Using Technology with Stations in the Foreign Language Classroom Jessica Garner http://ncteachers.pbworks.com jessicacgarner@gmail.com
Rationale • Why use stations in the high school classroom? • Engagement • 21st century skills
John Wilson, Executive Director, NEA “To relegate today’s students to rows of desks, a teacher at the front of the classroom espousing content, and a textbook with paper and pencil is to guarantee that our students will be left with the lowest skills and the lowest-paying jobs."
Rationale • Why use stations in the high school classroom? • Engagement • 21st century skills • Classroom management • Gardner’s multiple intelligences
Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences • Verbal-linguistic • Intrapersonal • Interpersonal • Naturalist • Bodily-Kinesthetic • Musical-Rhythmic • Visual-Spatial • Logical-Mathematical
Think about the senses… • Sight • Touch • Taste • Hear • Smell
Think about 21st century skills… • Communication • Collaboration • Cooperation • Cultural competence • Technology
Smooth transitions • Group ahead of time! • Clearly label tables • Use clear, concise directions • Lower grades – recording or picture • Upper grades – recording or written out • Have 2 or 3 good transition signals • Clean up • Begin to move to next station • Teacher monitoring • Give kids jobs!
Technology • How could you use technology in your class with small groups of students? • Flip cameras • Digital cameras • SMART board • Laptops • Digital voice recorders • CD player • Online activities
Other comments? • What are some other considerations when using stations in the high school classroom?
