The document discusses teaching languages in the 21st century using technology. It covers how technology has advanced in areas like mobile communications, aeronautics, and education. It emphasizes that technology should be integrated into language teaching and learning in interesting, creative, fun, and safe ways that promote communication, interaction, collaboration and digital literacy skills. The document encourages teachers to embrace technology despite limitations, take risks, and work with others to overcome obstacles and go beyond circumstances in their contexts.
The impact of innovation on travel and tourism industries (World Travel Marke...Brian Solis
From the impact of Pokemon Go on Silicon Valley to artificial intelligence, futurist Brian Solis talks to Mathew Parsons of World Travel Market about the future of travel, tourism and hospitality.
We’re all trying to find that idea or spark that will turn a good project into a great project. Creativity plays a huge role in the outcome of our work. Harnessing the power of collaboration and open source, we can make great strides towards excellence. Not just for designers, this talk can be applicable to many different roles – even development. In this talk, Seasoned Creative Director Sara Cannon is going to share some secrets about creative methodology, collaboration, and the strong role that open source can play in our work.

Each technological age has been marked by a shift in how the industrial platform enables companies to rethink their business processes and create wealth. In the talk I argue that we are limiting our view of what this next industrial/digital age can offer because of how we read, measure and through that perceive the world (how we cherry pick data). Companies are locked in metrics and quantitative measures, data that can fit into a spreadsheet. And by that they see the digital transformation merely as an efficiency tool to the fossil fuel age. But we need to stretch further…

Impact of Technology and Globality in Engineering EducationManuel Castro
This invited presentation during REV 2015 in Bangkok will show how new global activities and technology are impacting Engineering Education. New ways of teaching, such as MOOCs and blended learning, as well as different kinds of learning analytics, assessment and engagement will be analyzed and connected. The evolution of teaching through face-to-face, distance learning and now online learning will be linked to the increasing use of technology in teaching, analyzing the main critical factors in the EHEA, USA and other reference countries and continents. This evolution is driving us to blended learning and jumping to open education (OCW and MOOCs) caused today by a change in the higher education paradigm pushed by the international crisis as well as the in-depth refurbishing of the public and private university roles in the different education steps and in longlife learning.

Technology and outdoor education: Some experiential possibilitiesJames Neill
There is a philosophical tension in outdoor education about the role of technology. On one hand, outdoor educators seek to distance participants from technology in order to provide “a place apart”. On the other hand, most outdoor education programs rely on a growing plethora of outdoor and safety gear, electronic navigation and communication, and transport technologies. Despite this, outdoor education tends to be somewhat unadventurous in its pedagogical use of technology. Instead, we might experiment with a wider spectrum of technologies (from low tech to high tech). By considering possibilities from across the technological gamut – e.g., from survival programs (low tech) to urban challenges with mobile electronic devices (high tech) – we might enrich our understanding of outdoor learning processes and engage different types of participants.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Digital literacy
According to UNESCO’s ICT Competency Standards for Teachers (2008) to
live, learn, and work successfully in an increasingly complex, information-
rich and knowledge-based society, students and teachers must utilize
technology effectively. Within a sound educational setting, technology can
enable students to become:
• Capable information technology users
• Information seekers, analyzers, and evaluators
• Problem solvers and decision makers
• Creative and effective users of productivity tools
• Communicators, collaborators, publishers, and producers
• Informed, responsible, and contributing citizens

What’s the real reason?
Poor investment in technology
Living in a developing country
Limited Internet access
Slow speed connection
Power problems
Poor knowledge on technology use
Teachers and students’ reluctancy
Misconceptions about technology

15. Izquierdo, E (2013) Teaching languages in the XXI century
Some misconceptions are:
Technology is the solution.
Technology must be taught as a separate
subject.
Technology must be the focus of the class.
Technology must be “off” in class.
The class must be teacher-centered.
There is nothing we can do if we don’t have
Internet connection or a computer lab.

what children and
adolescents do
nowadays.

37. Izquierdo, E (2013) Teaching languages in the XXI century
Don’t be afraid!
Take risks!
Join forces with colleagues!
Keep on working, be persistent and
overcome obstacles!
Go above and beyond the
circumstances!
Be ready to cross your own borders!
