I am taking a new course - Learning Technologies for the Classroom. This online course introduces to the basic aspects of using learning technologies in the English language classroom in an efficient, engaging and effective way. http://courses.britishcouncil.org/pub/learningtechnologies/

 

I hope to learn how to use the learning technologies as a language resource, how to evaluate and select websites, how to make the most out of common office software, how to exploit school link projects using learning technologies and much more.

 

Course aims and objectives:

 

Comprehend how learning technologies are being used in education and why

 

Develop an awareness of the learning technologies available today

 

Develop an ability to critically evaluate what is available on the Web

 

Develop a knowledge of practical applications of the technologies

 

Develop a technical understanding of the tools and the technical skills necessary to use them in class

 

Apply this knowledge to integrate learning technologies into syllabi and lessons

 

Use learning technologies in a safe, engaging, effective, efficient and transformative manner

 

Recognise the potential of new Web tools as learning technologies.

 

 

To move from the older teaching model to the newer one, language teachers need to think about what they do and how and why they do it. Reflective practice allows instructors to consider these questions in a disciplined way.

 

Reflective practice asks:

 

Which teaching model am I using?

 

How does it apply in specific teaching situations?

 

How well is it working?

 

 

I am expected to write in my edu-blog on

• What did I learn?

• What did I get out of this?

• What did my learners get out of this?

• Did my learners find this learning enjoyable?

• What could I do next time to make this better?

 

I have never started any blogs, so it is a kind of... not my cup of tea. But this one is not private, so I'll try...

I'm sure it'll be a very interesting experience. To create a truly educational blog is a very ambitious (in the best meaning of the word) plan, I, for one, do not know how to do it. So I am quite prepared to be led and to learn from your example :-) Do you think you could tell how the course progresses and how you feel about it?
