00:26:00 Jane Harland: A trackpad/mouse combo is best. 00:27:38 Bill Pellowe: I really like those ergonomic keyboards 00:29:21 Bill Pellowe: I had the microsoft one in 2000, fantastic. The only thing that was bad was that the numeric keyboard made the whole keyboard too long, so I had to stretch to reach the mouse. 00:31:19 Jane Harland: Try Amazon 00:31:42 Paul Beaufait: A rolled towel works 00:32:57 Shirley Young young@fukuoka-u.ac.jp: Steve, you can pick up a mouse pad with gel lift at Bic camera or one of those places. 00:33:17 Shirley Young young@fukuoka-u.ac.jp: Bill, totally agree. 00:41:16 Bill Pellowe: Preferences -> Keyboard -> Dictation 00:41:20 Jane Harland: How to use dictation on your Mac https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xalJD6V_M_4 00:41:40 Craig Yamamoto: System preferences-keyboard-dictation 00:42:08 sorrellyue: Thanks, Jane :-) 00:43:16 Tim Pritchard: maybe people can add last week’s links to this week’s chat so it’s all in one place... 00:43:26 Steve Paton: Good idea Tim 00:47:06 Jane Harland: Yes, my Ss did a lot more work, too. 00:51:54 Jane Harland: You can preassign or randomly assign Ss. 00:54:17 Craig Yamamoto: randomizing questions and options in Moodle quizzes with time limits is best to REDUCE the possibility of cheating. 01:04:41 sorrellyue: Did you write those grades on the forum? 01:05:34 Craig Yamamoto: Assessing Language through Computer Technology by Carol A. Chapelle & Dan Douglas is a good informative book. 01:05:40 Steve Paton: Can someone suggest a new topic to discuss? Please raise a hand. 01:07:41 Bill Pellowe: Craig could you talk about that book a bit? 01:08:26 Craig Yamamoto: FlipGrid or Google Drive shared box 01:09:40 Bill Pellowe: Dropbox file request: https://help.dropbox.com/files-folders/share/create-file-request 01:10:02 Bill Pellowe: I used that with my part time students because we didn’t have Google Classroom. 01:15:47 Shirley Young young@fukuoka-u.ac.jp: Steve, I just made sure that someone in each group had a computer so they could record. 01:16:20 Paul Beaufait: Any hot tips for supporting students who don’t have computers? 01:17:58 Bill Pellowe: I have one, Paul. If you’re using Zoom, be sure to “Spotlight” yourself so that your screen is always visible to the kids on their phones. 01:18:32 Paul Beaufait: Thanks, Bill. 01:23:57 Craig Yamamoto: You can do the same with FlipGrid. It might be easier to manage. 01:24:27 Tim Pritchard: Does VOA = Voice of America? 01:25:54 Bill Pellowe: https://otj.wisecat.net 01:31:01 sorrellyue: You can get students to think of 3 questions to ask the speakers 01:34:04 Bill Pellowe: Good idea Sorrell but I don’t have the time for questions, 30ish students. 01:34:37 sorrellyue: Same … but I would ask say 2 or 3 students (randomly) to ask questions :-) 01:39:33 Shirley Young young@fukuoka-u.ac.jp: Bill, you could also do this using the Forum function for feedback. or the chat function in conjunction with the “live” presentation. 01:41:08 Paul Beaufait: If the chat recording is available to presenters, they could answer later. 01:41:19 Shirley Young young@fukuoka-u.ac.jp: Sorrel, you are right. I would say everyone has to prepare a question ( for comprehension and attention) but would only ask a random 4 or 5 students, then ask different ones after the next presentation. I could comfortably do about 4 per class. 01:44:23 Bill Pellowe: Craig, don’t let that stop you from talking more :) 01:45:25 Craig Yamamoto: No worries. You don’t know unless someone tells you. 01:47:36 Paul Beaufait: Praise, Question, Reflect, Suggest, … 01:50:39 Shirley Young young@fukuoka-u.ac.jp: Neil, re: Zoom security, very hard to control students but, for myself rather than use the Zoom recording I just used a third party app. to record my screen (Screenflow). 01:53:02 Jennie Crittenden: It seems unfair to make them print it out 01:53:21 Bill Pellowe: I agree, it costs money and it’s a pain. Not everyone lives close to a conbini 01:53:30 Jennie Crittenden: ^^That 01:53:55 Bill Pellowe: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11j3V4f_4zIhQUBsBm2pB2ZKwrLMYkPoSd9eHQrv5V8E/edit?usp=sharing 01:54:02 Jane Harland: If you put files up in advance, they will only have to make one or two trips during the semester. 01:54:44 Craig Yamamoto: Sorry, I need to go, but thank you everyone for sharing. ~Aloha~ 01:55:17 Steve Paton: Thanks for joining Craig! 01:55:37 Shirley Young young@fukuoka-u.ac.jp: I agree with Jane that the key is foreknowledge in this case. I just send out an announcement on Moodle a few days before reminding them that they need to read and use that document, it is their responsibility to check out the Moodle screen BEFORE they come to class and are on their live screen. 01:55:42 Jane Harland: 300-500 yen is reasonable for a 15-week course. 01:56:23 sorrellyue: No WIFI???!!! 01:59:33 Jane Harland: Shirley, yes Screenflow is brilliant! 02:01:18 Tim Pritchard: I know Creep! 02:01:30 sorrellyue: So those are in random order, right? 02:03:21 sorrellyue: Where would they do that? 02:04:43 sorrellyue: Sounds great … but doesn’t it take time? 02:05:01 sorrellyue: Keeping random order of grades and “real order”? 02:05:18 Jane Harland: You can hide the Moodle grade book. 02:05:36 Paul Beaufait: How about a sort by overall score? 02:06:46 Shirley Young young@fukuoka-u.ac.jp: what is the value of having students compare themselves rather than just track their own grades individually? Unlike Neil, I have had reasonable success with students monitoring their progress in Moodle grade book. 02:08:34 Bill Pellowe: I think it’s not about comparing, but more about expediency. It’s easy to show all scores. Individual scores is a lot more labor-intensive. 02:09:44 Sergio Mazzarelli: As regards informing students of their individual grades, Moodle worked perfectly for me. 02:09:48 Jane Harland: I use the Moodle grade book and activity completion. 02:10:59 Neil McClelland: Perhaps my bad experience with Moodle gradebook comes from talking to a minority who didn't understand it. 02:11:19 Bill Pellowe: I think if you had several members of a sports team in your class, they would collude to all fail, on the theory that you would not be allowed to fail so many students. 02:11:49 Neil McClelland: They would need to think again. 02:12:05 sorrellyue: I wonder if one of my classes did that, Bill? The thing is .. I did fail them! 02:12:48 Bill Pellowe: http://bit.ly/j20zm to sign up to be a Zoom host for JALT2020 02:13:08 Shirley Young young@fukuoka-u.ac.jp: Thank you Bill. 02:13:19 Paul Beaufait: Thanks, everyone. Brilliant discussion! Lots of good ideas. 02:13:23 Jennie Crittenden: Thanks Bill 02:13:24 Tim Pritchard: Many thanks 02:13:25 Sergio Mazzarelli: Thank you! 02:13:45 Neil McClelland: thank you 02:13:51 sorrellyue: Thank you :-) 02:13:53 Shirley Young young@fukuoka-u.ac.jp: Thanks to Steve and everyone. 02:13:57 Khadijah: Thanks everyone for sharing. :) 02:13:59 Jane Harland: Thanks! 02:14:02 Jennie Crittenden: Thanks
