Using Technology in the Spanish and French Classroom
Link to this presentation:
Why do I use technology in class?
To increase student engagement
To empower the digital native student with using what they know (technology)
To encourage students to use technology as a tool for learning
To give choices to students through a variety of apps can appeal to different learning styles
Allows for differentiated learning so that students of all levels can be successful
Ultimately it is the learner who learns, and the new applications
certainly place more power in their hands, albeit that they are still in need of support with how to use these in educational contexts.
(Rethinking Learning for a Digital Age, Sharpe et al 2010)
LANGUAGE TEACHERS ON TWITTER TALK ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH TECHNOLOGY!
@rolat We integrate technology to encourage recording conversations for oral communication & explaining Students thinking orally on all subjects
@msewen uses them for student success and ease of use. He recently used iPad dictation for a student who cannot write (a great example of empowering the student)
@whitmore_c uses them to record themselves before doing a presentation in FSL, they work on their pronunciation before having to present. They love it.
@beverleybunker Have done blogging with my grade 7 late frimm kids…it’s been a great experience!

« To engage a student, it is important to remember not to « overload » becaue not all students like using technology to learn. » Translated by a Tweet sent to me Sunday, Dec. 2, 2012

Opportunity to assess the language that they acquired and their cultural knowledge at once.
More importantly, I was able to assess their oral production as it gave me the chance to listen and listen again to how they were able to pronounce the words that they had learned all semester.
