Adobe connect asks for a url. What should we enter for access?

Hi
I have already set up adobe connect and I clicked week 2 live session but there is no sign of possible access or a URL to follow. what should I do. I am running out of time

Hi Besma! We are so glad to have seen you at the webinar! :)) Did you know Adobe is also available for mobile? :)

Thanks for the session! It was engaging and enriching!!! I cannot wait to implement the tools mentioned on it!!

MarijanaS said

That's great Gabriela! We are sure you will enjoy learning about all the possibilities week 2 apps have and definitely explore more on mobile learning. Looking forward to your feedback! :)

It's been a great session presented by a great team. It made me interested in QR codes that I haven't used so far but I am willing to explore the tool and eventually use it in my classroom. The session also reminded me of the importance of Netiquette, especially when using mobile phones at school so I will certainly remind my students as well.

MarijanaS said

Hi Anita! I totally agree with you. Just as JA mentioned, we need to settle the rules of behavior with our students esp if we allow them to use a mobile phone in the classroom. Some could use mobile phones for cheating or even inappropriate behavior, maybe recording other classmates without permission etc. I think the schools need to have really good and strict policies about that, but we cannot stop our student from not using the BYOD, instead, we need to teach them digital skills and Nettiquete. I would say, with "great power comes great responsibility" :))

I haven't used mobiles so far, but I think it will be a rewarding experience. It cannot be used with all types of students, though.

Jose Antonio da Silva said

at 3:51 pm on Jan 21, 2018

Vasiliki, that is good point. Maybe you need different rules for different types of students. I was just wondering what types of students would not be included. Just curious. Very young learners, maybe?

Ankica Saric said

Using mobile devices comes naturally to our students and this is where we feel the generation gap the most, not the music or fashion. I cannot say that I have a vast experience in using mobile devices in my classroom but from the experience I do have, I can say that students love it. They are especially happy when they can use their smart phones in class.

Jose Antonio da Silva said

at 3:53 pm on Jan 21, 2018

Ankica, the generation gap is visible if you adopt mobile learning. Younger students are usually more willing to take risks than older ones.

Kazik said

The webinar was very well prepared. It got me curious about even more tools so thank you for that. I am sure that implementation of mobile technologies can improve English learning process and make it much more attractive. Very often it's not that easy to keep students focused but this adds so much variety - technology which is everywhere today. We should definitely make a good use of it.

Jose Antonio da Silva said

at 5:55 am on Jan 22, 2018

Hello Kazik,
One thing that mobile learning does is to add variety. Thanks for pointing that out.

Raoudha said

It's the first time for me to attend a webinar. I enjoyed the professionalism of the hosts and the collaboration of both presenters. I really appreciated the warmimg up activity. The focus was to show how mobile learning can boost students motivation and participation and I think that the presenters have achieved that objective.

Jose Antonio da Silva said

at 5:57 am on Jan 22, 2018

Hi Raoukdha,
Webinars are a very appealing way of learning. It is very convenient because you can learn from the comfort of your home or work.

Simona Caponnetto said

at 5:48 pm on Jan 21, 2018

I’ve found this webminar really helpful
I didn’t consider some point well explained here , before
I think to resee and reserve much more time to organize my methodology even if I never underset it during my career
By the way one of those would be reevaluate from where to start a new explanation or to introduce new topics. Depart from device or from animation instead from my voice will be the difference 1

Jose Antonio da Silva said

at 5:59 am on Jan 22, 2018

Hello Simona,
These are good ideas. Asking students to use their gadgets at the beginning of a lesson sure gets them to pay attention.

I was able to watch the recording this morning with no problems (1am wasn't a good time for me!). I liked the interactivity, even though I couldn't participate. It showed how simple and fun this could be. I will now work out how to use Mentimeter and Kahoot! I will also download a QR code reader and work out how to generate codes through i-inigma. I liked the explanation that the QR code is really a shortcut, obviating use of those long urls that we always get wrong! The idea of making a poster then adding QR codes to link to audio explanations was brilliant - will definitely use this. Might also sometimes give students QR codes for listening audios so they can work individually at their own pace with headphones. Still not quite sure how I could use Padlet effectively. I also don't understand how Instagram is better than say Whatsapp for sharing photos.

Jose Antonio da Silva said

at 6:04 am on Jan 22, 2018

Hi Sylvia,
We are happy you could watch it and enjoyed doing so. Mentimeter is really cool. I also got some ideas on how to use it. Even though you said it was not a good time for you, I saw that you managed to grasp the most important issues and ideas presented by us. Great job.

