Workshop

Have you ever wondered if new technology is leaving you behind in the classroom? Well, if you are still using chalk, overhead projects, VHS tapes, and boom boxes, then you are in good company. So does Randall and thousands of teachers around the world. In fact, some of the best teaching ideas make the most of the simpliest tools. As teachers master these basic devices, new gadgets and gizmos can be added in situations where technology actually fills a specific classroom need.
In this session, Randall Davis will demonstrate how to enliven language lessons beyond the textbook by using a variety of traditional technologies including video and other common classroom resources. Then, he will show how other technologies (digital voice recorders, cell phones, digital cameras) and the Internet (Youtube, Facebook, and visual search engines) can be used help students improve their language skills in simple, yet pedagogically-sound ways.
