I’ll repeat this information at the end of the presentation.
3. A free service which allows users to send and receive messages via
smart device or computer limited to 140 characters. The “tweets”
are open to anyone (in the world) to see. Uses hashtags (#) to track
messages.
sample tweet: Having fun and learning a lot at #MFLLpreservice!

4. Bringing characters to life: At California State
University-San Marcos, students in a literature
course use Twitter to bring Twilight characters
to life, choosing characters from the series to
personify on Twitter. A teacher in Illinois, used
Twitter to have students post comments from
Dante to his beloved Beatrice from each of the
nine circles of hell and one from before or
after the journey.
Inspirational quotes of the day: Allow
students to become more familiar with
Twitter, and exercise reading and writing
skills by having a student post an
inspirational quote tweet each day,
preferably relating to course content.
Twitter puzzles: Tweet a puzzle each
week, giving a prize to the first
student who shares the correct
answer.
A Twitter story: Students can take
turns tweeting stories together, using
a hashtag to keep it all together as
each student takes a turn to tweet
the next line.
Find foreign pen pals: Students can use Twitter to
communicate with students in a different country,
learning about their hobbies, home, school, and
more. Track a word or event in the FL.
Set up a foreign language news stream.
Keep foreign language students informed of
current events from relevant nations while
simultaneously challenging them to use their
translation skills by keeping a specific news
feed.

5. Instructions:
1. Read the tweets and underline
the cultural practice associated
with the end of summer.
2. Visit the links (at the bottom)
to learn what these practices
are about.
3. Connect the tweet with the
link which describes it.
4. Write a tweet (at the bottom)
about a practice in your
community associated with
the end of summer.
Zambombazo

Examples: First one says Labor Day
signals the end of summer. Another
says it is marked by the parties at
Barajas. Another mentions ads in the
paper for school supplies from a
famous Spanish department store.
He put this together, apparently, by using the search terms
“fin de verano” (end of summer).
6. 1. Students can snap a picture of your slide.
2. Students can record or videotape your
lecture.
3. QR codes* can be used on a flyer for
students to get -- and save -- more
information or on a Word document to get
answers.
4. Conduct research in the classroom.

7. Use Foursquare to take attendance.**
What kind of information can a
QR code store?
A QR code can store many types
of text information, including:
A website URL
Contact Information
A phone number
A geographic location
A text message to be sent to a
phone number
A calendar event

17. Instructors can’t see info*; students can.
Students can’t see info; instructor can.
Differences among:
“Show/Hide to Users”
“Hide Column”
“Delete Column”
Grade Center tips
Gone for good.
*“Hide Column” is useful if you have a lot of columns, are completely done with some, and are tired of scrolling left and
right to see them. You can get these “back” in “manage columns.”
18. Click on “+” sign, then, “Tool Link,” and
name it. Choose “Email” as your tool,
make it available to users, submit.
Tired of
wading
through the
Control
Panel
to send an
email?
20. Consider a grade column
with text display* for
putting absences where
students can see them.
*Text display = Can type letters AND
numbers and other symbols. For
student absences, for example, you can
type: 2A + 2T.
21. - Can input grades on Blackboard from a tablet, even an
iPad, by going on to the Blackboard website (don’t use
app). A little sluggish, however.
22. Apps to check out…
Can set for any length of time. Continues to run in
background as you return to your presentation and
will “go off” without returning to it.

25. Apps to check out…
Adobe Reader is far the best free option for PDF
annotation. Adobe Reader isn’t limited in any way, and
allows users to add “sticky notes” (with the ability to
mark yourself as the author), free-hand drawing, and
signatures.

