"In this session the materials provided will help you to identify possible motivation of why technology should be integrated into classroom instruction especially in this case for foreign language teaching"
Video 1: The history of technology in education
- Pay attention to the time/year and the technology used? What can you say about it?
Video 2: A vision of students today
"a short video summarizing some of the most important characteristics of students today - how they learn, what they need to learn, their goals, hopes, dreams, what their lives will be like, and what kinds of changes they will experience in their lifetime. Created by Michael Wesch in collaboration with 200 students at Kansas State University" (Michael Wesch)
- How is information presented in the traditional classroom?
- How are students' participation assumed in the traditional classroom? Passive listeners? or what?
- Do they really learn what they want to learn?
- Which one do they read more, books or web pages?
- What can you say about the time they spend with technology?
- What else can you learn from the video presentation?
Video 3: Knowing technology or Knowing How to use it
'This project was created to inspire teachers to use technology in engaging ways to help students develop higher level thinking skills. Equally important, it serves to motivate district level leaders to provide teachers with the tools and training to do so' (Barbara Nesbitt)
- What is more important then, to know the technology only or how to make use of the technology? Why?
Video 4: Top ten reasons to use technology in education
In this video we learn why we need to integrate technology in our education. Consider whether those reasons are applicable to you as well! or can you add some more reasons?
Having observed all those three videos, it is time for you now to post your responses on the session 3 discussion section. Check the Discussion Section and the discussion question is there! Provide links to web pages, videos, or podcasts, that support your answers. Your response is graded.
Having learned from the videos above, we can see that nowadays the use of technology seemed to be preferred by students for their daily learning activities. They seem to be more familiar with screen than paper. Therefore, it is worth considering that learning materials are provided throught the use of technology. Materials can be provided in the form of text, audio, video, animation and combination of those mentioned.
Below are sample videos of how english are presented through the use of animation. The animation can be a tool for teacher to introduce language or it can also be a medium for students to practice using the tagert language.
below is a video created by a student to tell a story. Instead of writing a story in the form of paragraph students can also write story in the form of video animation. he/she can actully and their voicess as well. Thus, they will not only learn writing but also speaking as well.
So, in that way writing and speaking can be a more interesting activity. So why not try to use animaker your self. here is the link to animaker https://www.animaker.com/ or click here
Then Create a video animation. You can choose to create a recount video, description video, or a procedure video.
