The Power of We: Using Tech Tools to Promote Collaboration
The Power of We: Using Tech Tools to Promote CollaborationNorth Carolina Association for Middle Level Education
New curriculum changes have created many challenges for educators across the state. In this session, participants will engage in practical applications of Web 2.0 tools designed to maximize productivity, develop personal learning networks and increase collaboration at all levels. Participants should bring their own devices for optimal access to resources.Digital Storytelling 2.0
Digital storytelling is evolving with new media, tools, messages, and networks. New media includes portable devices under 2 pounds with billions of cells and sensory abilities. New tools allow easier access and editing of media. New messages come through student-created stories that build understanding across borders. New networks help students develop their voice and writing skills to share their stories with wider audiences. The future of digital storytelling empowers individual voices and connects people globally.
Moodling without internet
ELearning is often touted as the way to ensure that everyone, irrespective of their geographical location, can participate in education and the learning management system is usually what enables this. The learning management system houses multi-media, assessments of all stripes, resources, wikis and social forums. But what happens when there is no internet? Do those without access have to forgo the opportunities and rich interaction afforded by the learning management system? This presentation, describes a project underway at the University of Southern Queensland to create a version of Moodle that doesn’t require internet access. And explores its possible application to a host of alternative contexts and uses.

A final example involves free interpretations of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" using digital tools. Contact information is provided for the author to see student examples and learn more about digital storytelling tools and techniques.
Teaching English with Technology
The document discusses the history and use of technology in teaching English, including early computer-assisted language learning (CALL) and technology-enhanced language learning (TELL). It describes different levels of technology adoption among teachers and students. Key aspects of using technology that are discussed include interactive whiteboards, social software like blogs and social networking sites, and websites and mobile applications for learning English skills like pronunciation, listening, speaking, reading, writing, vocabulary and grammar. The document provides examples of specific software, websites and mobile applications that can be used for each English skill.

Vision of the Future: Where will eLearning be in 2020?
A presentation I gave on 20 September 2010 in the LearnIT strand of the World Computer Congress (http://www.wcc2010.com/) held in Brisbane, Australia.
Literacy In The Humanities
The document discusses literacy skills needed for the 21st century classroom, including information literacy, visual/media literacy, and digital citizenship/ethical literacy. It examines whether new technologies require new skills from students or if they are just new tools for existing skills like note-taking, research, and presentation. A variety of web tools are presented that can help develop these new literacies through collaboration, creativity, and managing information.
#47 Dyslexia & Technology with Dr Kate Saunders of The British Dyslexia Assoc...
10% of the population are estimated to be dyslexic. That means that for every ten of your colleagues, or ten of your students, or ten of your relatives or friends, on average, 1 has dyslexia. In the work place, the law stipulates that you must make ‘reasonable adjustments’ to accommodate the needs of dyslexics. That might mean managing overloading environments such as open plan offices, adjusting intranets or screens so that they are less stimulating, allowing for longer time periods for organisation or kicking off a dyslexia mentoring scheme within your place of work. But what is being done before work, in schools, colleges, and Universities to move the national dialogue to one which celebrates neuro-diversity at the earliest moment?
Tesl canada panel mlearning final
The document discusses mobile learning (m-learning), which involves ongoing learning through mobile devices beyond just their use. M-learning can be informal, involving both consuming and creating content. It is convenient due to the portability and collaboration enabled by mobile devices. Research shows high ownership of mobile phones and smartphones among adults and young people in the US. M-learning implementation includes uses like homework, controlled classroom use, and collaborative writing. Current issues include market fragmentation, costs, access, learning curves, and small screens. References are provided on topics like the benefits of mobile learning and using mobile devices to increase environmental awareness.
Implementing and Facilitating Technology-Based Community Resource Centres
This is a session that I gave on creating a collaborative resource centre that English language learners can access anywhere at any time. I gave this at the BC TEAL Lower Mainland 2013 Regional Conference in Vancouver, BC.

Next Generation of Learners
This document summarizes key findings from the 2010 Speak Up survey conducted by Project Tomorrow with Florida high school students. Some of the main points are:
- Florida high school students see the best teacher role as a resource recommender and coach rather than solely a content expert.
- Students prefer learning through hands-on experiments and small group projects over traditional lectures.
- They want flexibility to learn at their own pace using various digital tools and resources.
- A personalized, mastery-based science class allowing choice and collaboration was seen as very beneficial.
- Trends include more student-directed learning and the development of personal expert networks anytime, anywhere.