38. ABOUT THE TIMERS which follow for PowerPoints…
There are several timers which follow. You can copy and paste them into your own
slides. When you copy them, don’t just click on the timer and copy but rather
make sure you draw a copy line outside of the whole box (give yourself a little
space). These are made up of individual animations, so you need to make sure you
capture all of them.
The timers in the boxes (next five slides) were made by Kathi Wong.
- The 1-3 minute timers count down in 1-second intervals.
- The 4-5 minute timers count down in 5-second intervals until they get to 3
minutes, then they count down in 1-second intervals.
- When they get to the last second, a “chime” is sounded
Below Kathi’s timers are slides with some timers done by someone else (that Kathi
found on the internet). They may suit your purposes better, especially if you are
interested in timers that are longer than 5 minutes.
45. Terms of use
• These timers are free for anyone to use within education
or not for profit organisations.
• You are entitled to download this presentation and add
to your own internal system (e.g. VLE) to distribute to
others.
• You do not need to attribute the source, within the
presentations where these timers are used.
• You are not allowed to re-package this presentation (e.g.
Remove the A6 Training and Consultancy Ltd logo, or
ownership information, without permission from the
owner.
46. Countdown Timers
• The following slides contain a series of ‘timers’ that can be used in PowerPoint
• The idea behind this, is one way to make a PowerPoint presentation to a large audience, slightly
more interactive, is to set the students a question, activity, calculation etc. If appropriate a timer
can be introduced, to ‘time’ how long is available for them to complete the activity.
• There are timers for various different time increments between 10 seconds and 20 minutes.
• To use a timer, all you need to do is enter the editing mode of PowerPoint - copy desired timer
into your presentation, each timer is made up of many components, so when copying – you need
to use the mouse to select all the components to do this – click and hold the mouse, top left of the
timer, then whilst holding mouse button down, drag the mouse to bottom right of timer and release
– everything within the region should be selected. You can now ‘copy’ – then go into your
presentation and paste.
• Timers can be resized, or formatted – just make sure you highlight all of the items at the same
time (by using same method as above).
• Most timers are set to start when they are clicked – the exception being the bar timers which start
when you click anywhere on the slide. If you want timers to start automatically when the slide is
viewed then this can be achieved by changing the animation settings to start automatically.
• Some timers have a sound effect - this could easily be removed or replaced with your own sound
effect.
• Some timers can be altered to different time increments – see the how to videos (link below) for
information.
• Look at the notes area on each slide for information on the timers.

Notas do Editor
I copied and pasted the pre-service schedule (Spanish) to do this. It took under 30 seconds to do.
Took out HSS, but left in lunch. Used official UT orange color.
Go over the apps on this, esp. the bus, directory, library, maps -- nice because if you have location services set as “on” you can tell how far the next bus is and actually see it moving as it moves. New feature to app, “pushes” grades to students, need to hide column when you are inputting grades unless it’s okay for students to see them IMMEDIATELY.
Thanks Rosie for this tip!
Idea from Harriet -- can follow her, delicious-looking healthy recipes.
This slide counts down by 5 second until 3 minutes, and then it goes down by second.

Button timers countdown in 1 second increments – above are 6 different timers for 60secs, 45secs, 30secs, 20secs, 15secs, 10 secs. Each timer is constructed from a series of shapes piled on top of each other, and animated to disappear at 1 seconds intervals.To copy a timer, select the entire pile of shapes by clicking and holding the left mouse button whilst drawing a rectangle that completely encapsulates the timer.Note – it is possible to have multiple timers (possibly of different colours) on the same slide as each works independently of others.

This bar timer, will start when anywhere on the slide is clicked. The bar will move from left to right and the word ‘End’ will appear at the end, accompanied by a ‘Deep Gong’ sound. It is possible to change the duration of this timer to any time, by entering the animation settings, and changing the timing for ‘rectangle 3’. Note the time has to be entered as a number of seconds – so if you want 2mins & 30secs – this is entered as 150 (60X2 + 30 = 150).
This ‘sand timer’ will start on a mouse click anywhere on the slide. The ‘sand’ will drain from the top section to the lower section and when completed will show the word ‘End’.To change the timings of this timer, you need to enter the animation settings, and change the timings for the Isosceles Triangles. There will be 2 that need changing (to the same amount) – one animates the top triangle emptying, whilst the other animates the bottom triangle filling.When you change the timings these have to entered as a number of seconds.
These timers appear initially as a cream, coloured circle. The timer is initiated by clicking on, at which point the circle will fill up in a clockwise direction with the colour you see above.At the end of the time, a bell will sound.It is possible to change the timings of the timers by entering the animation settings and changing the timings of the relevant ‘Oval’. Note the timings have to be entered in seconds.It is possible to have multiple timers on the same slide as these work independently of each other.
These digital clock timers countdown from either 2 minutes, 1 min 30secs or 1 minute. The timings of these cannot be easily changed, although the colour can be by simply selecting the entire ‘pile’ of shapes that makes them up, and then formatting the colours.There is a bell timer at the end of the countdown, if this is not desired then enter the animation settings, and delete the animation that ends .wav from the animation listing.
