This document discusses using technology to enhance learning, particularly in primary school foreign language classrooms. It provides examples of how social media like Twitter, online tools like Duolingo and Memrise, and apps can be used for activities like asking questions, sharing work, celebrating accomplishments, getting feedback, and practicing languages through songs, rhymes, and interactive activities. Recommendations are made for classroom management of social media and specific tools are highlighted for speaking, listening, creating stories and using codes.

Enhance learning through
technology.

Global Learning as Pedagogy, Not as a Project... It’s time to move beyond the “wow” factor of a global project designed to connect your students with other kids who happen to live halfway around the world. Most of these projects don’t go beyond students working parallel to each other, contributing their perspective, data, or participating in Q & A sessions via synchronous or asynchronous technology platforms. Global skills, literacies, and capacities need to push our teachers and students to not just talk about the world, but learn, speak, and collaborate with the world. Let’s explore examples and ideas to connect to experts, mentors, and peers from around the world as a way of teaching and learning. ‣ the amplified possibilities of global connections to move beyond your classroom, ‣ a global learning network at your disposal, ‣ using your imagination to bring the world (language and culture) to your students, ‣ opportunities to support and embed 21st century skills and literacies in your curriculum, ‣ a showcase of examples from the World Language classroom.

Bringing web 2.0 into the classroom

Looking at the “Now” literacies, , including digital, media and global literacy, we are preparing students for a time when what they know is not as important, in comparison, to what they can do with what they know. We are becoming a society where consumers have become producers and increasingly are required to being contributors. How does this translate into the classroom? What does this mean in terms of professional development and continued learning for teachers? How do we become leaders in the NEW literacies and make them NOW literacies in our schools? We are looking at these NOW literacies through the lens of SHARING. How can we use the power of networks to raise awareness and support our students in experiencing these skills? What would happen if no one shared?

Disappear or disrupt

Lawrie Phipps

The 'success' of the web, the government's push to get everyone connected and ongoing funding cuts all put pressure on universities to employ technology to increase efficiency. Digital technology is often promoted as a panacea which fails only because not everyone 'learns how to use it properly'. It is clear how technology can continue to improve administrative processes but its use more directly in teaching and learning can be more difficult to evaluate?. Many want technology to be so intuitive that it seamlessly melds with their existing practice and 'disappears into use' while others see it as an opportunity to disrupt the status quo and forge new ways of working. Alongside this there is a fear that incoming students will expect certain web-like technologies to be integrated into their learning and that institutions will appear out-moded if they don't engage with the latest platforms. In this talk I will explore the disappear/disrupt continuum and the potential digital technology has to support teaching and learning beyond being a simple content delivery system. I will also discuss the Digital Visitors & Digital Residents principle which can be used as a tool to assess how students might react to certain forms of technology thereby avoiding the 'scatter-gun' approach to using new platforms.
