I recently ran a day long workshop for the School of Education with \u00a0Matt Mobbs<\/a>\u00a0. It was aimed at using learning technologies to enhance their MA TESOL Distance Learning course.<\/p>\n

We thought we\u2019d practice what we preach, by using technology to enhance our teaching. So we started the day with a brainstorming session on participants’\u00a0expectations for the day using Padlet.<\/a><\/p>\n

Padlet is free to use web-based collaborative space. Students can add \u2018notes\u2019 to the page. It can be used for brainstorming sessions, for asking questions about a topic, or for evaluations of a session (notes can be anonymous). An example below. Click to see a larger version.<\/p>\n

Once we\u2019d established the expectations for the day we used another free online collaborative tool – Lino<\/a> – to think about what problems needed to be addressed, and how and why technology might help – putting pedagogy before technology.<\/p>\n

Lino is a sort of online Post-It Notes. You can add images, video, hyperlinks to a note. An example below. Click to see a larger\u00a0version.<\/p>\n

Based upon these discussions we then had our Learning Technology Showreel – a showcase of different technologies. They were grouped under technologies for:<\/p>\n
