1. (2) A critical analysis of six key technologies Blended learning and new pedagogies

2. Critical analysis 1) Interactive whiteboards 2) Virtual Learning Environments 3) Podcasts 4) Wikis 5) Interactive practice materials 6) M-learning: electronic translators

3. 1. Interactive whiteboards

4. Saving annotations to server Power Point Word Excel

5. Materials banks  Flip-charts

6. ‘Just – in-time’ / ‘Always-on’

7. Audio in one place Highlight text to play

9. Tools - screen reveal

10. Spotlight tool

11. Learner response devices Text to board Voting

12. Interactive whiteboards Upside Downside  saving flipcharts  ‘always-on’ Internet  generic software available  audio in one place  features e.g. screen reveal  learner response devices  need to calibrate  time to learn!  cost  business English software?  can encourage Teacher- centred classroom  technology not yet ‘invisible’

13. (2)Virtual Learning Environments

15. Focus on appropriacy Same time same place Same time different place Different time different place Same place different time Synchronous Asynchronous

16. Virtual Learning Environments Upside Downside  information on demand  appropriacy  pre/post course tasks  time-consuming to learn  ‘blended courses’ pleasing no-one  cost issues (Blackboard to Moodle)  robustness issues (Nicenet)  narrow-use Features: Assignments / Chatrooms / Questionnaire /Quizzes / Forum / Glossary / Handouts

17. (3) Podcasts Upside Downside  portability – mp3 player  learner control  authentic materials – ESP  DIY  ‘wrong kind of podcast’  authoring – not for every teacher

18. (4) Wikis Upside Downside  collaborative  process writing  ‘history’ to see changes  not intuitive  not everyone wishes for peer correction

19. (5) Interactive practice materials Upside Downside  analytical learners  anytime practice  instant feedback  good for ‘crisp’ areas  tracking tools  ‘skewer’ language  over-emphasise one area  stimulus-response  qualitative vs quantative

20. (5) M-learning: electronic translators Upside Downside  ubiquitous / helpful  listening to lectures  cross- check bilingual / mono-lingual  review – ‘favourites’ / games  stop students guess from context  restrict fluency  mis-used for ‘production’ - writing

21. Task  Consider in which ways your own teaching is different today from 5 years ago. ThenNow
