Pedro Vargas submitted work for an alternative activity in his online learning course. He shared a proposed online course project called "Speak it too" along with two documents outlining the distribution of activities by pedagogical approach and relevant aspects of designing online activities. The proposed course focuses on improving English language skills through online resources and interactions. It incorporates activities targeting the four language skills of listening, reading, speaking and writing across various online tools like blogs, wikis, and Google+.
Ruud Janssen discusses how associations can use online tools like Google Apps, Central Desktop, Dropbox, and Google Calendar to connect members, share knowledge, and collaborate virtually. He provides examples of how MPI Netherlands uses these tools to improve chapter operations with fewer resources. Janssen advocates that associations should connect members and open knowledge bases to foster online relationships, conversations, and learning communities among the "G-Generation".

Participants are asked to consider how blogs could be implemented in their own classrooms.
DigELT2015 : Using wikis for continual assessmenteannegrenoble
This document discusses using online tools like pbworks and Google forms to take grammar instruction out of the classroom and facilitate extensive reading and reflective learning. Key points:
- Pbworks wikis are used for students to write up lessons, with the teacher providing online feedback and corrections directly on the wiki.
- Google forms and shared spreadsheets are used for students to create comprehension questionnaires after reading articles.
- Other tools mentioned include Padlet for sharing oral work and organizing poster sessions, and photobabble for vocabulary practice.
- The teacher emphasizes that technology is not a skill itself but a way to facilitate learning and building a personal learning network (PLN) beyond the classroom.
Making good decisions about blended learning march 2017John Hannon
This document summarizes a presentation about making good decisions for blended learning design. It discusses focusing design on student interactions, not just content delivery. It also emphasizes sequencing learning activities strategically to prepare students for assessments. Additionally, it suggests adapting designs over time using Puentedura's SAMR model and drawing on tools like social media, gapminder, and infographics that students already use. The goal is to help educators make informed choices about blended learning to improve student learning experiences and outcomes.

Best Practices for Incorporating an International Collaboration into Your CourseAlexandra M. Pickett
This document summarizes a discussion on best practices for incorporating an international collaboration into an online course. It provides an overview of the benefits of international experiences for students, as well as challenges in accessing such opportunities. Specific strategies are presented for setting up collaborative activities between courses from different institutions using tools like guided reflections, discussions, guest speakers, and joint projects. Lessons from past collaborations emphasize the importance of communication, interactive virtual sessions, and planning for technical issues. Students reported valuing the engagement and exposure to new perspectives the collaborations provided.
The document summarizes how SLOODLE tools were used to support teaching and learning with Second Life across two different classes at the University of the West of Scotland. In one class, Second Life was a core part of the course, while in the other class it was only briefly used. SLOODLE tools allowed students in both classes to collaborate online, present work in Second Life without extensive technical skills, and engage in virtual activities like field trips. The summary provides an overview of how SLOODLE supported different aspects of the two courses like group work, lectures, and student presentations.
This is a presentation for the ICTEV conference on May 24th in Mebourne, Victoria. It outlines how my classroom walls are flattening, some web2.0 tools to try in a virtual classroom.

Slides from Keynote Presentation by Janine Bowes. In this presentation Janine will explore the skills and attributes that an online teacher needs in the 21st century to stay on top of the game. In considering the past two decades of online learning, it is useful to note some underlying principles that are timeless but also to be open to new possibilities.
This document discusses the use of Google Drive to facilitate collaboration on teaching portfolios between workshops. The author held a series of workshops to help faculty develop teaching portfolios but found low participation between sessions. To address this, Google Drive was introduced to allow participants to collaboratively write and provide feedback on portions of their portfolios online. While this afforded asynchronous interaction, one participant noted it was still difficult to prioritize portfolio work without firm deadlines. The author reflects on integrating technology into the workshops and seeks to better understand how to engage participants through collaborative online tools.
The presenter describes different types of technology projects for beginning users called "puddles" and "wells". Puddle projects help students get their feet wet using technology while well projects allow students to learn more deeply. The presenter provides suggestions for web 2.0 tools to use in projects, such as Google Forms, Twitter, and VoiceThread. Sites to post and find project ideas are also listed. The librarian found the presentation helpful to become more knowledgeable about technologies to support teachers.

