Forum 4: What teachers use in the classroom

Hi everybody,

Welcome to our last forum. It's been a great ride and I want to thank you for your commitment and desire of sharing. This time around I'd like you to take a look at the last track of the DVD that comes with the book: It is called Documentary 2: What teachers use in the classroom. Once you have watched it, post your answer to the following two questions:

1. What activity or technique from the ones discussed in the video would you "steal"for one of your classes and why?

2. What's your personal position about the use of technology vs other "traditional" material in class?

See you soon.

Elements of a lesson plan

Hi everybody,

I had forgotten to post this pic with the elements a lesson plan might include.

Team 1: Audrey, Camila, Diego.

Welcome team 1,

Your mission should you choose to accept it is to go through the following 4 steps individually (20 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!!

Step 1:
Watch the video on the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN2I1pWXjXI
Think of what language skills a teacher could promote using blogs.

Step 2:
Check the following link. What skills could students practice with it? http://edu.glogster.com/

Step 3:
Go to: http://translation.babylon.com/
How could an English teacher use a site like this one?

Step 4:
Check the following two links. How could students benefit from using these two websites?

Team 2: Maira, Greg, Mar,

Welcome team 2,

Step 1
Go to the following link and listen for a while:http://splendidspeaking.podomatic.com/player/web/2006-10-26T05_07_12-07_00
This is an example of podcasting. How do you think a teacher can use this tool with his/her students?

Step 2
Check the following online dictionary: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/
Take a look at the different dictionaries they have in there. How could a teacher maximize the use of a tool like this with his/her students?

Step 3
Check the following site: 

https://voicethread.com/

What kind of activities could teachers ask students to do here?

Step 4
Check the following two sites:
https://storybird.com/

https://prezi.com/

How appealing do you think students will find them?
