When Technology Overlaps Language and Pedagogy

4 de junho de 2014

English language learners in the 21st century are in the center of a technological revolution. Prensky (2001a) referred to today’s children as “digital natives” and acknowledged the fact that today’s students are no longer the people our educational system was designed to teach. Moreover, research has indicated that today’s average young adult has spent fewer...Read More

HOW can technology become invisible?

22 de maio de 2014

by Ana Maria Menezes

In a previous post, I discussed about the importance of technology invisibility in the classroom. According to Lehman (2010), technology should be : Ubiquitous = available all the time. Necessary = used when necessary. Invisible = a natural procedure. Another author who thinks likewise is Bax (2011). The author coined the term “normalisation” to address...Read More

Will apps kill books?

30 de abril de 2014

by Luke Baxter

Books are books and books are great. Let’s not talk about the end of the book. Let’s look at new media for what they are… new media. Ever since Socrates worried that the written word would spell the demise of the art of spoken rhetoric, doom-mongers have been foretelling the demise of one medium or...Read More

An A-Z of Dysfunctional ELT (T is for…)

30 de abril de 2014

by Dennis Warren

#2: T is for…Technology Disclaimer: Some of my best friends are computers. No, really. Ask one of my few non-computer friends, and they will tell you that I spend more time and have more patience with tech than people. Most ELT teachers I know have retained the imagination, creativity and joy of discovery that so...Read More

Tech Integration: the importance of invisibility

22 de abril de 2014

by Ana Maria Menezes

Should we adopt a BYOD model where students bring their own devices to class or a 1:1 program where the school provides each student with one tablet?

15 de abril de 2014

by Carla Arena

In my last post, I focused on giving Twitter a chance. Before saying No, try a resounding YES! And if I haven´t convinced you last time, how about considering Twitter as your daily professional development hub? For most ELT conferences, there are great tweets coming from the backchannel. Educators who share the resources of...Read More

The video game is on the table!

15 de março de 2014

by Fabiano Silveira

Já ouvi muitas pessoas torcerem a cara para jogos de video game: são violentos, viciantes… Nada de bom parece vir desses brinquedos “malditos”. Entretanto, há mais benefícios do que se pode perceber e que eu, como um gamer de longa data (e estudioso dos efeitos do lúdico na aprendizagem), poderia elencar aqui. Mas como este...Read More