This document is a personal reflection from a student, Ada Marie S. Tayao, about her experiences taking the EDUC190 course. She discusses that prior to the course, she was not very excited to take it based on friends' experiences. However, over the past 13 days she has learned that technology can enhance teaching beyond just online groups and presentations. She enjoyed the video presentations that showed new technologies being used in other countries. Hands-on activities helped her understand how to properly license and find work. While she has enjoyed the class, she thinks trying more new programs and features would make it even more exciting. Overall, she is happy to be taking the course and eager to learn more about incorporating new technologies into teaching

um pouco surpreendido com a quantidade de trabalho que conseguiu
desenvolver.
Uma nota apenas para referir que, à semelhança do que aconteceu com a
Cristina e com a Inês, e que discutimos aqui no fórum da UC, o seu wiki no
Wikispaces está como privado, ou seja, apenas têm acesso as pessoas que
forem convidadas. Trata-se, fiquei a saber, de uma nova política do
Wikispaces que requer que a conta da pessoa que cria o wiki seja
confirmada. Como a confirmação telefónica está indisponível para
Portugal, a outra hipótese é pagar 1€, coisa que nem todas as pessoas
estão dispostas a fazer quando têm que utilizar o cartão de crédito para
um pagamento com esse valor. A Cristina usou o Google Wallet e correu
bem.
Se quiser que o curso seja aberto, no sentido em que as pessoas possam
aceder aos conteúdos e recursos todos, terá que optar pelo pagamento
referido ou, em alternativa, usar o PBWorks, que também é uma
plataforma wiki bastante boa. A solução mais vantajosa é criar o wiki na
área académica - https://plans.pbworks.com/academic.
Continuação de bom domingo,

