TRANSCRIPT
Technology, Teaching and Me.David Riley | Triptico
Technology allows us to be innovative: to experiment with imaginative ways of teaching our students and to allow us to take risks.
So…
What do we need?
1. A Pen
2. A ‘Bingo’ Card
3. A Prize…
Motivate
Fantasy Football
Scoreboards
Competition
Create
Teacher / Students and Creators
Most valuable resource for a teacher: Time.
Word Magnets v. Laminating and Cutting!
Engage
The ‘fun’ element.
Express
Music, video, photography…
Class blog, radio station, website,
animations…
And all, pretty much, for free.
Challenge
Example: ‘Check’ button.
An aid not good teaching, not a replacement
for.
Open-ended activities and experimentation.
Support
Opportunities to search and ‘deepen’
understanding.
Example: word recognition app for language
learners.
Adapt
Amend for individual learners.
Amend as things change / as knowledge
increases –
at no cost!
Collaborate
Students can work together to create
learning resources.
Evernote.
Class ‘Pinterest’ boards.
Communicate
Increase global awareness.
Skype with peers / teachers / experts / native
speakers.
A Skype revision class?
Socialise
Twitter – a supportive community for
teachers.
Niche Twitter accounts – ‘Of Mice and Men’
Access
Unlimited, unrestricted access to learning.
Limitless resources.
Learn anywhere.
Interact
Active, as opposed to passive, learning.
Hands-On!
My unresponsive map of Dublin!
