ITILT 2: LPM webinar

This document summarizes presentations from an interactive teaching workshop. It discusses two projects called iTILT that explored using technology for language teaching. The first project focused on using interactive whiteboards and developing teaching materials for them. The second project examined using mobile technologies, video exchanges between students, and videoconferencing for interactive language teaching based on task-based learning. Examples of lessons using these technologies were provided and criteria for designing materials for interactive teaching were discussed. The document emphasizes how the projects explored shifting from a focus on technologies themselves to their integration into pedagogical approaches like task-based language teaching.

This document summarizes two EU projects - iTILT and SmartVET - that promoted the effective use of interactive whiteboards (IWBs) in language education and vocational training. The iTILT project researched IWB use across Europe, developed training materials in multiple languages, and created a website with classroom videos and resources. SmartVET addressed the limited adoption of IWBs in vocational education by developing a train-the-trainer program and continuing professional development model for Irish vocational teachers. Both projects aimed to better understand how to integrate IWBs and maximize their benefits for teaching and learning.

Ideas on Internationalisation presented at Hogeschool Utrecht, 2011

Ton Koenraad presented on internationalization and virtual mobility programs. He discussed his experience developing ICT-related international projects and virtual exchange programs at Hogeschool Utrecht University of Applied Sciences from 1990 to 2011. Some key programs he mentioned include iTILT, e-CLIL, CATS Project, and NIFLAR. He also discussed trends in online learning like increased collaborative production learning, open educational resources, technologies that enable co-creation, and students taking a more active role as members of educational collectives rather than just consumers.

Presentation dodecahedron

This document summarizes a meeting about a project called "The Dodecahedron" that promotes cross-curricular learning. It describes how students in a primary school discovered a dodecahedron object in a museum and decided to use it as a symbol for their new knowledge. The project involves students collaborating across different classes and subjects to complete activities like writing a story about the dodecahedron and building a scale model of a Roman villa. The goals of the project are to encourage more engaging, lively and interesting learning by combining different subject areas and having students work together on a meaningful final product.

Technological Ecosystems for Enhancing Multiculturality

This document discusses a project called "The Dodecahedron" that was developed in 2003 and implemented in subsequent academic years at a school in Belgium. The project promotes cross-curricular, collaborative learning by having students from different subject areas like history, language, and carpentry work together on projects like writing a story inspired by a dodecahedron object or building a scale model of a Roman villa. The projects are designed to make subjects more interesting for students and encourage skills like teamwork, additional research, and perseverance. They can be easily reproduced by teachers without additional funding by using existing school resources and periods.

The document provides information about the SmartVET project, which aims to improve training for vocational education teachers in Ireland on the use of interactive whiteboards (IWBs). The project will identify best practices in IWB training from other countries in Europe and provide Irish vocational teachers with competencies and resources to better design lessons and integrate IWBs into their everyday teaching. Project outcomes include analyzing teachers' IWB training needs, an online community for teachers to collaborate, and training programs and materials to be showcased at information bootcamps. Contact details are provided for organizations involved.

This document summarizes Ton Koenraad's presentation about using 3D virtual worlds in language education and teacher training projects. It describes two projects involving student teachers: the ViTAAL Project, which included a Virtual Language Village and interactive story activities, and the NIFLAR project, which focused on developing intercultural communication skills through video chat and virtual world tasks. Evaluations found that the projects provided authentic language practice and increased student motivation, but required substantial preparation time and technical issues sometimes arose. Student teachers gained experience designing materials and interacting with students online.
