How To Teach Languages Remotely During The Covid-19 Pandemic (Digital Resources For The Language Classroom)

 Classroom teaching looks very different after Covid-19. We as educators got trainings in using the digital technologies, from Zoom, Google Meet, the Big Blue Button and other conference tools, to creating digital worksheets and handouts using Kami, Easel, Google Doc, Google Slides (good for creating digital notebooks), to creating board games on Jamboard; using digital platforms to post our lessons and materials for the class such as Google Classroom, Schoology and Seesaw; making videos using Screencastify and Screencast-O-Matic. Students can now make videos and share with the class in Flipgrid.

Teachers learned how to make a digital version of themselves, called a Bitmoji, as well as how to create Bitmoji classrooms. We are now using the Pear Deck Google extension to make our Google slide shows interactive and Edpuzzle to make Youtube videos interactive by adding content questions that the students answer while watching the videos. We use digital Bingo cards, digital Flash Cards with Quizlet, and digital white boards

We also now create on-line games on Quizlet, Blooket, Quizziz, Kahoot, Conjuguemos for the students to practice the material that we present.

We can now give a feedback to our students by recording our voice with the Google extension Mote.

This is definitely an entirely digital way of teaching and has made teaching and engaging the students possible. I say this with some caution, because there is no way this can replace the organic human connection that the in-person teaching provides.
