iTILT podcast 18

Submitted by graham on Sat, 30/03/2013 - 18:59

In our latest podcast, I talk to Seth Dickens of Digitalang (http://www.digitalang.com/?s=iwb) about his experience of training teachers to use the IWB in Italy. Seth talks about the popularity of the IWB there and how he recommends language teachers who are new to the tool don't spend lots of time working out how to use the tool at first. To help with this, Seth recommends teachers use tools such as http://www.triptico.co.uk/ and http://www.classtools.net/

iTILT partner clip selection: Contributions from learners

Submitted by graham on Tue, 19/03/2013 - 17:29

 

The iTILT criteria for the design of IWB based material for the foreign language classroom includes the following suggestion:

“Flipcharts should allow space for students' contributions and ideas in order to allow adequate room for learner experimentation and discovery. For instance, by including opportunities to redirect instruction and/or content based on learner feedback, and the inclusion of open-ended questions.”

As part of the data collection process for the iTILT project, the teachers were filmed and then they chose clips of their classroom practice. They were then interviewed about the clips they chose and asked why they chose them.
