Teaching with Technology: Some Pedagogical ImplicationsDilip Barad
This presentation is about some pedagogical implications in using technology in the classroom. Based on Vygotsky's philosophy of constructivism, if teachers use technology as a method of delivery in the classroom, it can make huge difference in connecting the class with the outside world.

Global Faculty Development for Online Language Education Steve McCarty
Distinguished Speaker presentation at the International Webinar held on October 1, 2020 in New Delhi by the School of Foreign Languages, Indira Gandhi National Open University. This presentation shows how global faculty development represents surprisingly specific actions to bring educators and university faculties up to global academic standards. We could be heroes with online presence and achievements that bring individual recognition and higher global rankings. In the current world situation, teaching online is suddenly universal, and lifestyles will continue largely online. For language teachers, the presentation will consider many educational technologies, whether needing high data processing or preferably low bandwidth, and useful for teachers as well as students.
Symposium on Utilizing Emerging Technologies and Social Media to Enhance EFL ...Steve McCarty
This symposium presentation at the International Association of Applied Linguistics AILA 2014 World Congress in Brisbane, Australia examines the impact and potential of communication technologies in learning EFL. Case studies focusing on higher education in Japan show how mobile technologies and social media could improve language acquisition in Asian EFL contexts and beyond. Teaching with sound pedagogies and communication technologies, accessed by computers and hand-held devices, can bring about better outcomes through ubiquitous language learning. Impacts can span from better language comprehension to active involvement in learning communities generated in cyberspace. This symposium will thus detail how these emerging technologies are utilized to reform EFL classroom practices. The international presenters, based at five different universities, will theoretically and practically examine factors for successful EFL learning with emerging technologies. M-learning can generate contexts for active learning with learners as agents and creators rather than spectators or recipients of knowledge. We will particularly examine a) how to implement m-learning in institutional settings, b) what makes learners willingly use mobile devices and become involved in social contexts they themselves generate, and c) how teachers can help learners with scaffolding to develop agency as individuals who voluntarily engage with the social context. Among the emerging technologies demonstrated are Social Media, such as Facebook and Twitter, media players like iPods, tablet computers like iPads, iBooks Author for interactive, illustrated, multimedia artifacts that students can also create, and blended e-learning using a content management system and smart phones for m-learning. These studies will shed light on motivational attitudes towards these technologies for language learning, and measure how these tools have impacted L2 acquisition. This slideshow combining the five presentations in the symposium was lost after AILA failed to post it as promised, then rediscovered after five years.

Two Ways to Look at Life | The Only StoryDilip Barad
There were two ways of looking at life; or two extremes of viewpoint, anyway, with a continuum between them.
One proposed that every human action necessarily carried with it the obliteration of every other action which might have been performed instead; life therefore consisted of a succession of small and large choices, expressions of free will, so that the individual was like the captain of some paddle steamer chugging down the mighty Mississippi of life.
The other proposed that it was all inevitability, that pre-history ruled, that a human life was no more than a bump on a log which was itself being propelled down the mighty Mississippi, tugged and bullied, smacked and wheedled, by currents and eddies and hazards over which no control was possible.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

the day, only if best
ideas are generated at
the beginning of the day.

4. Let’s empty our minds – make it devil’s
workshop
• ICT Audit
– Do you use technology for non-academic works?
How? Why?
– Do you use technology for academic works? How?
Why?
– Have you seen following TV commercials?
– What do they say?
• Two women at the Bus Stand – Airtel email in mobile
• Old Man and his device – Vodafone
• Save Trees – Idea
• Education for All – Idea
• Internet Baby
• Learned from TV
• Reunion
5. Why?
• What's wrong with present system?
• Learning Styles and History of EdTech
• Out come of the Research
• I teach, therefore you learn, or do you? (4.06)

Let’s conclude . . .
6. Paradigm Shift . . .
• No Problem . . . Purpose of education – future
generation – it is about Tomorrow, neither Today,
nor Yesterday
• From isolated learning to collaborative
learning…
• From teaching to ‘engage’ in learning process . . .
• From active learning to interactive learning…
• From downloaders to uploaders…
• From users to contributors…
• From islands to bridges…
• From teacher to student… (decentering the centre)
7. Why? Learning Styles
• No two individuals are similar, neither in their
teaching nor in the learning styles.
• Each and every class is unanimously a class of
mixed- ability.
• The IQ test of the class (or for that matter any
such tests) may display common ability among
the class/group but psychologically all have
different abilities in their learning.
8. • The ‘Psychological Types’ as described by C. G.
Jung and Myers-Briggs Type indicator - which
divides personality types along four
dimensions: introvert-extrovert, sensing-
intuitive, thinking-feeling, and perceiving-
judging. (Jung, 1921 & Myers, 1998)

