Welcome Team 4,
Your mission should you choose to accept it is to go through the following 4 steps individually (30 minutes), then with your partner discuss the use of the different tools in EFL teaching (10 minutes) and finally present your ideas to the rest of the groups (10 minutes). As always, should you or any of your team be lost surfing the internet or caught visiting other webpages, the teacher will disavow any knowledge of your actions. Good luck!!

Module 3 - group 4 - Evaluating Technology
ReplyDeleteThe participants will take as a starting point the lesson plan previously presented and will design an activity with either one of the technology tools presented, that is, Englishcentral.com, Penzu.com, Toondoo.com or Wordle. The module leader will assign which specific tool to be used.
They could write a short description on how to incorporate the chosen technological tool into the planning and actual application for the lesson(They will all use penzu.com to record the descfription). They teachers need to be strongly recommended to explore and experiment with the tools before actually implementing and using them in the real classroom because students will need clear instructions as how to use each of the useful tools or the one or ones the teacher select to apply into the classroom.
Great ideas. We definitely encourage the use of one of the resources so teachers can actually measure how feasible those resources are to the context of their classes.
