Transcription de la présentation

  1. New Technology Expanding your resource repertoire to support learners Richard Nelson \ Hilary Woodhead

  2. “this ‘telephone’ has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication.” Western Union memo 1876 “...there’s a world market for about 5 computers.” Thomas Watson, Chairman IBM 1943. “Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons." Popular Mechanics, 1949 Sceptical?

  5. Do you use technology to communicate with your students?

  6. Do your students use technology to communicate with each other?

  7. Have you heard of ?

  8. Could you define ‘social network’?

  9. Have you got a social network account (e.g. Facebook) ?

  10. Do you know what a blog is?

  11. Can you remember what a wiki is?

Texting Mind Genius Students’ work Discussion Boards Internet Interactive Whiteboards VLEquizzes Existing websites VLE, Intranet and shared network Activote Web design software Chat Quiz Tools In house tools QUIA Hot Potatoes

  13. Definitions • ILT (difference between that and IT/ICT?) Information (sometimes ‘interactive’ or integrated) Learning Technology • E learning (previously ‘e’ at a distance (online learning) but less so now) • Blended learning • Online learning (distant vs distance)

  14. Rationale • ILT impact – benefits? and resources e.g. IWBs. • Coping with differentiation- ability, pace & learning styles. • Embedding IT and ‘dual skill’ approach to learning. • Reduce dependency. • Diversity of prior knowledge of key/ functional skills • Meets expectations and what is familiar in the ‘real world’

  15. Virtual Learning Environment VLE

  16. Free ‘Open source’ http://moodle.org/

  17. Pay versions e.g. WebCT

  18. Free online options

  19. Online communication/ storage/ collaboration/ interaction etc. • Posterous blog • Google’s Blogger • Moodle’s Blog • Other’s like Wordpress.com (www.richardnelsononline.co.uk) • Wiki • Social network –facebook (Bradford PCET)/ youtube/ twitter(@geordie_online) • Storage: Dropbox/ Box.net

  20. All three have some e-communication facilities It is the interaction in web 2.0 tools that get biggest cheer from tech teachers

  21. Where it started… Discussion forums and chat

  22. What does a discussion board look like? This is a screen from a previous staff dev session where colleagues had a hands on session after the ‘theory’. As you can see, it looks who contributed, when and shows what their contribution is about.

  23. What does a discussion board look like? ‘Threads’

  24. Have a go…. In Moodle and find ‘Forum’- reply to welcome message

  25. What does a chat room look like? Chat rooms look like this. You could use it as has been done here to give one to one feedback/ support at a distance. There are all sorts of web protocols and short hands which you may want to familiarise yourself with ‘lol’ ;-) There’s chat function in Moodle

  26. Initial considerations • Resources and time • See it as a way of enhancing face to face discussions • It gives opportunities to students to contribute who may not otherwise • As with all teaching- know your outcomes • Will you use it for assessment?

  27. How could I use them? – Some ideas Discuss your ideas into the chat room • Schedule a chat as part of a collaborative task • Use discussion boards for students to share work and ideas • Follow a thread in class and use it as a prompt for discussion • ESOL/ Basic Skills- have a chat then get students to correct all or one type of error on the script • Tell students you will give a detailed response to all questions asked outside class time but only on the discussion board (thereby all students ‘hear’ your answer)

  28. E Discussions- cons • Technophobe resistance • Can be tough at first • Typing speed ( a real con or good to develop?) • Policing inappropriate use • Language quality • Tutor time? • Is it appropriate for all learners?

  29. The blog • Set it up and give me the details, copy url into moodle Blog Task 1: • Definitions • How teachers could/ do use them as a teaching/ learning resource • Problems and pitfalls

  30. The Blog Blog Task 2 Take away the article, read and summarise on your blog for next week. Next week: assessment, storage and podcasts 
