Dear colleagues,
The Center for Language Instruction and Coordination (CLIC) at the University of Illinois will be offering an online workshop on tech tools for digital storytelling and interpersonal tasks, facilitated by Catherine Ousselin. Our virtual workshops take place online as a webinar would, but they are longer, more interactive, and in small groups, making it easier for everyone to participate or ask questions. Participants also receive a handout or packet with resources, and they can request PDH or CEUs for attending. Please find the description below, along with the registration link.
We would greatly appreciate your help spreading the word, so please feel free to share with anyone interested.
Online Workshop: "Tech Tools for Presentational and Interpersonal Tasks"
Description: Technology integration into the World Language classroom encompasses multiple levels of purpose, outcomes, and tools. Beyond the basics of assessment and review, there are tech tools which foster growth in linguistic confidence, language production, and comprehension. In this virtual workshop, we will explore tools that will inspire and support learners in presentational and interpersonal tasks, such as Screencastify, Storybird, and Seesaw. Additionally, we will discuss thoughtful objectives when choosing technology tools to support language acquisition. All of the tools demonstrated in this workshop can be used at any proficiency level and for a wide variety of themes and topics. Participants will view and interact with several projects created with the tools explained in the workshop, and they will receive unit design ideas and links to student samples.
Audience: world language teachers of grades K-16. The workshop will be in English; teachers of any and all languages welcome!
