Friday Schedule
Pre-Conference Workshops June 1st
Pre-Conference Workshops will be held on Friday June 1 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Pre-conference workshops A: 6:00 p.m. to 7:20 pm
1. Stephen Henneberry: Student-centered Video Process Using iPads (3rd Floor CALL room 304)
This presentation will discuss an iPad solution to a video processing problem. Whereas as in years past video processing time was measured in days, or weeks, putting iPads in student hands reduced that to less than an hour. Students captured, processed, and uploaded videos to Moodle on their own. Come listen and find out how.
2. Scott Shinall: Experience Game Mechanics for ESL Classes (4th Floor CALL room 404)
This workshop will introduce the use of game mechanics in the ESL classroom. The first part of the workshop is an explanation of the experience mechanic and how it was implemented in a 3rd /4th year University course. This will include an explanation of the task list, the spreadsheet used for monitoring and how a social media site was used to tie the elements together. The second part of the workshop will be the development of a task list for various types of ESL classrooms. We will also look at how the tasks can be monitored and alternative implementations. A prototype spreadsheet will be made available for the participants.
Pre-conference workshops B: 7:40 p.m. to 9:00 pm
1. George MacLean: Automated Feedback Devices for Peer-evaluation and Other Classroom Applications (3rd Floor CALL room 304)
This workshop will allow participants to use automated polling devices (clickers) in a number of familiar classroom situations. The workshop will discuss efforts to implement clicker use in a modern foreign language (MFL) context. Potential advantages of such a setup will be presented and critically examined. Participants will be asked to suggest examples of classroom applications based on their own teaching contexts. Active participation and a colloquial environment are strongly encouraged.
2. Clair Taylor: Project Work with VoiceThread (4th Floor CALL room 404)
VoiceThread is a well-established, free, web-application which allows students to upload images, documents and videos, and record their comments. This creates a shareable slideshow to which other students can add comments in a number of ways. In this workshop, participants can view examples of projects and examine the advantages of having a teacher’s account. Participants will create a VoiceThread, brainstorm project ideas, and explore avenues for finding partner schools to collaborate with.
Participants who pre-registered for the workshops, please go directly to the classrooms on the 3rd and 4th floors of Konan University Cube
