Description
This whole day workshop will provide language teachers with the opportunity to explore a range of apps for communicating and creating digital media in the target language. Aimed at teachers with beginner and intermediate skills in ICT, participants will become familiar with simple and preferably free/low cost apps that are ideal for language learning through simple and structured tasks. At the end, participants will collaborate to complete a culminating task/project that involves using all the content produced during the day. Participants will be provided with an iPad loaded with all the apps that will be used in the workshop, for use during the day. However, they should also bring their own personal/work iPad or alternative technology, as well as, a set of head phones to the workshop.
This workshop is suitable for primary and lower-secondary teachers, particularly those who have access to a class set of iPads and are stuck on ways to manage and use digital content once it has been produced.
A repeat of this workshop will be held on Monday 28 August, 2017. Click here to register.
