I don’t use tablets yet in the classroom but I think that they can be used to personalise the learning
experience of your students. The teacher should support the learning process by engaging the students with motivating learning activities, suitable to their needs, competences and abilities. The teacher can provide the students a variety of resources and tools to work with which promote their autonomy in learning, and students easily become aware of their own learning skills and personal goals. They are co-responsible in the learning process and their achievements encourage them to reflect, to assess and to collaborate strictly with others.

Tablets are almost everywhere, so they provide unique features. They are playing assisstive role for great possibility for highly individualized use. For my opinion the benefits of tablets will motivate not only students but also teachers for creating contents.

Module 4.5 Flipped Classroom with tablets 

# data[].attributes.body
Flipped classroom concept has not fully implemented in our school, but there are some institutions which more or less try to do it. As we have joined to wotk on eTwinning projects it is really important to change the way looking at things . I have prepared the video about the historical places which are around XII century. It was about if there was any differences or similarities between these buildings. The task was about to make research about 3 different buildings in the centre of the City ( Baku - Inner city ) .It helped them inmany ways. ( I should say that the students themselves provided tablets - we don't have tablets at school ) I think flipped classroom concept is the best way of creating something new.

Start the New School Year With More Fun, Engaging Techniques and Resources Than You'll Probably be Able to use all Year!

Are you looking for ways to integration technology in your lesson plans and courses that provide for an engaging experience for you and your students? Fans of instructional technology know that it can be fun and inviting, and engaged students are far more likely to be learning.

I believe that if you can get students involved and motivated effectively enough, you can improve their learning habits over the long term.

With that in mind, here are 10 highly engaging uses of technology in the classroom, along with dozens of tools and resources for implementation. Most of these involve free web based tools, so that's an added bonus!

Interactive Collaboration

The 2014 Gates Foundation report, Teachers Know Best: What Educators Want from Digital Instructional Tools, indicates that teachers want tools "supporting student collaboration and providing interactive experiences". These types of tools are fun and engaging, and they support 21 st century skills like collaboration, communication, and creativity.

Learning this compelled me to write the article, " 20 Fun Free Tools for Interactive Classroom Collaboration", which has been in the top 10 most popular posts on the site since I published it in May. We followed that in July with " 5 More Cool Tools to Take Classroom Collaboration to a New Level ", another popular post. So there you have over two dozen fun free interactive collaboration tools to consider using in your classes this year!

Gathering Feedback

The potential to gather structured feedback in moments is a powerful aid to instruction, and thanks to proliferation of Internet enabled devices, it's never been easier. Hi-tech or lo-tech, it's easy to gather student input and feedback in today's classrooms. Here's a number of tools and techniques for doing so:

Surveys/Polls (using any Internet enabled device): When you use web based survey and polling tools, users can often participate from any web-enabled device. SurveyMonkey is a popular web based survey tool that provides for a small survey at no cost. Doodle, Polldaddy, and SurveyAnyplace, are a few other alternatives.

Clickers: Also known as Student Response Systems, these devices make it really easy to gather student feedback. Click here to read a story about a contest winner we had on the site back in 2010 who used Clickers to help improve FCAT scores.

Plickers: This is a relatively lo-tech, and highly affordable alternative to clickers that does not require students to have an electronic devices! Learn more here.

More advanced, education-specific tools: Apps like Socrative are great examples of the maturing tool set available to educators.

Twitter! Twitter is a unique, fun way to gather feedback when students have a way to tweet. Create a unique hashtag and have students use it in their tweets, to create a custom stream of student tweets. In this article, a College of Westchester teacher explains how Twitter helped engage her students in the course material.

Embedding Questions in Videos

Today's students consume video like drinking water. As today's teachers leverage this fact by using video for instructional purposes more than ever, free tools that enable educators to embed questions are powerful aid. When students are asked to consume video content outside of class, how can you help to ensure that they are really engaging with the content? Here's an excellent approach.

EduCanon: I recently created this '3 Minute Teaching with Technology' Tutorial Video showing how easy it is to use EduCanon to do this.

