchat
fionaljp 2019-02-06T20:05:59 @koomska @Marisa_C .. and the SAMR model is a good framework for evaluating tech tools #ELTchat https://t.co/tMrCx0EWv4
koomska 2019-02-06T20:07:15 Thanks for a great chat.  #ELTchat
