ICT-REV PROJECT 1. PRINCIPLES
1. Language professionals need adequate training to ensure successful integration of ICT tools/OERs in their work.
2. Acknowledge challenges in implementing ICT in the language classroom.
3. Pedagogical principles are as important as technological expertise.
4. ICT tools provide added value to learning objectives. (means to an end not the end itself)
5. Bottom up development of project outputs via participants’ feedback.
ICT-REV PROJECT 2. OBJECTIVES
Help language professionals to • become familiar with huge variety of
tools/OERs available• develop criteria for selection of appropriate ICT
for use in classroom• develop skills for designing learning tasks,
using ICT, which fulfil sound pedagogical objectives
• share acquired expertise with colleagues
ICT-REV WORKSHOPS
• Collaborative reflection on use of ICT in language classroom (affordances & challenges)
• Extend knowledge of different ICT tools + applications for learning
• Practical hands-on tasks pre/during/post workshop• Discussion of the pedagogical principles of
designing learning tasks using ICT • Establish/reinforce synergies among participants• Promote dissemination among their colleagues
ICT-REV INVENTORY OF ICT TOOLS AND OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
• Resources proposed by participants at DOTS, moreDOTS, ICT-REV workshops
• Approx 80 freely available tools and OERs• Content searchable via filters/keywords• Pedagogical criteria & technical requirements for
each tool• Examples of best practice• Users evaluate tools + suggest more tools/tasks http://ict-rev.ecml.at/en-us/Resources
