Apple-tudes are contagious!
Our Apple-tude can determine our success in using iPads in the classroom. You all heard: there’s an app for that. In fact, there are hundreds of thousands of apps on the market designed for teaching and learning. In this workshop we will explore apps available for instruction and for all curriculum areas. You will see examples of how they can be used successfullly in a collaborative, academic setting.
Today’s students live their lives through technology and are using a vast range of online tools and devices to access learning materials on the go. With this in mind, The Language Centre at Queen’s has created a number of microsites using free tools available online, to support students enrolled on IWLP Level 1 language classes.
As language learning is an accumulative process, the aim of our approach is not only to support, but also encourage interaction with our language course content in between weekly classes. Our students can now listen to audio files, watch animated videos and practice reading aloud short phrases to get more familiar with the language and to reinforce what is learned in class each week. As technology lends itself very well to personalised and independent learning outside the classroom, students now work at their own pace to revise course content, making our weekly language classes more relevant, engaging and accessible to all.
Taking advantage of a range of free online tools embedded in one site, we are now able to support language learning in a more widely accessible and user friendly way than ever before. In this parallel session, we would like to share our development experiences and demonstrate just how easy it is for others to accomplish something similar, using free tools available online to everyone.

Technology and Teaching: Finding a Balance
It's equally important to expose students to
information literacy skill sets…In a world flooded
with information to read, libraries have never
been more important. Along with digital and
information literacy skill sets, it's still vital that
we promote and encourage a love of reading
across all formats -- along with a facility for
questioning, analyzing, discerning and
synthesizing with other media.-Andrew Marcinek

4. Technology in the language classroom
Questions
• What technology tools are you
currently using in the classroom?
• What technology tools can you use
to address specific teaching and
learning goals in the classroom?
5. Technology
in the language classroom
SAMR Model
The Substitution Augmentation Modification Redefinition Model offers a method of seeing how computer
technology might impact teaching and learning.• Substitution
• Computer technology is used to perfrom the same task as was done before the use of computers
• augmentation:
• Computer Technology offers an effective tool to perform common tasks such as students take a quiz
using a Google Form instead of pencil and paper.
• listening to foreign songs on CD players,
• employing language programs on desk computers,
• watching movies with foreign subtitles,
• listening to directions on a GPS in another language
• Modification:
• This is the first step over the line between enhancing the traditional goings-on of the classroom and
transforming the classroom.
• using websites like Languages Online (Dept of Ed Vic) on interactive white boards
• changing your language settings on the computer, mobile phone, or tablet to adjust to your target
languages and the target language keyboards
• Redefintion:
• Computer technology allows for new tasks that were previously inconceivable.
• Students create a voice recorded and image saturated foreign language documentary on their
computers and upload it to Youtube.

8. Technology in the language classroom
Youtube
• Language learners can improve their learning
simply by watching a few You Tube videos
• Firstly search within YouTube for your target
language. Sift through the diversity of available
tutorials.
• Once you weed out the less helpful ones, you'll
see there are plenty of educational channels
dedicated to specific languages.
• Spend some time looking for the best channels
and videos for language learning.
11. Youtube
• YouTube other ideas
• Television episodes
• cartoons
• movie trailers
• students projects/performances

• traditional songs & music/ translated popular
songs

use to find ideas for all your projects and
interests.

13. Technology in the language classroom
edmodo
• edmodo
• When I wanted to introduce my students to
a collaborative learning space I asked how
other teachers were using Edmodo and then
reflected on how this tool served a purpose
for me as the language teacher.
16. showbie
• The paperless classroom made simple.
• Showbie makes it easy to assign, collect and review student
work in iPad classrooms.
• Showbie is both an app and a website – it allows for you to create classes
(as many as you like) and have students upload their documents, images
etc into showbie where you can give feedback either via notes or voice or
an image and only the child who you are giving feedback to can see it or
not give feedback via the app! I have created a school Showbie account for
my school and would advise someone from your school signing up and
administering the invites as this as it allows for unlimited assignments
rather than just signing up and having a limited number.- Raff’s rant.

18. Wordle
• Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds”
from text that you provide. The clouds give
greater prominence to words that appear
more frequently in the source text. You can
tweak your clouds with different fonts,
layouts, and color schemes. The images you
create with Wordle are yours to use however
you like. You can print them out, or save them
to the Wordle gallery to share.
