Sp 102 ~ Voicethread para el capítulo 6 ~ Spring 2011

Nexos Voicethreads: Each of you will produce four Voicethreads over the course of the semester. We will cover five chapters in Nexos, this semester. You will choose four out of five chapters on which to develop Voicethread scripts to record and post on our blog. The topics, vocabulary and grammar you must use in each of the Nexos Voicethreads will be posted to the blog in advance of the due date for each Voicethread.

Here is the first Voicethread of the semester. Use chapter 6 of your textbook to review the vocabulary and grammar you need to complete your Voicethread.

Write a script that responds to the requirements of the topic. Hand it in to Profe. She will correct your script so that you can learn it. Once you are confident that you are ready to record your Voicethread, go for it!

If you choose to do one of your four Voicethreads on this chapter six Voicethread topic, please hand in your script no later than Friday, February 25th. The deadline for recording this Voicethread will be the following Wednesday, March 3rd.

See your Voicethread assignment for chapter 7, below…

Note that you should email Profe the script of your Voicethread no later than Monday, March 21. She will return your work by Wednesday, March 23rd. Then, you will have a week to learn your script and to record your Voicethread. You should have your Voicethread posted no later than Monday, March 28th. If you wish to use the webcams in FRED, let Profe know so she can help set one up for you. If you have a webcam and/or microphone on your own computer, feel free to record your Voicethread from home!

¡Diviértete! 🙂

Sp 201 ~ Proyectos de Voicethread ~ Fall 2010

¡Hola a todos!

SCROLL DOWN TO SEE THE SECOND VOICETHREAD…

Below, you will find the links you need to follow to gain access to our first Voicethread Project. It is based on the work you have already done on the theme of “Mi restaurante favorito” and on the Spanish Proficiency Videos you studied on your own in these last weeks.

Voicethreads are due: Tuesday, September 28th, 5pm.


Once you have completed this Voicethread activity, you will have shown how well you have achieved your BATs (Be Able To’s) for chapter 9 . The first slide shows the first page of the document that accompanies the videos you studied to help train your ear and to help you learn related vocabulary and grammar. On this page, you will see me explaining the assignment in Spanish. The next page contains a video that is a good example of the kind of recording you should aim to produce.

Important: You MAY NOT read the text you prepared on the theme of “Mi Restaurante favorito.” You May use a bullet list with key words (palabras clave) to help you remember what you want to say.

You will have as many chances as you wish to record your Voicethread audio/video.

You will see next to your name, once you have logged in, a little trash can icon. If you are not satisfied with your recording, you can “throw your recording in the trash” and start again!

If you do not yet have a webcam or a microphone on your own computer, use the computers in FRED. All have microphones installed.

Note, too, that on some computers, voicethread videos do not play (the screen goes grey) on Internet Explorer. Should this happen, try to view the voicethread with Mozilla Firefox. I have had no trouble with videos on my Mac using Safari. Please post to this page any problems you are having with any of this technology. Sign your name, please!

To actually WORK with this voicethread and add your own audio and/or video, you must:

  • First, get your own voicethread account by subscribing at:
    http://voicethread.com

Click here to record your Chapter 9 Voicethread !! 🙂

    ¡Estoy ansiosa de ver sus videos! (I can’t wait…!)Voicethreads are due: Tuesday, September 28th, 5pm.

    Here is the voicethread you have created! I believe this link is “hot,” meaning: the voicethread you see here updates more or less automatically. Check it out!

Below, you will find the SECOND voicethread (for capítulo 10):

I have changed the DUE DATE: Submit your guión via email no later than Thursday, October 28th.

You will receive corrections in class on Friday, October 29. Then, you will have until Tuesday, November 2nd to record your voicethreads.

Sp 101 Voicethread Projects ~ Fall 2010

¡Hola a todos!

Below, you will find our first Voicethread Project. It is based on Actividad 17, in your Workbook (either in your textbook or online, at www.books.quia.com) . Once you have completed this Voicethread activity, you will have shown how well you have achieved your BATs (Be Able To’s) for chapter 1. The first slide shows you what the activity looks like; the second slide is a video of me (Profe) providing you an example of what you should be able to say in your own voicethread.

First, you will write out all the sentences you will learn and practice speaking. Second, you will email them to me or hand them in so I can correct them for you. You will learn the corrected version of your sentences.

You will have as many chances as you wish to record your Voicethread audio/video. You will see next to your name, once you have logged in, a little trash can icon. If you are not satisfied with your recording, you can “throw your recording in the trash” and start again!

If you do not yet have a webcam or a microphone on your own computer, use the computers in FRED. All have microphones installed.

To view this Voicethread to see what this first assignment is, click on the “Play” arrow in the middle of the screen, below. (Note: to actually record and submit your own work, scroll down to the voicethread links at which you will set up your voicethread account and then join either SPA 101.01 or SPA 101.02):

Note: To view the Voicethreads on the full screen of your computer, look in the upper right hand side of the Voicethread. You will see an “X” icon. To the left of it, there is a control button that will expand your screen. To return to the normal view of your Voicethread, press the “ESC” key on your computer (on the top left of your keyboard).

Note, too, that on some computers, voicethread videos do not play (the screen goes grey) on Mozilla Firefox. Should this happen, try to view the voicethread with Internet Explorer. I have had no trouble with videos on my Mac using Safari. Please post to this page any problems you are having with any of this technology. Sign your name, please!

To actually WORK with this voicethread and add your own audio and/or video, you must:

  • First, get your own voicethread account by subscribing at:
    http://voicethread.com
  • To join our Sp 101.01 group on voicethread, click on this link:

El Día de las madres

Esta presentación es de Michael “Jota Jota” Van Deusen.  JJ  diseño esta presentación para los alumnos de la clase de SPA 101 ~ Fall 2010.  Hizo muchas investigaciones útiles.  Puedes utilizar esta presentación para aprender mucho sobre las costumbres y actitudes en el mundo hispano sobre la persona de la madre en la familia.  ¿La familia hispana te parece muy diferente de la tuya?  ¿Cómo?  Vamos a discutirlo juntos en la clase.

The books.quia.com site has been servicing their site.  This has made it impossible for me to input assignments on the site.  YOU, on the other hand, can access the site and work on it with no problem.

Not all assignments for SPA 101.01 for Monday, October 18, are visible.  This is what you can see:
