1. Technology, Teaching
and Me.
David Riley | Triptico

3. Technology allows us to be
innovative: to experiment with
imaginative ways of teaching our
students and to allow us to take
risks.
So…

4. What do we need?

5. 1. A Pen
2. A ‘Bingo’ Card
3. A Prize…

7. Motivate
Fantasy Football
Scoreboards
Competition

8. Create
Teacher / Students and Creators
Most valuable resource for a teacher: Time.
Word Magnets v. Laminating and Cutting!

9. Engage
The ‘fun’ element.

10. Express
Music, video, photography…
Class blog, radio station, website, animations…
And all, pretty much, for free.

11. Challenge
Example: ‘Check’ button.
An aid not good teaching, not a replacement for.
Open-ended activities and experimentation.

12. Support
Opportunities to search and ‘deepen’ understanding.
Example: word recognition app for language learners.

13. Adapt
Amend for individual learners.
Amend as things change / as knowledge increases –
at no cost!

14. Collaborate
Students can work together to create learning resources.
Evernote.
Class ‘Pinterest’ boards.

15. Communicate
Increase global awareness.
Skype with peers / teachers / experts / native speakers.
A Skype revision class?

16. Socialise
Twitter – a supportive community for teachers.
Niche Twitter accounts – ‘Of Mice and Men’

17. Access
Unlimited, unrestricted access to learning.
Limitless resources.
Learn anywhere.

18. Interact
Active, as opposed to passive, learning.
Hands-On!
My unresponsive map of Dublin!