EdPuzzle (edpuzzle.com): I haven't tried this one yet, but I heard about it at FlipCon14, and people seem to really like it!

Ed.ted.com: This is a different approach - one that allows for the building of a quiz and other interactive content after the video is viewed.

Active Learning

This is a personal favorite of mine. Tech tools can be great for active learning in the classroom. Whether your preference is for Inquiry Based Learning, Constructivist Learning, Experiential Learning, or one of the various other labels for or sub-categories of Active Learning, there are applications and resources available to enable this teaching construct in your classroom. Here's a few web based resources for further exploration:

Social Learning

Bandura's Social Learning Theory posits that "people learn from one another, via observation, imitation, and modeling". Of course, the type of socialization that occurs via "social" computer tools is certainly different than face-to-face social interaction, but it still offers opportunities for social learning. Moreover, when it comes to blended and online learning, making an effort to bring social elements into the picture can truly help to fill one of the gaps that digital learning can have when contrasted with face-to-face learning.

Some resources to learn more:

Using Technology to Help to Ensure Engagement With Digital Content

As digital learning content becomes increasingly commonplace, one challenge we teachers are faced with is how to make sure that students are engaging with content they are consuming. Unlike the traditional textbook, digital content generally lends itself to much easier distraction.

One technique to help ensure that this type of content holds students' attention is to make it interactive, requiring responses and actions during consumption. We've already looked at embedding questions in videos as one example. Other techniques can include clicking on simple response requests, embedding discussion forums in content, or using techniques like K-W-L or WSQ. Whatever approach you take, it's worth considering some sort of measure to help ensure engagement.

Student Created Presentations

I've written a few times about the inspiring nature of student created content. Surely, one of the most rewarding moments a teacher can have is when they see the pride a student's face when they share something they have created.

In the article, Student Created Content is an Exciting and Inspiring Learning Tool that Teaches Many Skills, we look at student uses of iBooks and iMovie. As another example, I shared presentations created by students in my Emerging Information Technologies course using a variety of presentation tools in this article.

Project Based Learning

One very well-known form of Active Learning is Project Based Learning, and technology lends itself to PBL in so many ways. Heck, there's no need for me to write much more on this when so many others have!

Digital Makerspaces

The Makerspace Movement is of my favorite new 'trends' (although I really kind of hate that word) in education. While I fully embrace the many non-digital Maker tools that are available and should be a part of any robust school-base Maker Space, digital tools can also be used to create. Here's a few resources focused on the intersection of 'Digital' and 'Maker' in the education space:

Flip Your Class to Free up Class Time for More Engaged Learning

One of the primary challenges in getting engaged in the classroom can be making the time for it. If a course has a lot of learning content that has to be delivered, many teachers will use class time to that end. Flipped teaching and learning is a technique that addresses the question, "What is the Best use of Valuable Face-to-Face Class Time?" by making more class time available to be used as you see fit. Getting active and engaged is a great way to use that time!

Here are some select resources for learning more about flipped teaching and learning:

Well, there you have it ... a plethora of engaging using of technology for your classroom. Have fun!

We just came across this beautiful visual on the impact of technology on classroom learning and teaching and wanted to pass along some important stats that stood out to us. Technology is radically transforming the education landscape and the stats below speak volumes to this transformation:

In a 2009 report released by the National Centre for Education Statistics with the Department of Education:74% of Pre-K to 12th grade teachers said that technology has helped them reinforce and expand content and has also motivated students to learn. 73% of these teachers also reported that technology enables them to respond to a variety of learning styles and allows them to demonstrate things that could not demonstrated otherwise.

Impact of technology on student writing:
A larger majority of teachers attest to the positive influence of web technologies on students writing. For instance, 96% view that technology helped students share their work with a wider and more varied audience. Another 79% agree that digital technologies encourage wider collaboration among students and boost student creativity and personal expression.

Impact of technology on homework
Technology has also transformed the way students do their homework. For instance, 31% of students report using a tablet to do their homework, another category that amounts to 65% say they use laptops for homework while 39% of 11 to 14 years olds use smartphones for homework.

