TDC Plus 2012 - Review

I was there! And now I'll tell you everything!!!

That's me!
Folder, nametag, pen, voucher, invitation, receipt,
notebook, magazine, program... They gave us everything!
(ex) Teacher Ivo - aka my fiancé - was there too!
But he wasn't very interested... Lol! =p
Crowded, as usual...
Chris Morris - Making Blended Learning Work in the Real World
-Blended learning = face to face + technology
-Normally teachers are digital immigrants while students are digital natives
-What's in technology for me? Empowerment, not  replacement!
-Learning management: Content, timing, sequence, pace, interaction correction, praises - only the teacher has it!
-Without management (groupwork): Confusion, time wasted, students cannot analyse tasks into separate responsabilities and decide who takes each role
-Homework (by students): Poorly planned, often rushed, often unchecked, motivated by nagging parents
-Enriched learning: helps to motivate and engage students in the enviroment where they study best (technology): online tool from the coursebook
-95.1% of the students found online tools satisfactory; 77% of the students found the coursebook OK
-Students are eager to do homework and extra exercises when they get the results immediately
-75% of the students don't do online tools because teachers don't know/control/see/check it, so the online tool has to have a teacher's area
Flexible solutions: Meet the needs of your teaching situation

Jeremy Harmer - Why CLIL challenges us all – or does it?
-Students need to be able to talk about the content using no matter what words
-4 Cs of CLIL: Content, communication, cognition (thinking) and culture
-CLIL is, for example, teaching Music and English together
-You teach the content and the language at the same time
-Core CLIL activators: Reflecting on practice, cooperating for programme consolidation, talking through planned learning and progress with students
