[00:00:05.370]Hi, I am Guy Trainin
[00:00:06.453]from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln,
[00:00:08.610]College of Education and Human Sciences.
[00:00:11.520]I'm Chrystal Liu, from Nebraska Department of Education.
[00:00:15.450]I'm the World Language Specialist.
[00:00:17.700]And this is "Teaching World Language
[00:00:19.920]with Technology" series from Tech Edge.
[00:00:22.410]And today, we're gonna talk about Jamboard.
[00:00:24.780]So tell me a little bit about Jamboard.
[00:00:26.660]Jamboard, I have to say, in a very simple way,
[00:00:29.970]is a electronic whiteboard
[00:00:32.310]which means teachers can do whatever
[00:00:34.440]they used to do with whiteboard.
[00:00:36.420]Now on a much advanced level with this platform,
[00:00:41.850]Jamboard, with students.
[00:00:43.950]And students can do all the work individually
[00:00:47.550]or as group work.
[00:00:49.560]And what I love about Jamboard
[00:00:51.180]is it's really an open-ended platform.
[00:00:53.400]You can teach anything and everything
[00:00:55.080]and we'll talk some ideas about some ideas,
[00:00:57.690]about World Language,
[00:00:58.740]but really it is an open-ended platform
[00:01:01.740]that has some of the advantages
[00:01:03.570]that regular whiteboards in our world
[00:01:06.600]is filled with whiteboards don't do.
[00:01:09.990]And one is that they're digital.
[00:01:12.210]So you can type, you don't have to draw with your hand.
[00:01:14.850]If you've ever seen my handwriting,
[00:01:16.290]you know, that's a blessing.
[00:01:17.970]The second thing is that you
[00:01:20.820]can actually save whatever you have.
[00:01:23.970]So you have the evidence for student learning
[00:01:27.330]or the evidence of the learning that you want to share
[00:01:30.480]with everybody so they know what happened in class.
[00:01:33.300]So multiple perspective of this digital world.
[00:01:36.360]The third thing to know is that you need
[00:01:39.210]to log in with your Google ID
[00:01:40.920]which is very, very common throughout all of our schools.
[00:01:46.140]It's not all of them, but you do have to know
[00:01:49.770]that you have to have a Google ID
[00:01:51.300]to be able to log in to Jamboard.
[00:01:54.180]So talk about some ideas that we
[00:01:56.190]can use it specifically in World Language.
[00:01:59.100]We can use Jamboard to do brainstorming.
[00:02:02.970]So here is an example.
[00:02:05.520]Thanks for all the teachers
[00:02:06.660]created those sticky notes
[00:02:09.900]and contribute to the Jamboard.
[00:02:11.790]And anybody adding a note can choose the color.
[00:02:14.640]And then, or you can assign color
[00:02:17.250]by person and you can write more or less.
[00:02:20.940]You can also input pictures, symbols, and things like that.
[00:02:24.660]And you see some of these examples.
[00:02:26.670]I love the visual of the sticky note
[00:02:28.710]because it does allow kids to also be short
[00:02:33.090]and not just contribute large chunks of text,
[00:02:36.210]but you can do more text as well as you can see in this one.
[00:02:39.780]Yeah. And also, another idea is
[00:02:42.660]to use it as, you know, manipulatives.
[00:02:46.020]So here is our example for what language classroom.
[00:02:49.140]We can do living sentences.
[00:02:51.000]So we can have students do it in groups or individually.
[00:02:55.590]Students can move around like, okay,
[00:02:59.760]Alice might be their person
[00:03:02.580]and in the library should maybe go
[00:03:04.890]to the next or whatever to meet,
[00:03:09.240]oh, on Saturday, kind of, you know?
[00:03:12.683]I think that agreed should be after Alice.
[00:03:16.470]Oh, yeah. All right.
[00:03:18.660]Alice agreed to meet-
[00:03:20.580]somebody. Okay, Tom.
[00:03:22.011]That may be Tom.
[00:03:23.970]Yeah. in the library.
[00:03:25.440]in the library-
[00:03:27.330]on Saturday morning.
[00:03:29.700]and- at-
[00:03:31.920]Enter, okay.
[00:03:34.380]Okay.
[00:03:35.490]Oh, maybe we need to put Tom-
[00:03:39.660]Tom and Alice.
[00:03:40.890]Alice and Tom.
[00:03:42.494]Okay, Alice goes first. I understand.
[00:03:45.868](Chrystal laughs) All right.
[00:03:46.770]So you can see how the manipulatives work
[00:03:48.630]and how suddenly you can have a real discussion
[00:03:51.510]between students about the structure of sentence
[00:03:54.600]in that specific language and how all the words fit.
[00:03:57.600]And you can also create an overabundance
[00:04:00.630]of words and make them make different sentences.
[00:04:03.510]So use the manipulatives
[00:04:04.950]in a way that you can actually make four
[00:04:07.050]or five sentences instead of just one.
[00:04:09.840]Lots of ways to think about how you do that.
[00:04:12.240]And the advantage again is
[00:04:13.920]that you have two things happening.
[00:04:16.080]One is you have just manipulating words
[00:04:20.130]instead of having to write them from scratch every time.
[00:04:23.160]It practices grammar.
[00:04:24.570]It practices different features of the language
[00:04:27.900]without having to go, especially at the beginning,
[00:04:31.290]just making the words can take a long time.
[00:04:34.170]The second thing is that aspect of recording.
[00:04:37.170]I can see the sentence they did,
[00:04:38.880]or they can take a screenshot
[00:04:40.620]and say here are the sentences we did.
[00:04:42.750]So it's a way to communicate what has actually happened
[00:04:46.410]without the teacher actively monitoring in real time.
[00:04:49.530]Yeah, I really like the way of, you know,
[00:04:51.900]this we actually set students in groups
[00:04:54.180]they can talk through, and they are communicating.
[00:04:58.230]That's interpersonal mode.
[00:05:00.420]That's really what we want to encourage students
[00:05:03.510]to do in World Language classroom.
[00:05:05.460]All right. Yeah.
[00:05:06.293]And the third one?
[00:05:07.440]We can also use Jamboard
[00:05:10.290]to do as graphic organizer.
[00:05:13.650]We can put all the graphic organizers as background,
[00:05:17.340]so you can do whatever you want.
[00:05:18.810]Here is KWL chart and we have Venn diagrams
[00:05:25.020]without titles, without any marks.
[00:05:27.600]And also, we can do like four corners, Jamboard.
[00:05:32.430]And so, really what happens with graphic organizers
[00:05:36.390]is you can take whatever graphic organizer you like,
[00:05:39.150]or you find anywhere and just take a picture
[00:05:42.240]of that graphic and drop it into the jam board,
[00:05:45.750]and people can write on top of it.
[00:05:47.190]So it doesn't disappear, it doesn't take over,
[00:05:49.860]and it becomes just the background
[00:05:53.190]on which students can work.
[00:05:56.520]And finally, we are talking
[00:05:58.320]about peer-review using Jamboard.
[00:06:00.690]I'm excited to see this because I've never seen this done.
[00:06:05.430]We can actually assign students to do short writing
[00:06:11.370]and then we ask each students to put their names on it,
[00:06:15.420]so their peers actually can go and to give feedback
[00:06:22.020]to the writing and make suggestions.
[00:06:24.960]Or sometimes, you know,
[00:06:26.220]we need a thumb up from peers as well.
[00:06:29.220]So normally, I would ask my students to do,
[00:06:31.800]find something you like
[00:06:33.960]and find something that you would recommend to do it
[00:06:38.160]in a different way and acknowledge the effort.
[00:06:40.770]So in this format,
[00:06:42.240]all the students get a little bit encouragement
[00:06:44.490]from their peers, and at the same time,
[00:06:47.160]they get feedback to be better.
[00:06:49.740]So this is Jamboard, great tool,
[00:06:52.650]because it is so open-ended.
[00:06:55.110]The open-endedness does require you
[00:06:57.120]as a teacher to think about pedagogy,
[00:06:59.070]to think about your goals and what you're trying to achieve.
[00:07:01.890]But what you get on the other side is
[00:07:04.620]that open flexibility that allows you to do,
[00:07:08.610]and design whatever you need.
[00:07:11.310]Yeah, and also I would like to share some resources
[00:07:15.000]that I have collected from online.
[00:07:17.760]So if you go to NDE World Language, you will find,
[00:07:23.154]NDE World Language TechSnack.
[00:07:24.840]So which will include all the things we
[00:07:27.930]are going to talk about or have talked about.
[00:07:30.330]In this whole series
[00:07:31.410]about teaching World Language with technology.
[00:07:33.750]So everything is going to be there.
[00:07:36.600]The link is going to be on the bottom.
[00:07:38.520]So we share it.
[00:07:39.390]And we'll see you next time
[00:07:40.980]on teaching "World Language with Technology" from Tech Edge.
[00:07:44.550]Thank you.