Read on to learn more about how technology impacts education in areas such as flipped classroom, mobile learning and many more. Enjoy

School to school cooperation has been used in our school since 2013 as We are freshman in eTwinning projects. But we have worked hard during these years and had alot many cooperative and collaborative meeting projects. Aand most of them have won Quality Label.

Students are very keen on talking with peers and ask as many questions as they can , because such cooperation motivates them .

During the sessions we have used netbooks and it helped really. But upcoming year we are going to have tablet in most classes and I think it will increase students interest to school to school projects more effectively.

My students should obey the deadline for the work. There is always something happening the time so beforehand I ask if the time is up to them. If Yes, we begin working,actually they set to the work. Good results I get when the toppic and the setting of the work is interesting for my students, So far the theme should also be in their scope of their interest.

One more thing : While grouping students always complain about the working of other members and not setting the work in time.

I would like my peers to have their opinions about best grouping criterias.

Webinar was useful for me.I liked all presenatations and I think they are very helpful for freshmen to begin the usage of tablets. Hannes presenatation was astonishing,..P.S If we had someone like Hannes I think we wouldn't have any issues in implementation of tablets .

But what I wanted to know and I mainly asked not yet answered was the question " how tablets might help students to assimilate their writing skills?

It is always good to calculate before what is more important for learners. What they would get from all these. My students are great lovers of blogs. BLOGGERS are also people who always prefer sharing ideas, thoughts,feelings in different way.

Among a great range of apps it is difficult to choose. But actually I let my students to choose which is up to them. Great variety of materials I collect.

Video making is always interesting task for my students. They use MAGISTO for production. Amazing app for collection of both videos and images. "PHOTOPEACH" is also easy to use for making collage images . Among the most favourite tools for sharing ideas my students always choose "LINOIT". It serves as the board for producing ideas commonly. "POSTERONWALL" serves as collaborative app for sharing the final product. One of the most used app is "KINDLE" which provides with millions of books to download.Reading includes into the main content lines of language learning. it really hepls much.

Actually content creation is much more interesting for students as they "go"outside the classroom for research. I have worked with my students on the project "Health Issues among teenagers in european countries" and students have created story on PIXTON. They have planned how create their own story about health problems. Really was interesting and as it was their production motivating for learning . Authentic learning emphasizes thinking, planning and creation which are 21st century learners characterstic features.

I have been working as a teacher for 15 years and I think I have to learn to improve my teaching.Students are always looking for creations and maybe somehow don't like lessons based on traditional apprroaches. Games , outdoor activities,PBL activities are much more interesting for them. Actually language learning grows better when native language speakers are availbale for communication. It is really developing students awareness of language learning.

Education system is in the process of implementation of using tablets in teaching process , somehow it faces with great range of challenges in organization of this process and professional development of staff is also in pointview of it. Teachers feel less confident than students and it leads their demotivation of teaching through tablets.Maybe half of teachers are against of implemeatation of tablets but I should accept that the curriculum spheres are covered with great range of research tasks and collaboration is essential.

Natavan Badalova - Azerbaijan : Q 2 What do I need to know?     My challenges 

# data[].attributes.body
As I mentioned in my previous post we have been using tablets only in 2 classes for experience. And class organisation process differs from everyday lessons,besides we have set classroom and school rules which are strictly followed and the parents have been chosen as the responsible side of this agreement. Traditionally students aare not allowed to have access to other sites except educational ones as it is filtered by ICT techniques of our school. But we are not sure of it as the students take their tablets home.It is somehow doubtful for us.

But actually I'll categorize my challenges as follows:

a - Funding problem - I don't think every family can afford having tablets.

b - Internet connectivity

c - It is difficult to combine and share the material across the entire school or education authority.

d - Cyber safety - which is the essential point for students "going out" into "the world"

Hi, I am Natavan from Azerbaijan, Baku. I am English language teacher in Heydar Aliyev Lyceum.

I teach students between 6- 13 years. It is my first experience, and I think it is great opportunity for me to learn from this event. I am always in search of innovations and for me creative use of tablets is great chance for learning language effectively and thoroughly as it offers a great variety of resources for langauge learning.
