Technology Integration 2 Foster Collaboration & Learning Autonomy By Charo Uceda

Learning Community ESL Teachers, (adult education) Work in several locations throughout USA, Peru and Ecuador Do not have contact with each other Have a minimum of 5 years experience teaching ESL or They work for Public School System and/or are ESL Certified Ages range between late 20’s to mid 50’s Low to medium use of technology in their personal lives

Challenges  To create and support a culture of learning & collaboration  To Bring Teachers together to share ideas, expertise, challenges and successes in their classrooms.  To experience first hand the benefits of using technologies in promoting autonomous learning.

Online Network Infrastructure..Why? – Equitable access to human support, information resources, training – Diverse expertise, sharing ideas, participation – Modes of expression and collaboration – Flow of information, norms, and values – Alignment, cooperation, and cohesion – Efficiency, capacity, productivity, and innovation; even improvisation

Technology: TAPPED IN Affordances Synchronous & Asynchronous Chats Threaded Discussions Participate in Meetings posted in the Calenda r Virtual Offices Create a Virtual Office Ability to Receive Visitors Visit Other Offices Whiteboard & File Sharing Post Messages Share Files and Documents Link to Websites Use links to direct visitors to the net Customization of Site & Help Support Desk Change the look of office Add features to your office Receptionist at Virtual Lobby Online Monthly Calendar of Events Participation in Chats and Meetings with topics Related to Technology in the Classroom

Tapped In (continued) Existing Groups of Teachers Several Existing Groups that have many meetings or chats scheduled and open for any member These Groups usually have a “facilitator” for their meetings or chats. Groups Directly Related: CALL, Webheads A group of ESL Teachers dedicated to further the integration of technology inside the classroom CIBORG (Computer Integration Believers. Org) The Uceda Group, (The CIBORGS), dedicated to: Exploring ways to using technology to promote collaboration and Learning Autonomy Using the net to connect with their colleagues in order to develop professionally.

OPEN QUESTION: Will the new view of collaboration and team work serve to further learning autonomy? Or it will present an opportunity for weaker / less driven students to depend on the harder working ones? Is Technology and the integration of it as good as it seems? HIKE or HYPE? (Technology serves to hike academic standards or just a hype?)
