    Merci pour la vidéo Mme Sensei ! Je estudie le français et je suis aussi professeure. Unfortunately, my Duolingo dashboard looks very different when I click on 'student's tab. I can't seem to see all that detail you see and there is no 'activity log' button. I wonder if I've set things up wrong or they removed this option.

    • @madamesensei

      Hi, @PaulaLanguage Teacher! Unfortunately, this Duolingo video is a little out of date. Duo is rolling out some new activities that are changing the position of the stepping stones on the path. The new activities are a radio show (listening exercises), Adventure (a point-and-click game), and video chat (speaking exercises). These are rolling out slowly, and so the "assign" tab has been broken temporarily. Fingers crossed it will come back soon. In the mean time, I made a video for those educators who still want to "assign" units. Hope this helps! th-cam.com/video/jE43EaH-cmo/w-d-xo.html

  • @stephenbarefield4879
    @stephenbarefield4879 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    My problem with Blooket is actually something you mentioned in the video, whether or not students win the game has nothing to do with how well they did on the assessment. A lot of game modes on blooket are based on luck and not knowledge.

    • @madamesensei
      @madamesensei 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      So my question to you: Is this a problem? I feel that the goal of a game is to get the students engaged: When they are invested, the learning is going to stick deeper, right? My students know full well that a few of the game modes are luck-based, but they are still having a ton of fun, and they are still deliberately trying to get as many questions right -- and have exposure to as many repetitions as possible -- just to appear on the leaderboard. As I mentioned, I had a student who was absolutely not invested in anything, until he accidently won Gold Quest. That put the wind under his sails. If you want your students to win the game via strategy, then might I suggest you try Cafe or Factory as the game modes? I also had a student who decided that he was going to challenge himself to always coming in LAST place. This meant that on Gold Quest, for example, he would strive to get every question right so that he could receive the "swap" chest, and then swap with the person on the bottom. It made all the games very strategic for him, he had a ton of fun, and the class thought it was a hoot.

    • @stephenbarefield4879
      @stephenbarefield4879 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @ I appreciate the response! I came across your video because I was really conflicted on Blooket for the reason I listed, but you’ve provided a lot of great perspective. Blooket is very common in my school and some students hate it while others love it. I like to give prizes to the top three, which is why it troubles me that those three are not necessarily the most knowledgeable. Engagement is a major reason for me to utilize Blooket, but I also want to show students that academic success can look differently for everyone. Kids who thrive in exams and essays sometimes don’t perform as well under the pressure of games, which allows other students to swoop in and get a win. But if the person winning my games didn’t actually perform the best then that doesn’t sit right with me. It’s a difficult balance for sure between keeping the game engaging and testing their knowledge. I still don’t think Blooket is the format for MY class so I will continue to make my own games❤️

    • @madamesensei
      @madamesensei 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Good for you for making your own games! I would love for you to tell me your favorites. I am always on the prowl for good games. As for Blooket, my students find the applause is more than enough reward. When I was doing GLAD training, which awards table points, my wise colleague said, "What do you win if you are playing basketball with your friends? Isn't the pride that you feel enough of a reward?" And I think she was right about that. ;) I'm looking forward to hearing about your games!

    • @madamesensei
      @madamesensei 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for the question! This is your special classroom leaderboard -- You get to decide how you use it in class. This leaderboard is only for the one classroom (so I have seven different classroom leaderboards); there are no leagues for the students to compete in. They are just competing with each other. I like to take a screenshot on Sunday to show my students on Monday morning. That way, I can also get my classes competing against each other, in addition to the in-class competition. Plus, I make a big deal over who beat me, as I make sure to show where I am on the leaderboard. I have my leaderboard set to re-set every Sunday evening. You may decide that another day is better for you. But since the students are not moving up or down in a league, the leaderboard simply re-sets. You can reward with a hearty round of classroom applause, or stickers, or candy, or however you want to celebrate.

    Thank you for the video. I use games and group activities a lot in my classess, and students love them. But being shy and reserved is the only problem that keeps in most of my students. I guess it has something to do with their personalities and I try not to emphasize that, or change that. But I do know they're less shy when playing with their fellow students so I try to come up with group activities. I would also love to hear more about how you use those games you showed in the video, because Jenga and Uno are not popular here in Uzbekistan. Most of us have never even heard about them. Or should I just google it?

    • @madamesensei
      @madamesensei ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for your comment, @XurshidMatnazarov! Yes, I truly believe that shy students will come out of their shells by playing games. I wanted to discuss why I use game-based learning first (13 videos total). Next I will discuss some pedagogical techniques (the "how" part), and then I will discuss all the specific games (the "what" section). In that part, I will show specific games and how I use them. On the docket are Jenga, and Uno (I already have a video on Uno in the Pedagogy playlist. It is very similar to the game Crazy 8's if you have heard of that, and in Japan we called it トランプ。) I will also show how to play Clue (Cluedo) and Guess Who, as well as some projects like a fake Tour de France, pretend shopping, and cooking in class. I will also talk about games behind the computer, like Minecraft, Blooket, and Duolingo, and how to keep your students communicating through all of them. Here is the Uno video.

Then, click on the story, and on the right-hand side of the screen will appear the button to print. Have fun!

      Shamsul, what language are you studying? And have you completed everything up to Unit 13? Are you using a phone or a computer? Due to feedback, Duolingo is now "collapsing" some units so that you are not overwhelmed visually. If there is a unit 14 and beyond in the language that you are studying, they will most likely appear when you get there. If you are not there yet but think that you can handle it, just click the "jump to" button and take the test to unlock things. Happy learning!

      Good to know! Yes, transitions can be hard. I am kind of laughing, because I have been using Duolingo in my classroom since almost its inception, and every time there is an update, people have the exact same experience you describe: Initially recalcitrant, but then coming to understand why the update in a step in the positive direction, and eventually not only coming to terms with it, but also embracing it. You said it eloquently.

      @@madamesensei Been stuck with it since mid-August, and I continue to find new ways why I don't like the new update. I will NOT be eloquently embracing this change. So happy you can laugh at the expense of users who truly feel this has a negative impact on our learning.

    What about languages that currently don't have tips inside the app. Will they finally have them now? Tip: They should hide the further path that is not unlocked. User should not be able to see other animations and how long the course is. That should motivate them more. Imagine trying to learn french which has more than 100 of these lessons. It is already long, imagine when they make it in a single line. It would take you ages to scroll down to see the bottom.

      That is a good idea! I will pass that along to them. YES! All languages will have a guidebook, very soon they tell me. They consider the guidebook a priority, after the rollout is done.

      @@madamesensei Finally, i've been sending them feedback for years on that issue and they never solved it. I never understood why you can't access the guidbook on the the app if you have it already on the website. It makes the app useless if i have to open webbrowser each time I need an explanation.

      @@madamesensei The Guidebooks should ALL have been prepared well BEFORE the final roll-out. Now that my web version has updated to the PATH, I now lose access to the Tips that WERE still available. And since I predict Finnish isn't a high priority course, I predict I'm not going to be able to review the grammar any time soon. Terrible decision to not have this stuff ready to go first, especially if Duolingo insists on rolling out this update. Oh, but we get cute new animations! So helpful.

      So, sometime within the past half-hour, both my app & web added the so-called GUIDEBOOKS. Not sure whether to laugh or cry. 'Explore grammar tips and key phrases for this unit.' Got some phrases; ZERO actual grammar tips. *biggest freaking sigh in all the cosmos*