Marija said

at 1:55 pm on Jan 22, 2018

I'm glad I participated in this session. You two are a great team! I also like your warm-up with Mentimeter. Every year with new generations we realise they are more and more ready and eager to use technology in the classoom. I use mobile for Kahoot, or sometimes for Edmodo. With previous generations I had more problems to implement this but this year the first day I gave them the code they all entered my virtual classroom. It motivates me as well to prepare new things for them so I decided this year I'm going to look closer at QR-codes and use them in my teaching.

Jose Antonio da Silva said

Hi Marija,
Thanks for your kind words. It was great to present with Marijana. Good luck with QR-Codes. I am sure you will love it.

Tatiana Sanchez said

Thank you for this session! I have never heard of Menti before. This would be a nice icebreaker at the beginning of a semester. Students can stay anonymous and it's helpful because they tend to be shy during the first class. As for Kahoot, my students love this educational game. I will definitely give QR Codes a try.

Jose Antonio da Silva said

at 7:54 am on Jan 27, 2018

Hi Tatiana,
We are glad you enjoyed the session. My students also love Kahoot. Menti is really a great tool

Hello friends , today i’ve attended a session about augmented reality at my school. The teacher presented to us a funtastic way to use we code . Funtastic for who like me works at primary school and would like to optimize spaces and object in class . Really often our library is messy and books are impossible to find out!
So here the qrcode!!!
Cut a smal rectangular and organize the library with pictures made by childreen and qrcode on the top.
In class we’ve got tablets , old but a treasure for us,we could use that to read through the qrcode the trama of the book and after have choose it we can keep it from an other library may be in the corridor of the school . It could be an idea but I though it was funtastic to share with you .

Jose Antonio da Silva said

Hi Simona,
That is a fantastic idea to use Qr-codes. Great way of transforming a reading activity.

Clara.lucano said

at 9:43 am on Jan 25, 2018

I like Menti, but if you want more than 3 question you have to pay. It's a really great tool as ice breaker, but also, if you can use for example 10 question ( and you can add images, graph ... ) it could be great to teach topics.

Besma Maraoui said

I watched the live webinar and was really excited to try the Kahoot quiz. The use of QR codes is also appealing. The problem is that mobile phones are not permitted at school even though many pupils have smart phones. I will try to make use of them and see the outcome and the effect on pupils' performance. I think it's really important to make use of these tools which are available and can help the learning process as well as the learners' autonomy. I admit I am far away from using technology effectively but this is an opportunity to try and check. I feel there is so much to learn and practise before putting such knowledge at students' reach.

Jose Antonio da Silva said

at 7:58 am on Jan 27, 2018

Hi Besma,
Too bad you are not allowed to use mobile phones. As you said, it is a good idea to try some ideas out. Good luck on your endeavors and count on us if assistance is needed.

Hi, Besma,
Mobile phones are not allowed in my school, either, but I started introducing them tentatively, discreetly, as a beginning, with groups and activities where I was confident they would be a resounding success. In this way the positive impact their educational use had was a shield against any potential complaints!

Anica Fintić said

I watched a recording of the live session and like the ideas you presented, I use some of them already like Kahoot and Plickers, but, I must admit, sometimes find it too time-consuming to master new tools and apps and to to find relevant material that supports teaching. Also, there are sometimes technical obstacles to overcome but it is all worth it when I see that my students love doing such things and get more engaged and motivated.

At long last, I have had the time to watch the recording of this as engaging as enlightening live session. I was converted to mobile learning in an earlier session, but this year the conditions are favourable in my school for me to further implement BYOD.
I can only encourage new ICT4ELT members who may feel apprehensive or in doubt to embrace mobile learning as it can only yield rewarding results.
I cannot resist the temptation to refer to Nicky Hockly ’s ever judicious comment that technology must serve a pedagogical purpose, only to endorse it, and add my conviction that BYOD can both effectively enhance learning and make it a fun experience.
I am myself a fan of QR codes and my learners have embraced them enthusiastically, too. As was pointed out in the chatbox, BYOD fosters sharing knowledge and collaborating, not only with the teacher communicating information , but also with the students exploring and teaching us –so gratifying for an educator, so empowering for a learner!

I have tried my first kahoot game and my pupils played it live and it was really very exciting and competitive. For the pupils who didn't have connection in class, they wanted to try it at home but every time there is a new code. Is it possible to set a fixed code so that they can play it at any time they find convenient?

It is called Challenge. After you create your quiz, you just click on the Challenge button and follow the instructions. You can challenge your students to do the quiz for homework. The link and the pin will work as long as you set them in the challenge option.
