01LPearson 2015-01-21T20:53:42 What's the topic tonight? #eltchat
naomishema 2015-01-21T20:57:36 @SueAnnan Hi Sue! This is strange, I don't see your welcome message on #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T20:59:24 Best practices for online classrooms; tips for engaging Ss tonight on #eltchat
ELTchat 2015-01-21T20:59:39 RT @SueAnnan: Best practices for online classrooms; tips for engaging Ss tonight on #eltchat
01LPearson 2015-01-21T20:59:43 Hi all. #eltchat
naomishema 2015-01-21T20:59:49 @SueAnnan Afraid I can't stick around,  too much to do before finally going to bed...It's 11 pm here! #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:00:05 evening Naomi and Luke #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:00:57 Do you use online classrooms with your students? or have you been students yourselves? #eltchat
01LPearson 2015-01-21T21:01:45 I'm afraid that I've not had much experience with either of these and may therefore have to mostly lurk! #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-01-21T21:02:23 RT @Marisa_C: Hi everyone - great to see you all I thought I had been all #eltchatted for today but no.... :-) #eltchat
Shaunwilden 2015-01-21T21:02:24 RT @Marisa_C: Hi everyone - great to see you all I thought I had been all #eltchat ted for today but no.... :-)

SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:02:46 I think that some online courses feel quite sterile and would be interested in what can be done to motivate sts #eltchat
01LPearson 2015-01-21T21:02:58 What's this I hear about a Google hagout chat? #eltchat
Shaunwilden 2015-01-21T21:03:30 @01LPearson good to see you’ve been paying attention :-) #eltchat
theteacherjames 2015-01-21T21:03:46 Hello everyone. My first #ELTchat in ages!
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:03:51 Hi Shaun and Marisa #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-01-21T21:04:14 @01LPearson We had out first one today with Nicky Hockly visiting expert on tech :-) #eltchat
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:04:15 Hi all - good to catch up with #ELTchat after a few months break - great hangout today
01LPearson 2015-01-21T21:04:46 @Marisa_C Sounds really good! Was it on the website? How did I miss it? #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-01-21T21:04:49 @theteacherjames Welcome back oh James :-D #eltchat we have mythed ya
Shaunwilden 2015-01-21T21:05:35 @01LPearson @Marisa_C you can catch the replay here http://t.co/BXkTejRe0s #eltchat
theteacherjames 2015-01-21T21:05:49 @Marisa_C well I’ve mythed you too! #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:06:31 Hi James. Loved the photos of you with the triplets :-) #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-01-21T21:07:05 The question was about engaging Ss online - is that so different for engaging them off line? #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:07:47 I think it might be harder when you are not face to face #eltchat
Shaunwilden 2015-01-21T21:07:57 @01LPearson we advertised to everywhere :-) It took place in a google hangout #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-01-21T21:08:39 @SueAnnan perhaps we might talk abt diff modes - synchronous vs asynchronous and what in each? #eltchat
Shaunwilden 2015-01-21T21:09:19 @01LPearson no was sth we’ve been working on for a while, hopefully there will be another one at some point #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:10:00 most courses I've done have been synchronous. I think these are more fast moving. #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:10:55 How do you keep sts motivated when they are working alone? #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-01-21T21:11:57 @SueAnnan me too - on the few moodle crss i have designed I have always tried to bring in fun apps or images at the top of sections #eltchat
01LPearson 2015-01-21T21:12:06 @SueAnnan Surely, you have motivateing materials (authentic texts) -> help the students to achieve waht they thought they couldn't? #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-01-21T21:12:48 @SueAnnan I am generally against the serious and dedicated tone #eltchat - I think poetry, images and humor engage more #eltchat
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:12:59 @Marisa_C in the HO u talked about creating group cohesion - f2f,this happens naturally -with coffee! + T warm-up tricks... #ELTchat
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:13:15 @Marisa_C ...but can be hard to adapt to online forum #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:14:39 I agree with @Marisa_C that images have a lot of power #eltchat
theteacherjames 2015-01-21T21:14:53 @SueAnnan I wonder about that. I try very hard to motivate my sts, I imagine it’s harder online. #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:15:18 @theteacherjames I like to look them in the eye #eltchat
theteacherjames 2015-01-21T21:16:25 A large part of motivation and engagement must come from peers who they are more disconnected from online, surely. #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2015-01-21T21:16:29 @SueAnnan @eilymurphy @theteacherjames Here is a great list I found recently - i use a lot of this #eltchat
theteacherjames 2015-01-21T21:17:13 @SueAnnan yes, it must take a lot of work to develop online #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2015-01-21T21:17:32 @theteacherjames @SueAnnan it's harder online true - a balance btwn structure & fun is hard to find #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-01-21T21:18:11 Here is a great list I found recently - i use a lot of this #eltchat http://t.co/EX1W5i0HB3