8. Speak it too: online course concept
Introduction
Why Speak it too?
To help students to speak English better is the core of this online course.
Internet provides content and new ways to interact and communicate… and language stands
mainly for it: Interaction and communication. Students will have the chance to train the
English language and find a new way of doing it online too.
Objectives
This course has as its main purpose to allow students to find new ways of learning and training
their skills, and mastery of the English language, using resources online.
The full course will be available for everyone, although it was conceived as a subsidiary course
to presencial courses.
Students must engage in a complet set of activities to complete the course, and their progress
depends on the success they have managing the use of a range of resources and tools, from
communication, to sharing, and from bookmarking to real language production.
The four language skills
The course is based on the 4 learning Skills: Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing. For each
of the skills there will be 5 activities and in each activity 5 tasks. Tasks are mainly directed to
the skill to be worked but most of the times students will be working more than one skill at the
same time since we cannot put a language ‘in boxes’.
Communication and interaction
All activities have tasks where students will have to produce artifacts that they then must post
and present to the community.
The activities of sharing and interacting is part of the language learning process since students
must interact and comment the artifacts produced by the others to complete the activities!
9. At the same time students have a Google+ community that work as a general forum where
they can interact with the teacher and with the other students.
The course is asynchronous but at the Google+ community there’s a chance to try some
hangouts or other online interactions.
Length and schedule
All activities were conceived as single learning units that will take from 60 to 120 minutes to be
completed, depending on the mastery of both the tools and the English language, and the
amount of time students spend looking for information on the net. They must also have time
to go over the other students’ posts on every individual blog.
The full course will have 20 Activities and it is expected a minimum of 50hours to complete it.
Evaluation
The evaluation will be based on an award progress system. Every time a student completes an
activity the teacher will credit him an award and give him/her access to the next activity. Every
time a student fails to complete an activity it’s the teacher role to help and encourage the
student to complete the tasks in the activity.
At the end of the course thare will be an award/diploma for the ones finishing all the activities.
Here is the award chart:
10. Language resources
Language resources will mainly cover general English topics. All the resources are already
available online. The course activities are based on online open resources: from Youtube,
Wikipedia, open sourced blogs and sites. There will also be links to institutional sites whenever
they become useful to the activity.
How does the course work?
Speak it too – The Site
https://sites.google.com/site/speakittoo/
The site Speak it too is the anchor, the place where students start all the activities of
the course. It is open sourced licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0
Unported License.
Anyone can go through the activities, do some exercises, read texts, but to fully
experience the course students, must enroll on it by asking to the teacher to be part of
the google+ community and gain access to the wiki where they can post, comment and
have feed-back and grades on their submitted works.
The individual Blogs
A blog is one of the best good and useful tools for students to inprove
their writing abilities, since they have to be concern and carefully think
with what they write, knowing that many will have the chance to read
their texts.
To improve student’s writing skills a teacher can think of tasks that require them to
post in their blogs, for example where they express their opinions and ideas by writing
in some topics that are chosen by the teacher.
To improve reading, teacher may use articles and asks them to read and reflect on
them and post their opinions…
All these postings can involve writing production, but with so many resources online
students will be able to all so post their own audios and videos, and the blog can turn
to be the optimum onboard diary, not only a repository of all the activities but a place
to share, a chance to show to the ‘world’ our work, giving others the chance to
comment on them…
The Speak it too Wiki
http://speakittoo.wikispaces.com/home
11. Wikis are excellent for collaboration!
They help students to communicate and collaborate with each other, and to organize
and get to know what the others are doing.
Teacher can use a wiki to ask students to upload their works, for example:
presentations, videos, audio files, and all kind of other documents. The teacher can
also use it to upload materials, assignments or students' grades. It's a very useful tool
for students to interact with their teacher and with their classmates. Finally it can turn
to be the ideal place for collaborative work.
Google +
Google+ works perfectly as a social bookmarking web service for storing,
sharing, and discovering web bookmarks.
Both teacher and students can post good online materials, such as links, videos,
activities and games that will contribute for a full learning process. It’s also the place
for all the general questions and feedback. Since students must write in English it will
definitely be a helping tool to expose students to the language. The community it’s a
private place where students should be more secure to interact, since only the ones
taking the course can access it. Google+ also allows hangouts which are a powerful
source of language training.

