Day 8. Technology tools in practice





Today the morning was dedicated to practising all the technology tools we had been learning during the course. The class was divided into groups and in each group  we could work with one of the technology tools by practising different activities as teacher-student. It was very useful and we ironed out most of the questions we had.

This is what I did with the technology tool called Thinglink:

 

Russell gave us an explanation about another tool for screen capture called Camtasia which can also add video, but this technology tool is a bit more complicated although much more professional in terms of business, for example.

In the afternoon we could choose between three workshops:
  • Using very short films by Alan Pulverness
  • Drama for Teaching English by David Farmer
  • Developing Critical Thinking by Tony Prince

I chose Using very short films by Alan Pulverness and I discovered new ideas using films in class.

In the evening there was a performance by Jeremy Harmer and Steve Bingman. The performance was the icing on the cake. We had a field day.
