Last Saturday 10th July, a bunch of motivated and committed language teachers met at Nottingham High School to share practice on the use of new technologies in the classroom.
The Nottingham MFL Show and Tell was organised by my colleague Kerry Turner and me and was of comprised a morning session packed full of presentations by teaching practitioners who gave away their time and effort to share their experiences with those attending as well as an afternoon session with educational discussions which covered topics such as using VLEs and Language Labs.
My presentation, below, was titled Innovative Creative Technologies – Looking back at a year’s use of ICT and focused on the top ten web applications that have successfully been employed in my classroom to enhance, engage and motivate language learners. A full list of presenters, presentations and resources can be found in Box of Tricks and in the event’s wiki.
We think too much about effective methods of teaching and not enough about effective methods of learning