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:18:27 I find that online really doesn't suit some people, because they just aren't engaged #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-01-21T21:19:44 I also find I have to plan myself out of centre stage MORE or else online training can get T-centred #eltchat
SWMOELL 2015-01-21T21:19:57 RT @Marisa_C: Here is a great list I found recently - i use a lot of this #eltchat http://t.co/EX1W5i0HB3
theteacherjames 2015-01-21T21:20:11 @SueAnnan I suppose the temptation to miss a class is a lot stronger #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:20:44 I imagine that the tutor is important at the start and then less so as the peer group gets to know each other #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-01-21T21:20:55 @theteacherjames @SueAnnan it is :-) #eltchat and you also need frequent checks to ake sure they re not raiding the fridge :-) #eltchat
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:21:50 @theteacherjames did MOOC recently -found comments from peers  most motivating- how to ask questions that generate active forums?? #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:22:04 what do you do if deadlines get missed? #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-01-21T21:22:50 @Shaunwilden am checking on you now - are you there or playing with baby? #eltchat
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:23:53 @SueAnnan agree Sue - the secret lies here - how to get Ss to take ownership step by step #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-01-21T21:24:25 We use adobe connect pro for classes, wiggio for communication and pbworks for resources - so multiple platforms here #ELTchat what about u?
theteacherjames 2015-01-21T21:24:25 @eilymurphy Must take work to get the feeling of peer motivation. I did a mooc too & I didn’t spend much time in the forms, tbh #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:25:18 @theteacherjames @eilymurphy I've done MOOCs where the sheer numbers were quite off putting #eltchat
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:26:17 @theteacherjames had rlly good experience - MOOC forum generated a splinter FB group - started when we had to solve tech pb #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-01-21T21:26:40 @eilymurphy i don't think grp cohesion comes naturally - on rare occasions it does yes - you have to work on it usually #eltchat
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:27:20 @SueAnnan @theteacherjames again you're right, smaller splinter FB group was better and more focussed #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:28:38 @eilymurphy did all of the people participate more in small group? #eltchat
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:28:52 @Marisa_C looking through your list for ideas which could be adapted for Edmodo - looks good! #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-01-21T21:29:40 @eilymurphy it's a great list and works well on various platforms - wiggio is a grown up edmodo sort of #eltchat
SeriousTeachers 2015-01-21T21:29:59 New teaching job! #british #teachers #newyork #keltchat #eltmaterials #tesol #eltchat #auselt #ukedchat http://t.co/NinlmksCnl
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:30:19 @SueAnnan focus of questions shifted slightly once tutors were not there- pbly more motivated/experienced Ts participated too #eltchat
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:31:15 @Marisa_C intend to check this out tomorrow - v interested Tx - does it have library option? #ELTchat
languageeteach 2015-01-21T21:31:33 RT @Marisa_C: Here is a great list I found recently - i use a lot of this #eltchat http://t.co/EX1W5i0HB3
Marisa_C 2015-01-21T21:32:23 @eilymurphy it has files - yes - and it also has text chat - polls - and even a webconferencing option #eltchat i love it
languageeteach 2015-01-21T21:32:45 RT @Shaunwilden: If you missed the hangout you can now see the recording on http://t.co/JdbaJ85fZX #eltchat
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:33:04 @Marisa_C mmm - polls - good way to engage Ss ? #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-01-21T21:33:13 @eilymurphy looks much less like facebook and adults tend to like it more #eltchat (because of this)
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:33:30 do you think that online pairwork would help with motivation? That way someone is dependent on you #eltchat
theteacherjames 2015-01-21T21:33:43 @eilymurphy @SueAnnan Was everyone on the course a teacher? Might explain higher engagement (or am I giving ts too much credit?!) #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2015-01-21T21:33:51 @eilymurphy and an 'availability; option is, say, u want to organise a buzz group in text chat mode #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:34:29 @theteacherjames @eilymurphy too much credit. I know some who slack off if they are left alone #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-01-21T21:34:47 Giving @wiggio a great shoutout - my trainees (and their tutor) love it! #eltchat
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:35:43 @theteacherjames @SueAnnan everyone who joined splinter FB group was a T interested in CPD - so yes, good starting point I guess #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-01-21T21:35:57 I'm going to have to love you and leave you guys - am exhausted after build up to google hangout and meetings etc #Eltchat Good night all
