【推荐3】4 Apps to Enhance Distance Learning

Distance learning has become the new form of education since schools closed, and teachers have adapted – with the help of some truly amazing online applications.

Google Classroom

This popular application allows teachers to create online forums(论坛) to share courses, news, or lessons as well as a platform to assign, collect, and give feedback on student work. I’ve used Google Classroom for years, and it has become the cornerstone of my classroom throughout distance learning.

Google Forms

This application is often used to gather information in a variety of contexts(surveys, tests, etc.). Its test feature can be enabled to block users from opening other windows. It also offers auto-grading for multiple-choice tests. It has become a daily application in my classes during distance learning. I use it for pre-assessments, tests, and surveys.

Flipgrid

Flipgrid is a free online application that allows students and teachers to record short online videos. Teachers can easily create accounts and then within accounts create “classrooms.” From there, teachers can create posts for students to respond to via(通过) short videos.

Google Meet

Google Meet is an online meeting platform where teachers can share their screens with all participants to see as well as record the meeting. I’ve recorded all of my daily lessons and then posted the recordings to Google Classroom at the request of my students. This is a practice I’d like to continue even after distance learning as students really like the option to return to a recording of the day’s lesson to review it at their own pace.

1. Which application is perfect for tests?

A．Flipgrid.

B．Google Meet.

C．Google Forms.

D．Google Classroom.

2. What is a useful feature of Google Meet?

A．Responding to posts with short videos.	B．Recording lessons for review.
C．Creating online forums to share news.	D．Auto-grading students’ assignments.

3. What can we infer about the author?

A．He is a teacher.	B．He is an app designer.
C．He is tired of distance learning.	D．He is addicted to new technologies.

【推荐1】Canadians are blessed with an abundance of natural wonders with enough lakes, mountains and rivers to explore for a lifetime. We’ve also got some of the most amazing waterfalls on Earth.

Horseshoe Falls Niagara Falls, Ontario

Niagara Falls are the most famous waterfalls in Canada — and understandably so. Actually they are made up of three different falls, and the fittingly named Horseshoe Falls is the only one located on the Canadian side, which is the most powerful in North America. Multiple viewing options are available including tourist ships and sightseeing buses.

Nailicho (Nirginia Falls) Nahanni National Park Reserve, Northwest Territories

Coming in at twice the height of Niagara Falls, this massive waterfall is located on the South Nahanni River in the Northwest Territories. The remote location means it receives only about 1,000 visitors per year who must make their way by either boat or floatplane.

Takakkaw Falls — Yoho National Park, British Columbia

Takakkaw translated from Cree loosely means “the magnificent (壮丽的)”, and it’s a suitable word for the second-highest waterfall in Canada. After a steep drive up a winding road, Takakkaw Falls is only a short distance from the parking lot along a wheelchair accessible path.

Bridal Veil Falls — Bridal Veil Falls Provincial Park, British Columbia

Pretty and delicate, Bridal Veil Falls is located just east of Chilliwack, British Columbia, and really does look like its name, with water gently pouring over smooth rock. An easy 15-minute walk to the waterfall takes you through rich leaves. Tables are available to have a meal outdoors, and there are lots of opportunities for viewing wildlife along the way.

1. What do we know about Horseshoe Falls?

A．It is easily accessible.

B．It consists of three falls.

C．It limits tourist numbers.

This park is great for little kids looking to graduate from small-sized equipment to something a bit more challenging. The area isn’t shaded and the surrounding grass reserve area can become muddy (泥泞的) after rain.

Crace Grasslands Nature Reserve

The area is a huge grassland reserve and is home to several endangered animals, including the Striped Legless Lizard, the Golden Sun Moth and the Perunga Grasshopper. There are grassy tracks throughout the reserve for walking and bird-watching. There is also a horse-riding track in the reserve’s northeast.

There is a large playground with equipment to suit both small and older kids including swings, slides and climbing facilities. The playground area has some shaded seating.
