here is our task for week 3, Hosein Azizvakili and montse veyrat. I post it here and now because i am not able to see the post from Hosein at my community page, what is a little weird to me. Thank you +Hosein for your brilliant exposition! It will be very useful for me, and hope for anyone that take a look to it.

Hi everyone!
This is the video Montse and I recorded for our week 3 assignment.
Here I introduce www.finchpark.com as a resource for TKT trainers.
Montse had a great cooperation with me for recording this video. Thank you so much Montse!

I met Edwin online and introduced how to create a private friend list on Facebook so that you can share your post with only certain friends.

However, the first recording had several black boxes. After spending two days figuring how to fix the problem, I created another one with Edwin's video embedded. I'm sorry, Edwin!

I still have a problem. I used a special cursor--the yellow circle, but it didn't show.

Lots of English mistakes, including "List the name" --- >"Name the list."

Week 3 task ( introducing a resource )
Thank you Nataliia star25016 for finding time to play the role of avery patient learner :)

I am introducing VocabKitchen to Nataliia star25016. Couldn't find a single How to... tutorial on this teaching/learning app, so tried to do my best to explain how Vocab Kitchen works. There is no appropriate vocabulary in my introduction, though I did research on usefull words and phrases for the purpose:

interface, navigation, click on icons, create your account, drag and drop
items from your desktop into your drive, search and install third party apps.,
click on drop - down arrow to view all the folders, some items appear at the
top, undo the action if you must, three-dotted icon provides you with more
actions, etc :)

Will facilitate my learners with the opportunity to learn the above mentioned vocabulary, and will learn them as well. They are not my active vocabulary at the moment.

I introduced a source for creating diagrams/mind maps to Mariia Ruban. Thank you, Mariia Ruban for being patient)))
I used a ready introduction video and can see now that it didn't work well as for sound but the image was good, so everything was rather clear.
Here's the link to the video:

I have again only obliquely addressed the task for this week.

I have again only obliquely addressed the task for this week. The prompt was a request from the Games and Learning Community Group in EDUCAUSE to present a "lightning talk" at their conference in Denver on Nov 1, and do it asynchronously through a recording. The talk is to explain to them how to join EVO Minecraft MOOC and why they would want to do that in the first place. So there was a real audience of English NS peers. I was joined in Zoom by my son who called himself "Teacher Vance" (my Minecraft name) but though that label appeared on my screen during the performance, it came out as a blank icon in the recording. His job in any event was only to run the PPT slide show in full screen, share it in Zoom, and advance the slides for me. Voila le résultat.

Here is my workshop with Eunice!

Here is my workshop with Eunice! I introduced two useful tools for special needs students: "fromtextospeech.com" and "onenote/learningtools".
I find the tool "immersive reading" extremely helpful for this kind of students.

This week, I had a great time working marianna casoria.

This week, I had a great time working marianna casoria. My aim was to introduce her a vocabulary list called NGSL on Quizlet. (https://quizlet.com/263180180/ngsl-flash-cards/)

We also did a quick comparison of Quizlet to another similar tool called Tinycards towards the end of the session. Marianna made a very good point about teaching the learners how to sign up/create an account for the learning tools.

For more information about NGSL, you can visit:
http://www.newgeneralservicelist.org/
(PS: Thanks Phil Brown for introducing me to the list)

I had a great time working with Paula this week! We did a lot of learning and technological problem-solving together.
You can watch her video below (or is it above?) where she showed me how to use WizIQ to teach online. I had never seen the host side of WizIQ before, and I see why she likes the platform so much.
In this very brief video, I talk her through how to share her screen with Zoom.

We didn't give each other feedback about language during the sessions since we didn't have any trouble understanding each other. We welcome our classmates' feedback!

So happy after sharing with Heike Philp the online tool called Voki (www.voki.com). We had fun and learned together the different opportunities that this platform provides to teachers, especially languages teachers.

Please note as well the use of ESP expressions that Heike wrote during the trial.

Thank you for your feedback (if any).

Regards,

In this video I am role modeling week 3 task.

In this video I am role modeling week 3 task. I didn't have a partner and just used Zoom to record a tutorial on how to use Movie Maker (Microsoft) to edit videos. Movie Maker is free.
I would be very happy if you could correct my humble software English. Sometimes the way I explain software is long winded and can be expressed shorter and smarter. I am looking forward to your feedback here in G+

Week 3 Assignment:

Week 3 Assignment:

•Meet one of your colleagues in Zoom and imagine you meet your language learner whom you would like to introduce to a great learner resource online, a website, a piece of software or an app
•Before or after the session watch a YouTube recording of someone explaining a similar website/ software or app
•Note down ESP expressions

Just to make sure I understand the task correctly, may I ask:

1. Is this task somewhat like the one we did in Week 1, just that this time the 'teacher' is talking about a resource online/website/software/app?
2. How does ESP come in? Can you give some examples of ESP for this task?
3. Do we need to take turns to switch our roles as teacher and student?
4. Is there a limit to the timing of each recording?
