Description
A whole day workshop providing teachers with the opportunity to explore a range of digital technologies that are suited to second language learning. Participants will have the opportunity to explore a range of apps and platforms for communicating and creating digital media in the target language. Aimed at teachers with beginner and intermediate skills using digital technologies, participants will become familiar with simple and preferably free/low cost apps that are ideal for language learning through structured tasks. There will be a focus on and active use of iPad apps, however users of other devices will still gain ideas for teaching. At the end, participants will collaborate to complete a 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 has been offered in previous years at AISWA. Here is what past participants had to say:
“Was great to have time to actually try out the apps and create something. We don’t often have time to do this!”
"Extremely useful and engaging. Found lots of apps that I can use in class. Thank you!”