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:37:20 @Marisa_C Job well done! and Tx for all the hard work #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:40:06 so are we saying that the number of participants might be important?#eltchat
theteacherjames 2015-01-21T21:40:22 @Marisa_C thanks M, enjoy some well deserved shut eye! #ELTchat
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:40:56 @SueAnnan @theteacherjames what do u think of making online part of course mandatory e.g. access material only online? too much? #eltchat
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:42:15 @SueAnnan my Edmodo groups of 3 are too small I think, but 300 is too many! #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:44:42 got colleagues about to do online DIp, but asking for f2f workshops as well . #eltchat
theteacherjames 2015-01-21T21:45:32 @eilymurphy @SueAnnan I guess it’s understandable if you have low engagement. Not ideal though. #ELTchat
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:46:55 @SueAnnan blended is best  I think - excuse the silly question - what's Dlp? #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:47:13 @theteacherjames @eilymurphy It limits things I feel #eltchat
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:48:19 @theteacherjames @SueAnnan yeah I perfer the carrot to the stick - gotta find the right carrot!! :D #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:48:49 @eilymurphy @theteacherjames  some people need a bit of both though #eltchat
theteacherjames 2015-01-21T21:50:52 @eilymurphy @SueAnnan hehe, makes a change to talk about carrots, we’re normally talking about parsnips :-) #ELTchat
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:51:03 @SueAnnan @theteacherjames   Ha-ha  -even grown-ups! #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:51:39 @theteacherjames @eilymurphy LOL #eltchat
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:52:06 @theteacherjames @SueAnnan You know, those parsnips might add a dash of provocation to online to boost engagement #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:53:48 @eilymurphy But you need to be careful. ONline material lives on for ever... #eltchat
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:54:04 looked at gamification last year - badges/brownie points for online participation -felt it wouldn't rlly suit my French business SS #ELTchat
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:54:36 @SueAnnan true - wise words #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:55:10 @eilymurphy Yes. I know what you mean. I don't think adults really benefit from badges #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:55:58 Only a few minutes left. Did we make any startling findings? #eltchat
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:56:30 think everyone has gone to bed - I'll be checking out wiggio #eltchat
theteacherjames 2015-01-21T21:57:10 @SueAnnan @eilymurphy I find it hard to be motivated by them. Some apps use them & generally I find it a bit annoying #ELTchat
01LPearson 2015-01-21T21:57:16 @eilymurphy Wiggio does look pretty cool! Kinda wish I had onlinne classes to try it with now! lol #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T21:58:32 would either of you like to write the summary? #eltchat
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:58:41 @theteacherjames @SueAnnan they are patronising!  I prefer what Nicky said about real feedback/praise from online tutor #ELTchat
theteacherjames 2015-01-21T21:59:03 @eilymurphy @SueAnnan so which one of the 3 us is going to do the summary? ☺ #ELTchat
01LPearson 2015-01-21T21:59:52 sorry,can't this time. Report writing at work and since I've never done one before I really want to spend a while on it when I do! #eltchat
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T21:59:57 @SueAnnan will summary have to include everything in hangout ? #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T22:00:02 @theteacherjames @eilymurphy @01LPearson #eltchat
01LPearson 2015-01-21T22:00:21 #eltchat sorry! :)
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T22:00:26 @eilymurphy No just tonight's chat #ELTchat such as it was
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T22:01:22 @SueAnnan OK , sounds doable for a first time- can I email it to you over the weekend?  #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T22:01:28 @eilymurphy I can get the transcript to you and there's no rush #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T22:01:48 @eilymurphy Brilliant. you are a star. #eltchat
01LPearson 2015-01-21T22:02:03 #eltchat! Thanks all, see you wednesday, at 1GMT right?
eilymurphy 2015-01-21T22:02:22 @SueAnnan what a relief to only have 5 or 6 participants for once then !!! #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T22:02:23 at 12GMT #eltchat
01LPearson 2015-01-21T22:02:50 @SueAnnan Thanks! always get my timezones mixed up! #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T22:03:19 @eilymurphy right . I'll get to it now and send you the link on here when I have it ready for you. #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T22:03:33 @01LPearson No problem #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-01-21T22:04:05 goodnight everyone. Thanks for being here  #eltchat
