Le projet européen intitulé iTILT (interactive Technologies in Language Teaching – Technologies interactive pour l’enseignement des langues). Il s’agit d’un projet européen qui dure sur deux ans, de 2011 à 2013 et qui porte sur l’apprentissage tout au long de la vie (en primaire, secondaire, à l’université ou dans les formations d’adultes) et dans 7 pays européens.
Entretien de décembre 2011 qui fait partie d'un reportage SMART sur l'utilisation de tableaux interactifs à l'Université de Nice. J'ai pu parler de notre projet européen iTILT http://itilt.eu dont le site sera ouvert lundi 14 janvier.

The issue of how we use social media for our own development as teachers and as digitally skilled individuals, is one that I believe is of vital importance though, not just because it can enable us to keep developing as teachers through the content, ideas, resources and above all people it gives us access to, but also because the way use digital media for our own development should guide and influence the way we use it with our students and build their digital literacies and communication skills.

Shona Whyte: Hugh Dellar gives ELT Heinle co-author Andrew Walkley space to expand on his IATEFL 2012 presentation on technology in language teaching. The overal thrust is to question blind assumptions about teaching and technology:
Impoverished acquisitional/pedagogical models - "the vast bulk of new technologies for ELT are based on OLD – and I would argue discredited – theories of language. Many of the sites recommended by gatekeepers such as Russell Stannard and Nik Peachey focus very much on grammar rules and lists of single words and their meanings." Walkley rejects this restricted view of language learning/teaching as "grammar rules + words + skills."
Overestimation of technology's power to motivate - "We’re frequently told we’re teaching screenagers, but our students are only screenagers when using facebook to sort out a meet-up with friends or to post comments on recently uploaded photos." Our younger learners are not so tech-savvy or pro-tech as older teachers may fear.
Unhealthy obsession with technology among some teachers - "Don’t let workaholics be our role models." Technology is time-consuming for teachers, but pro-tech teachers don't mind giving up a great deal of spare time for it.
Technological versus pedagogical interactivity - "Far too often, in classes I observe, IWBs are simply used as giant held-up coursebooks, as another form of crowd control."

Some of you may be working in a technology-rich environment where you have interactive whiteboards and students have access to the internet in the classroom, or a computer lab that you can take students to. Some of you may only have a single computer in your classroom or, perhaps, like the majority of schools around the world, you may have no computer access in school at all. Whichever is the case, this series will still have something to offer you and will enable you to offer something more to your students, either in class or through the development of more motivating homework tasks that students can access outside of school.

This resources is extremely valuable for educators when teaching digital technologies. It allows students to learn how to design and implement visual programs, use a range of digital systems and use safe online communications (ACARA, 2013). It provides many explanations surrounding many available digital technologies for the classroom which is titled 'Tech Tools for Teachers' and would allow educators to effectively implement digital technologies into their planning.
