Description
A full-day workshop providing the opportunity to explore a range of digital technologies that are suited to second language learning for primary and secondary Languages teachers and EAL/D teachers.
Participants will be introduced to a range of apps and platforms for communicating and creating digital media in the target language. Part of the session includes time to collaborate or work on their own to further explore what they could use in their own classroom and present their ideas to the group.
Participants will be provided with an iPad loaded with all the apps that will be used in the workshop, but it is recommended they also bring their own personal/work devices (laptop/iPad).
Here's what past participants of this workshop 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!”
"Awesome insight into apps and platforms to consider using for classroom learning and engagement."
