Book: Teaching English Reflectively with Technology




To me, the beauty of digital technologies is the power to connect people and this way help them develop themselves.

In 2016/2017, I had the great pleasure to collaborate with a dear friend, Jennifer Verschoor, to write an article for a publication which invited teachers and researchers to reflect about tech integration.

TEACHING REFLECTIVELY WITH TECHNOLOGY is an IATEFL Learning Technologies SIG publication in collaboration with the TESOL CALL-IS.

Quoting the editors Phil Hubbard and Sophie Ioannou-Georgiou:

"We wanted to help bridge the gap between practitioners and researchers by leading the authors to defend their use of technology persuasively by acknowledging prior research and practice and by presenting challenges and limitations along with the positive aspects, backed up by more than just memories and intuitions."

This morning, I was thrilled to receive my hardcopy!


 

Jennifer and I described and analyzed a project which we developed together with our students from Argentina and Brazil.





There are articles about telecollaborative projects, Facebook Groups, Mobile Technology, Google Docs, Virtual Reality and much more.

PDF and Epub versions have been made available to contributors and members of the LT SIG in June 2017. Nowadays, I unfortunately don't know how the book can be ordered.

You can read the table of contents and the introductory chapter on the following link

Turn Blog posts into a BOOK

Sharing material our students produce in class with their parents is an important step when planning any project.

Yesterday, I found out via a great blog called "The Cutest blog on the block" about a great way to do this by ordering a printed version of your blog.

If you are using a class blog to record written texts, animations or drawings made by your students, wouldn't it be superb to turn the blog posts into a book which could be bought by parents?



First, you go to THIS PAGE , complete the box with your blog URL and click PRINT MY BLOG.

A 20-page softcover book - $15.95
A hardcover copy - $25.95
extra pages only 40c
