Portable Learning Objects are crucial to the online teaching world no matter if you are online full time, hybrid, flipped, or blended. I love using them; it's not only a great way to bring technology into a face to face classroom but it is an engaging way to keep all students on top of the course content. My three favorites to use in both classroom types are Kahoot, Flippity, and Quizlet. I know I have mentioned all three of these in this blog at least once, but these are great tools to keep in your tool belt as you progress as a teacher today. Let's take a look at what we have:
Quizlet is an amazing site that can be used for many different purposes. My favorite is for vocabulary and grammar structure practice. There are a variety of different ways you can practice these structures, and again, I have posted my favorite above. The "match" game will require that students match the translations of the words/structures offered. The intended use of this learning object is repetition of common structures or vocabulary terms, which comprehensible input states is the most important part of language acquisition. It can be used in the online or blended classes for the same thing- questions, vocabulary, or grammar that students need to see in a repetitive format. My ultimate favorite way to use Quizlet is to use Quizlet live. I highly suggest that if you enjoy using Kahoot that you give Quizlet.live a chance. It puts the students in groups and they hold one another responsible for their learning and accountable for their participation. It is an amazing game!
