This document discusses the use of iPads in the classroom from the perspective of ChinHuei Yeh of Shrewsbury Public Schools. It covers essential questions Yeh asks before each lesson, the school's multi-year rollout of a 1:1 iPad program, potential benefits of using iPads including increased engagement and support for different learning styles, and examples of apps used for content consumption and creation. Yeh also addresses challenges like app integration and technical issues, and emphasizes that the iPad is just one tool that must be used appropriately to enhance lessons, not as the primary focus.
iPad: Converting the Classroom into a Mobile Language Lab
ChinHuei Yeh presented on transforming the language classroom with iPads. Traditionally, language labs involved fixed seating and reserving time slots for listening practice, but iPads allow for mobile language labs with more spontaneous and embedded learning. With iPads, teachers can create lessons that engage students through varied activities from mechanical drills to more creative and communicative tasks. Yeh demonstrated how apps can be used for language practice, creation of student work, and recording speaking assessments.

Using e-Portfolios for Student Centred Learning
This is my slideshow for my ULearn11 breakout:
We have been using e-Portfolios with Year 1 to 6 students at Elm Park School since 2007 and shortly afterwards made the decision to use our e-Portfolios as our sole method of reporting to parents. During this presentation we will discuss our ongoing journey to implement e-Portfolios school-wide, our purpose behind the decision to start the journey, the successes and the challenges - warts and all! We’ll have a look at some e-Portfolios examples and share the professional development, resources, equipment and web 2.0 tools that we have found most useful to help us along the way.
We use KnowledgeNET’s Learning Journals at Elm Park School to create our e-Portfolios but this workshop will also be of interest to those using other applications.

This document discusses education as a complex ecosystem and the implications for developing student communicative competence. It argues that education is an unresolved practice that requires continuous work and movement. The school is viewed as a living ecosystem where education involves performance. CLIL is presented as a new consolidated object and language that motivates many teachers when implemented effectively by focusing on achievement, recognition, responsibility and growth. Key skills are developed through tasks and integrated projects involving cooperation, digital literacy, research projects, gaming, entrepreneurship, and service learning. Universities can support these efforts by providing open educational resources and cooperation.Web 2.0 for Educators
The document discusses the future of education and technology in the classroom. It suggests that classrooms of the future may replace desks and books with digital devices like laptops, e-readers, and tablets. Teachers could use technologies like video conferencing, Google Docs, podcasts, and social media to enhance instruction, collaboration, and student engagement. Challenges include training teachers, funding infrastructure upgrades, and preparing students with 21st century skills for a changing job market that increasingly requires technology proficiency.

The power of adaptive learning media in the classroom. Learning is social. Bring the real world into the classroom and apply the learning to our real world life experiences. Make the learning real.
Flipping and connecting your classroom langside
The document discusses the concept of connected learning and flipping the classroom. Connected learning involves learning through real-life scenarios, interdisciplinary activities, communication, collaboration and using technology to facilitate interaction. It can enhance the learning experience by making learning more connected. Flipping the classroom inverts traditional teaching by delivering instruction online and using class time for activities, group work and assessment. The benefits include more flexibility for learners, maximizing the use of time, and allowing teachers to work directly with students. Preparation is needed to amend lesson plans and develop supporting materials for online instruction.
