How much practice is enough?

 Yesterday I previewed 2 OER textbooks for Spanish.  Both could work well for my 1411 and 1412 sections.  One I really liked--it was written for the flipped classroom model and I could see it working very well for a hybrid class.  It could also work for an online class, but the students would have to do weekly online chats.  Possible and probably an excellent idea from a pedagogical standpoint.

This is all very different than what I currently have.  Currently, they pay $139 and with it they get a phenomenal curriculum with tons of bells and whistles.  The assignments are all online and 98% auto-graded by the Connect robot.

If I go to the OER text that I like I will have to rethink how they practice the material.  I'm wondering how much practice is enough?  Could I make Quizlet graded?

I love the thought of making the class look like this:

1-learn it.  (Read, take notes, memorize--marinate in the information--to get a really good understanding of it)

2-practice it.  (Drill, repetition, use it in conversation)

3-master it.  (Be ready for quizzes and usage in spontaneous conversation) 

My plan is to stay as focused as possible on this.

Discussing AI usage with students

Today in class we wrapped up Ch 1.  Ch 1 Quiz is later this week. I have found that many students have test anxiety.  I have weekly announcements I send out to my beginning classes that give study tips.  Hopefully this helps them feel more prepared as we go into quizzes and tests.  This point of the class is a natural time to discuss ethical usage of AI. Today we discussed ethical usage of AI with Spanish.  It was a great discussion.   A student pointed out it's helpful to use AI to make practice material to study.  This was new for me. I give them a chapter 1 summary that has everything on it.  In my mind, use that to study the material.  Make flash cards.  Practice them. I'm unsure how an AI can improve upon that, but if a student has found a way to learn the material, fantastic.

Amazing OER materials

As I'm building my Spanish conversation class, I'm thrilled that our librarian helped me find an amazing resource.  It's videos of Native-Spanish speakers telling about specific topics:  numbers, food, colors, etc.  The videos are very short and easy for beginning students to understand. They also already have CC in English and Spanish.  This resource is fantastic.   Hooray for wonderful OER resources!

Receiving feedback

 I'm in the process of creating my 5th class using OER materials.  Whew.  That's a lot. This time around, I'm creating a class I haven't taught before.  When I redesigned my 1411 class I had already taught it numerous times with 2 different curricula, both excellent.  I knew what the class should feel like.  I switched over to using different materials, but it wasn't really new to me.  The same was true for the other 3 classes I redesigned. This time around I'm creating a conversation class.  I'm at the point now where I have the scope and sequence complete and each chapter has a summary of the vocab we'll be studying.  I'm now building out the drill assignments.   When I build assignments I like to label them as "drill" or "apply."  With a drill assignment, students know they are practicing the information at a very basic comprehension level.   Today I wrote a drill assignment and just wasn't sure if it was good....