13. Aspetos relevantes no desenho da
atividade online
Para quem como eu tem vindo a desenhar atividades pedagógicas, sempre para contexto
de sala de aula, a mudança conceptual obriga um exercício de rutura e de abertura a
uma panóplia de novos meios e contextos online que recriam a forma como são
entendidas as ideias, conceitos e vivências dos intervenientes no processo pedagógico:
professor, aluno e instituição.
Perspectivo-me, desde logo, num contexto de disponibilização de conteúdos gratuita e
de acesso livre, sem as barreiras institucionais que um vincula a uma escola ou
Universidade me obrigariam.
O ponto de partida a nível pedagógico passa não por ensinar pelo uso de recursos
online, mas antes assenta no conceito de apreender a aprender com os recursos
disponibilizados e com os outros.
Como ideias centrais da minha reflexão pedagógica aponto:
1. O processo de interação como veículo de motivação e de construção do
conhecimento: desenvolvendo dinâmicas que privilegiem a colaboração e a
discussão entre os intervenientes, de modo a que o feed-back seja dado também
pelos pares e não exclusivamente pelo professor
2. Uma dimensão de ‘multitasking’: onde as propostas de atividades a realizar
desenvolvam diferentes competências (na minha proposta, particularmente as
diferentes competências linguísticas)
3. A prática como suporte à reflexão: procurando que ao realizarem as
diferentes tarefas os alunos criem consciência de que o processo de
aprendizagem online exige rigor e disciplina e que dessa reflexão surge a
construção de saber.
4. O desenvolvimento da autonomia: da reflexão e da tomada de consciência o
aluno deve conseguir desenvolver novas competências com vista à sua
autonomia, por forma a que o processo de aprendizagem se constitua como
verdadeiro instrumento ao serviço da construção de saber e de desenvolvimento
de novas competências.
Num ambiente online os processos tendem a valorizar os conhecimentos formais ou
informais dos alunos, colocando-os em diálogo e colaboração uns com os outros,
libertos das barreira impostas pelos horários, hierarquias e pré-requisitos. Em última
análise fazem de todos os intervenientes aprendizes dentro do próprio processo de
construção de saber e de saber fazer.
14. Na criação de uma atividade online procura-se que os alunos aprendam a analisar,
organizar e selecionar informações que os ajudem à tomada de decisões; que
desenvolvam uma autonomia criativa e comunicativa, sempre num contexto solidário de
partilha e de cooperação.
Numa atividade online o professor é sobretudo um orientador e um desafiador, mas
também um aprendiz!
Finalmente, para uma abordagem de uma atividade online há que fazer recurso de uma
parafernália de recursos e ferramentas dos quais destaco:
Para a avaliação e organização: Wiki
Para a escrita colaborativa: Google docs
Para o diário de bordo: blog
Como agregador: Scoop it
Para as pesquisas on-line - motores de busca: google, yahoo, etc
Para a discussão, fóruns, apresentação de propostas oline: Google+, Wiki e
opcionalmente: facebook, skipe, twiter, etc.
Outros: Prezi, Mindmeister, Voki, croak.it, mindmeister, etc.
15. Distribuição das atividades por
abordagens pedagógicas
Tipologia em foco: Cognitivista-Behaviourista
O que ter em conta?
Esta abordagem pedagógica concebe que a aprendizagem se manifesta no
comportamento e que este comportamento pode ser condicionado através de um sistema
de castigos e recompensas. Comportamentos desejados podem ser estimulados por um
quadro de recompensas; comportamentos indesejados podem ser suprimidos através de
feedback negativo.
O professor fornece conteúdo e leva a aprendizagem. O aluno é responsável por
internalizar o material apresentado pelo professor.
Existem diferenças individuais entre os alunos, cada um com as suas próprias ideias
pré-concebidas e preferenciais estilos de aprendizagem, mas o conhecimento permanece
essencialmente pré-determinado, com o papel do professor assente na transmissão do
conhecimento através de uma série de atividades de aprendizagem.
Atividades a desenvolver
Análise de conteúdos de diferentes tipologias pela leitura, visualização e audição de
conteúdos e realização de exercícios online de aplicação de conhecimentos. Todos os
exercícios dão feedback imediato e professor funciona como facilitador dos conteúdos.
O feedback é dado pela agregação dos exercícios realizados e pela atribuição de
classificação a cada uma das tarefas realizadas.
Tipologia em foco: Construtivista
O que ter em conta?
Segundo esta teoria, o conhecimento é totalmente subjetivo, exclusivamente construído
por cada aluno através de uma combinação dos seus conhecimentos e crenças, e novos
estímulos.
Quando os alunos encontram uma experiência ou uma situação que entra em conflito
com sua atual forma de pensar é criado um estado de desequilíbrio. Em seguida, devem
alterar a forma como pensam para restaurar o equilíbrio ou criar um novo equilíbrio.
Para fazer isso, urge dar sentido à nova informação, associando-a com os
conhecimentos pré-adquiridos.
Quando não somos capazes de acomodar a nova informação à nossa antiga maneira de
pensar, reestruturamos o nosso conhecimento atual para um nível superior de
entendimento.
No modelo construtivista, o professor facilita a aprendizagem mas não o dirige. O
16. papel do professor a orientar os alunos e ajudá-los a encontrar uma forma de resolver
um problema.
Aprende-se mais a fazer.
Atividades a desenvolver
Criação de artefacto(s) com recurso a ferramentas e software open source. A tarefa
exige a recolha de recursos e subsídios e o desenvolvimento do domínio das novas
ferramentas: Croak.it, Voki, Prezi, Mindmeister, Wordle, etc. Trabalho em colaboração
com colegas. O professor apoia os formandos na resposta às duvidas suscitadas pelas
diferentes tarefas envolvidas na criação do(s) artefacto(s).
Tipologia em foco: Conetivista
O que ter em conta?
A Aprendizagem e o conhecimento assentam na diversidade de opinião.
A aprendizagem é um processo de conexão de nódulos especializados ou fontes de
informação.
A aprendizagem pode residir em ferramentas não-humanas.
A capacidade de conhecer é mais importante do que o que é conhecido atualmente.
Manter as conexões é necessária para uma aprendizagem contínua.
A capacidade de ver conexões entre ideias e conceitos é fundamental.
A atualização e atualidade dos recursos são vitais na aprendizagem.
A tomada de decisão é em si um processo de aprendizagem.
Atividades a desenvolver
Partilha online de artefacto(s) em blogues ou numa rede social. Reflexão sobre a
partilha de artefactos produzidos por pares envolvidos no mesmo processo,
nomeadamente pela realização de comentários às publicações dos outros alunos.
Produção colaborativa de um instrumento/documento colectivo através de uma WIKI.

