Another potentially useful writing-style tool

Fear to speak in the target language in non-native speakers' classroom has been a long topic of debate among the educationist, teachers and planners alike. Most children in Nepalese context either feel humiliated before they make mistakes in their utterance. Others fear to share their thoughts due to lack of proper knowledge of target language. While a large group of students, in the school where I teach, do not want to hear the negative feed backs from their teachers. There is always one or other reasons, which may not work together in every students, for excuses to students when it comes to speaking in the targeted language.

Thanks very useful.

This new app ecosystem for collaborative writing might be interesting for working with co-authors on papers. Especially the integrated chat and an in-buiild checklist can be useful for larger co-writing projects in academia, although the maker of this app do not seem to have recognized this yet.

Really good information

YEAH!

Give students the right tools and they will innovate!

Современному педагогу необходимо уметь создавать дидактические материалы. Бесспорными помощниками в этом могут стать программы для захвата изображения и записи видео экрана.

Very useful for lower level language students or those teaching them. The split into 3 levels is a bit basic, but can still sav a lot of time.

This method might make it a bit easier when looking for differentiated material  for your classes.  Remember, in Schoology you can deliver individual material to one student or set up groups within your class and deliver to a group as well.  This research technique may save a bit of time.

useful..

Thanks for sharing this Nick

Foreign language is not only a useful skill, it improves your cognition and this method involves meta-cognition

I get so excited when I see more developments on tyring to intergrate technology and education. This is because by combining learning with education, scholars get the opportunity of understanding academics through everyday technology such as their mobile phones. This article also interests me because I am interested in finding out how technology can assist teachers in making subjects such as maths and science more easier for learners.

For shorter courses connected mobile learning has advantages. For more substantial courses digital learning material needs to available offline.

CNU students had the wonderful opportunity to visit the Wyland Mobile Learning Center!  What a great experience~

Una poderosa App con la que se puede hacer video para enseñar, para los que tienen Ipad  :D

La creatividad usando las nuevas tecnologías.

Videos are growing exponentially in importance as an effective communication tool.

"The New Media Consortium and Open Universities Australia jointly released theTechnology Outlook for Australian Tertiary Education 2013-2018: An NMC Horizon Project Regional Analysis. This report applies the process developed for the NMC Horizon Project, with a focus on identifying and describing emerging technologies likely to have an impact on teaching, learning, and creative inquiry in tertiary institutions across Australia. Twelve emerging technologies are recognized across three adoption horizons over the next one to five years, as well as key trends and challenges expected to continue over the same period, giving campus leaders and practitioners a valuable guide for strategic technology planning. View the work that produced the report atwww.aus.wiki.nmc.org."

A good read. This is a collection of ten short and personal research-oriented narratives from professionals working within EAP. Areas of focus range from assessment to teacher beliefs to programme management. 

Mobile technology will totally change education in the 21st Century.