9. No single learning style is appropriate
for everyone.
• While some students assimilate visual
information best, others prefer auditory
information.
• While some students prefer information to be
structured as facts about things, others prefer a
structure based on relationships among things.
• While some students prefer starting with first
principles and using deductive reasoning, others
prefer starting with examples and using inductive
approaches. (Sivilloti and Pike, 2007).

10. Three types of learners:
• From the perspective of personality type
theory, the edu-researchers have identified
three main types of learners, viz. visual,
auditory and tactile / kinesthetic.

12. WHY? Educational Technology
• Every new age has its own problems and has
to solve them …
• The journey – from the symbolic language of
pre-historical man to the symbolic language of
e-Modern teacher…
• Advancement form Oral – Spoken word to
written word… writing is also a technique…
• Four major advances in pedagogy…

18. Moodle Philosophy
• Constructivism:
– From a constructivist point of view, people actively
construct new knowledge as they interact with
their environments.
Creator: Martin Dougiamas, Perth, Western Australia

3.13 million courses
1.2 million teachers
206 countries
Available in 78 languages
Largest site – 607,500 users
Fast growing since 2003
19. Social Constructivism
• Social constructivism extends constructivism
into social settings, wherein groups construct
knowledge for one another, collaboratively
creating a small culture of shared artifacts
with shared meanings.
• When one is immersed within a culture like
this, one is learning all the time about how to
be a part of that culture, on many levels.
• Eg. Cup.
20. What message is conveyed by this
example
• If milkman wants to sell 10 liters of milk and cow
gives only 6 liters, how much water will he have
to mix with milk?
• 10 – 6 = 4 Liters.
• The message conveyed is - ‘there is nothing
wrong in mixing milk with water to increase
sales’.
• Raises questions – ethics in business – ‘Aren’t our
best models of entrepreneurship dealing with
mixing milk and water as ethical practices?’

21. Connected & Separate
• Separate behaviour is when someone tries to remain
'objective' and 'factual', and tends to defend their
own ideas using logic to find holes in their opponent's
ideas. (Negation, skepticism)
• Connected behaviour is a more empathic approach
that accepts subjectivity, trying to listen and ask
questions in an effort to understand the other point
of view. (accepting, positive)
• Constructed behaviour is when a person is sensitive
to both of these approaches and is able to choose
either of them as appropriate to the current
situation.

• A study of student teachers of English from three
universities in England to establish what their attitudes
were towards ICT and to identify key influences on their
practice and their thinking.
• The study suggests that these students have a broader view
of literacy than is currently predominant in schools and this
view positively embraces the role of ICT in literacy.
• Findings suggest that this cohort of newly qualified English
teachers have a positive and committed attitude towards
the use of ICT in the current and future literacy curriculum.

• This report explores ICT-literate primary and secondary
teachers' perceptions of how the internet has or has not
changed the way they taught reading and writing in their
classrooms.
• Findings indicated that the teachers viewed the internet's
influence on reading and writing as an extension of
traditional literacy skills but had difficulties finding internet
materials written for a range of reading levels. Teachers
were teaching skills of evaluating internet materials in more
depth and at a much earlier stage. (USA)

26. Blended Learning: Using Web Tools in
Convergence with Traditional Learning
• Several research on using technology in teaching has
pointed out that technology does help in enhancing
learning experience.
• At the same time most of the research agrees that
technology devoid of live contact, either online or
offline, without teacher is not that effective.
• Wherever and whenever institute attempted to
replace teacher with technology, it has failed
desperately.
• This throws light on the fact that blended learning is
going to emerge as the time tested mechanism for
convergence of technology with traditional teaching
methods.

35. It is vital for teachers to be comfortable in using ICT and
to ensure that students get full benefit of ICT and emerge
as citizens knowledgeable in the use of the information
technology with the aim of pursuing higher education or
entering the job market with relevant IT skills.
Teachers influence the life of students by being their role
models. They are the beacons of light who guide and
motivate students throughout their academic life.

be well versed with modern science and
technology.
