Places and spaces of learning

Tools of teaching

The Vigettes

These illustrate the ways in which teachers can attempt to create more collaborative, interactive, media-rich and personalised learning experiences.

Vignette 3 – Video Linked Teaching

"John and Tamati, two professors from the same university decide to co-teach their undergraduate course together, by implementing "state-of-the-art" video-linked teaching facilities on both campuses."

They teach their classes synchronously using approaches that focus on "real-time" discussion, interaction, and collaboration between campuses.

Vignette 2 – Formula One Racing

"A secondary maths teacher engages her students in an authentic maths scenario to foster engagement, collaboration and a deeper understanding of the maths concepts being taught."

The students work in a project constructing a (virtual) formula one rancing car. They use apps of race cars. They work with other gropu of students of another country through a online meeting.

Vignette 1 – E-portfolios for Learning in Early Childhood Education

"An early childhood education teacher uses online portfolios as a way for children to share their learning with parents, family members."

The children capture learning moments with photos, videos and words, using different devices.

Purposes

Answer the questions:

How can teachers and learners use digital tools to enhance the learning process?

The use of Digital tools

Digital learners

There are four Past tenses:

• Past Simple
• Past Continuous
• Past Perfect Simple
• Past Perfect Continuous

Adopting uncritical slogans like the digital native

Leads

poor teaching based on unrealistic and erroneous expectations of the future of the digital age.

Digital citizenship

Past Perfect Continuous is used:

• for an action that started in the past and continued up to another point in the past
• to show cause and effect

Some adverbs used with Past Perfect Continuous:

• since (e.g. since yesterday)
• for (e.g. for 10 years, for 6 months)

Teachers must understand and enact the principles of digital citizenship

to be able to educate students in the development of ethical and positive behaviors in cyberspace.

A digital citizen is someone who:

Promotes the values of digital citizenship.

Respect the concepts of privacy and freedom of expression in digital contexts.

Demonstrates ethical digital behavior.

Interacts with others through digital technologies in positive and meaningful ways.

Employs critical thinking skills when interacting with digital content.

Participate in a variety of activities.

Digital literacy

Past Perfect Simple is used for:

• an action that began in the past and is still going on at the moment of speaking
• an action that continued before and after another action
• a change of mind
• an action happening repeatedly in the past

The Past Perfect tense is not normally used alone. It is used to denote the earlier of two past actions. We use Past Simple for the latter action.

Some adverbs used with Past Perfect Simple:

• already, before, ever, never
• once, twice, yet
• just, up to then
• for, since

Students and teachers lack the digital literacy skills necessary

to fully exploit the potential of new technologies.

It must be understood in a sociocultural context and not as a decontextualized cognitive capacity.

It is essential to be an active and contributing citizen in today's society.

Structure:

Had + Subject + Past Participle?

e.g. Had they met Sarah before the party?

The current generation of tech-savvy learners

Past Continuous is used for:

• an action that happened in the past but is important at the time of reporting

Some adverbs used with Past Continuous:

• always, only, never, ever, still, just

must learn to use the technologies they are used to

As a result

Educational institutions will prosper.

Young people today live immersed in a world of social networks, text messages, blogs, wikis, online games, music and videos.
