Master Learners
Warlick’s definition of teachers being master learners is from his post here:
Warlick, D. (2010, October 8). Are they students or are they learners? [Blog post]. Retrieved from http://2cents.onlearning.us/?p=2762

Flipped learning as a framework for blended learning
Three stages of flipped learning
Materials are prepared in advance and placed somewhere that learners can use them to prepare for the lesson in their individual learning space
Materials are utilized in a group work space (having already been presented, they can be explored, interacted with, and augmented creatively).
Materials are left in place (archived) where students can review them along with artifacts created , and submit follow-up questions and comments
Four pillars of flipped learning

Four ways to set up feedback loops in your blended classroom
Polling - a good way to get started
Google Forms
Please take this survey
https://forms.gle/x9ua5CZQHVCUG7WR6
Poll Everywhere
Free, designed for handheld devices
Create polls at https://www.polleverywhere.com/
How people can respond
Via Website
Audience can respond at https://www.polleverywhere.com/vancestevens602 as long as the poll is active. (?)
or by Text messaging
Presenter session: Audience texts VANCESTEVENS602 to +61 429 883 481 to join the session, then they text 123
Survey Monkey
I like survey Monkey because it generates charts which can be screen-captured and pasted into other documents
Here are instructions to a project where students had to create surveys and gather data using Survey Monkey, and then give PowerPoint presentations explaining the results of their research.
Here is a poll on what it means to be a model teacher
There are three questions,
What do teachers, students, and master learners mainly do?
Possible answers: Model, demonstrate, practice, or reflect?

Padlet
What would you like to know more about? Crowdsource an answer ...
(Padlet used to be called Wallwisher)
How do YOU learn English
Tell us what tool, technique, or system has most helped you to learn English.
Post any questions (or answers) you have here.
If you want to be recognized, begin your post with your name.
https://padlet.com/vancestev/m4di4rjnsdqo
This padlet was interesting. I posted it last Thursday and used it again on Friday.
When returned to it on Monday I found that several more comments had been posted over the weekend!
https://padlet.com/vancestev/kafcj8fyhpy6
The question came from a participant who wanted to know more about:
He got a lot of answers :-)
Padlet is free for only ONE padlet. I suppose you can delete one and replace it as long as you have only one in your account at a time.
If you need more, it's $12 a month. It's the only tool in this wiki that is not free, and not very useful if you can't create them as needed.

Wakelet
A possible alternative to Padlet.
With Padlet you can only have one free Pad.
Wakelet has appeared to correct this problem.
It appears to allow users to start collections of links. Users can add contributors who can in turn add links.
You can try Bobbi's code here: https://wakelet.com/i/invite?code=9da913f

Backchannels
Etherpad?
Etherpad is an open wiki where anyone can create a document online and give it's URL to others so they can see it and also write on it.
Introduce yourself on this Etherpad
I created an Etherpad for this workshop. You can leave a message for everyone here if you like.
https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Workshops2020
Create your own Etherpad
Anyone can create a NEW etherpad at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/
Try it, give your etherpad a name (your name perhaps?) and hit OK
If you create your own etherpad and write something to share with the workshop there,
leave your name and the URL of YOUR Etherpad at the link above
Yo!Teach - a useful backchannel tool
Etherpad is available to ANYONE with the link. There is no password.
It's a wiki, so you can recover a previous state, but none of your users are credentialled.
Yo!Teach emerged from http://palms.polyu.edu.hk/ last year to replace the loss of Today's Meet.
If you want a more secure semi-credentialled environment for class use, you can set a password on Yo!Teach
Need quick help? Need a back channel?
Try YoTeach! to ask backchannel questions
At that link, use the password 2020 but don't tell anybody; it's a secret password ;-)
During class times or online meetings, if you are having a problem, you can post a message in Yo!Teach and,
maybe, there will be someone at the other end who can help.
If there is no one there you can at least leave your message and if you leave a name or contact we'll get back to you at some point.
The idea is to use it concurrently with live events
Tagging
Why would you want to aggregate content around tags?
It is common for conferences to set a TAG for their conference, for example #thaitesol20; or this workshop tag, #jan29swuic
If you are in a presentation at the conference you can take a photo or comment on the presentation and post it to a site that collects, or aggregates, all the posts to that site around tags people assign to their posts
If other people do the same then their combined posts using the common tag can be aggregated and displayed by users who search for them on the site according to their tag.
Examples of sites that do this include
Here is a good example from a conference in Danang recently, https://twitter.com/search?q=glocall2019
Or, on Facebook, do a tag search on #ELSpecialist, https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/elspecialist
See what have other workshop participants have done with tagging
Your tagged creations will appear here: archives2020
We will try to see how this works here using Twitter, and the unique search link for a given group
(giving the search link for the last time I presenterd these workshops as an example) https://twitter.com/search?q= jan29swuic
Here are the Workshop tags to replace tag of the day you should use
Mon Jan 20 - #jan20reli
Tue Jan 21 - #jan21ubru
Wed Jan 22 - #jan22ubru
Thu Jan 23 - #jan23culi
Fri Jan 24 - #jan24buu
Mon Jan 27 - #jan27crru
Tue Jan 28 - #jan28crru
Wed Jan 29 - #jan29swuic
Make a tagged post to your Twitter feed (or Facebook or Instagram)
VIDEO https://youtu.be/dYP-wBaqQAI
If you are on Twitter, or Facebook, or Instagram, make a post there using our workshop tag #jan29swuic
