Technologies for Project Work in the English Classroom

This course is designed particularly for secondary school teachers, though many of the activities could be adapted for primary school students, as well as for adults.

The course (entirely in English) has a particular emphasis on how we can use technology for communicative purposes and project work and looks at such things as blogs and blogging, interactive whiteboards, online games, podcasting and webquests.

The objective of the course is essentially to provide teachers with the confidence and technological competence to put the practical ideas provided into direct use in their classrooms.

Attendees should have some experience of using computers (for example how to create a Word document, send an email, find something on the Internet...) but no prior experience of using classroom technology is necessary. Teachers who do have some experience with technology will nevertheless still find the course of practical use.
