I hope that you had the time to try the VoiceInstead or any other Chrome extension. After publishing the previous blog, I kept thinking how these extensions are making my student learning more engaging and how it is enhancing their knowledge. This took me to discover a very cool Chrome extension that blew my mind! It is InsterLearning.
IndertLearning is an extension that works in a very unexpected way. It basically creates the most amazing online reading lesson that you can imagine. After you install the extension, it asks to sign up, which you could do with your Google account. After, it gives you a tour of how you can use it and make you create your lesson step-by-step. Once your are done, a video pops up to give you information related to how to create, save, and share your lesson with your students; how to create different classes and input students manually; and finally, how to share your lesson and what your students need to have in order to see it.
So how does it work? Once you have the extension, you can activate it to create a lesson on any webpage that you would like to use for that given lesson. You can insert notes with a video of you giving specific instructions, insert questions, and discussion topics! Then assign it to a class and share! All the answers will be recorded in a Dashboard for you to review later. I am using it and it is a very well done extension.
Here is the video:
Please, let me know what do you think after trying.
Hi! Michal, I am glad you like this extension. You were asking on the discussion board for some games for language learners; this could be an exciting way you can make your learners interact with some of the languages they are learning from you. You will need to find a web page that contains plan language, so it is easier at first, but it could be very powerful. If you try, let me know.
Hi Kennia Great point! I really like this extensions. I think that it can be beneficial for asynchronous learning. Teachers only need to find the materials they want to show to their students, highlight something and leave comments, and then assign it to a class and share. Students can see all the things that teachers left just by getting into the dashboard. I think it simplifies many work of teachers and students.
Hello there, It is so true. When I found this extension, I first thought that it will be hard to use or understand by students, but after using it with my adult learners I found that the key is to use appropiate materials that matches students needs. It is fun, engaging, and usefult for students. Thank you for your comment.
This is a great post! I find it awesome that you use these extensions to make your students more engaged in learning. I think this is an awesome way to manage an online reading assignment!
THIS is awesome! This is a cool way to share martials with students in a meaningful way!