Google+ Community God created the donkey
and said to him.
"You will be a donkey. You will work un-tiringly
from sunrise to sunset carrying burdens on your back.
You will eat grass, you will have no intelligence
and you will live 50 years."
The donkey answered:
"I will be a donkey, but to live 50 years is much. Give me only 20 years"
God granted his wish.
God created the dog
and said to him:
"You will guard the house of man. You will be his best Friend.
You will eat the scraps that he gives you and you will live 30 years.
You will be a dog.
The dog answered:
"Sir, to live 30 years is too much, give me only 15 years." God granted his wish.
God created the monkey
and said to him:
"You will be a monkey. You will swing from
branch to branch doing tricks. You will be
amusing and you will live 20 years.
The monkey answered:
"To live 20 years is too much, give me only 10 years." God granted his wish.
Finally God created man...
and said to him:
"You will be man, the only rational creature on the face of the earth.
You will use your intelligence to become master over all the animals.
You will dominate the world and you will live 20 years." Man responded:
"Sir, I will be a man but to live only 20 years is very little,
give me the 30 years that the donkey refused,
the 15 years that the dog did not want
and the 10 years the monkey refused."
God granted man's wish.

And since then, man lives 20 years as a man,
marries and spends 30 years like a donkey,
working and carrying all the burdens on his back.
Then when his children are grown,
he lives 15 years like a dog taking care of the house
and eating whatever is given to him.
So that when he is old,
he can retire and live 10 years like a monkey,
going from house to house and from one son or
daughter to another doing tricks to amuse his grandchildren.
That's Life.

Pedro, you're soooo right!
Did you see the template that was proposed for the Dreambazaar? I think it
would really help to better structure your Dream. And I recognize that's a bit
egotistic, because if you use the template I will have more information and will
be able to better accompany you in the pursuit of happiness :)
BTW, you should really team up with João Pedro Bourbon, just sayin' ;)

very active discussion list and community of practice. Details at:

subject :)

Hi Pedro, thanks for sharing your dream and really a dream for your learners'
success. I also wanted to add ' Livemocha' as an online collaborative language
learning site. Also, wiziq.com has a lot of free language classes, resources,
not necessarily community, but your learners might find peers to connect with
to continue their language learning activities outside of the class. Have you
thought of an activity for your learners to explore their interests in the target
language (ie they are interested in cooking so they join online forums about
cooking...authentic, engaging, motivating...). Looking forward to following you
on the realization of your dream. Briar

Hola Pedro,
I understand your 'dream'. I believe that is the dream of every language
teacher at the moment: engage students and keep them motivated. It is very
difficult. Have you tried to introduce self and peer assessment feedback? I
they can evaluate their own activities and those of their peers they might get a
bit more motivated. It is also important that they are able to put into practice
what they learn, so I would add activities like podcasts or videos with
situations in real life, using their language in a role play or another context.
