BIG THANKS TO THOSE WHO HAVE WORKED ON THIS COURSE and PREPARED IT.

# data[].attributes.body
I started the course because I should write a work to wider my qualification for the secondary grade of school where I teach.  I have chosen  the theme 'Tablets' because I wanted to research something I had no idea about.

I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN I FOUND THIS COURSE on the Internet. I just came across that while searching. I think that not many Czech teachers know the European Schoolnet Academy. Maybe some sort of promotion should be made. At least, my colleagues have never mentioned this web.

Now I have my own iPad. I have bought it with a sale from the Czech company 24U. They do projects for schools but it was already close. My school had a project for tablets at a different company that 'changed the owner' and nobody has anything. Approximately 40 schools have been affected.

I wrote to 24U a letter and they lent me an iPad for one month to try it for free. I could give it back. Now it is mine:), I bought it for a better prize. And I could take a part at Učitelský Summit conference in Prague about using iPads where I saw many inspirational ideas and teachers. For example, Petra Boháčková who I later found out is working for this course as the Czech Ambassador. She taught me Aurasma- an app for augmented reality at the conference in one of the courses.

This tablet course has provided a lot of useful information, complex issues and materials for further study. One thing is great- the communication among the school participants: teachers, Its,.. On the whole, it is on a veyr professional level. And I am only grateful to také part in it.

One thing will be the furure of tablets in our school and education generally.

Now there are 10 Samsungs for teachers, but not distributed yet. Tablets for students are not planned now. If I wanted to use them with students

a) I would have to find the money.

b) I would have to solve the problem: iOs or Android. I am for iOs, our IT for Android for money reasons. I am powerless.

c) The issue of cloud where to store students' work is not clear. Googleclassroom, Showbie, many others mentionedin the course. Which one to use?

d) one cannot start alone. There must be startegy at school. And support by parents too.

THANK YOU, European School Academy and all teacher contributors

and Jan Zeman and the company 24U.

-I think that we have done the flipped classroom on some occasions before in our school but no one uses this term for it - does not know it.

- it requires a new approach to lesson planning according to the video complicated - I personally think that it is not so difficult:)

-Difficult is ! to find the TIME in your workload for recording an instructional video, for example.

Challenge: Our SS are people with many interests and after school activities, clubs, trainings. I know that they work nights to study. It can be DEMANDING for them to study at home what is normally studied at school.

The Creative Classrooms Lab project (2013-2015) is working with 45 schools in eight European countries and policy-makers to collect evidence on the implementation, impact and up-scaling of 1:1 pedagogical approaches using tablets. The project, funded by European Commission's Lifelong Learning Programme, is coordinated by European Schoolnet, and has 10 partners.

What other ways can you think of how tablets can be used to personalise the learning experience of your students?

SS can use GLOGSTER app on their tablet to create an interactive poster. That is my experience-however, my students worked on their computer because they do not have tablets. The interactive posters nicely show how SS are individuals- the design differs, the structure, the tone of the poster text. And SS's confidence can raise too-because they can see a nice result that they have made themselves and they mastered a technology.

The PERSONALISATION was created in the choice of topic. E.g.-introduce your school and one of my SS chose school academy because he likes this and has been active for four years in it. Because he was writing about his favourite aktivity he had many good ideas and insight.

I also make personalisation, I dare to say, when my SS can choose a tool they will use for a content work.

- I observe my students

- I ask them how they study at home

- we have in student's books tips how to study and we discuss it

Sometimes I give my SS autonomy to choose what to do. But is is a personalised learning of little extent or not on a fully-planned scale. However, I am trying to make them responsible for their own learning and also I highlight that they do not study simply for grades.

I do not know all of my SS's learning styles but I am aware of their hobbies, free time activities, music oreferences and talents.

My students do not have individual learning plans, just plans of topics to cover in the content of student's books that are the same for all.

Students need tips and help how to learn if they do not get it from their parents or friends. They can observe themselves too.

Tips from the course: questionnaires, portfolios, discussions

THE GOAL: SS are DESIGNERS OF THEIR LEARNING PROCESS

They became- reflectors, presentors, explorers, evaluators

Personalised apps on the tablet.

FEEDBACK - very important! Self-reflection and self-evaluation can be used. Students can keep track of their learning progress too. Their classmates can comment too.

- blogs, glogs, padlet

Parents- supervisors of their children. OK- that is challenging to conduct.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU KNOW YOUR STUDENTS AS INDIVIDUALS.

You can create a plan with the help of individual students and their parents.

FaceTime is Apple's video calling service. It allows anyone with a recent iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, or Mac to make free calls to any other Apple user over Wi-Fi or cellular connection. On the iPhone, FaceTime is bundled into the Phone app. On the iPod touch, iPad, and Mac, FaceTime is a separate app. On all devices, FaceTime can connect to any Apple-registered iPhone phone number or email address. That makes it perfect for keeping in touch with family who lives far away, with the kids while traveling, with business partners at distant offices, or even with that special someone while shopping for the perfect gift.

With iOS 7, Apple added FaceTime Audio as a way to make voice calls over the same network.

Apple originally announced that they would release FaceTime as an open standard so that third parties to create FaceTime for Android, FaceTime for PC, etc. So far, that hasn't happened. Apple was sued by a patent troll of FaceTime and, after losing on appeal, Apple has been re-architecting FaceTime to work through relay servers. (This could be why FaceTime was never released — it would be subject to the same patent trolling on any other platform.)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
FaceTime is Apple's video and audio calling service. Think of it as a phone that uses your Wi-Fi or cellular data connection instead of traditional phone lines. You can use it from any iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac, to call anyone else using any one of those devices. That's what makes FaceTime perfect for seeing and hearing family during the holidays, when you're on the road, keeping grandparents connected to grandkids, making international calls when you have no long-distance plan, getting a second opinion on that jacket while you're out shopping, sharing a show, making a meeting, and much, much more.

Placing FaceTime video or audio calls is ridiculously easy to do. There's a built-in FaceTime app on every iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac, and FaceTime is also integrated into the Phone app on iPhone, As long as you're on Wi-Fi or cellular data, you can stay in touch with family and friends, even while traveling, connect with anyone in the world, even without a long distance plan, and not only hear but see the people you're talking to.

FaceTime starts off using your iPhone phone number and Apple ID email address as the way for other people to reach you. You can add new addresses - for example, a work or school address -and remove them at any time, though, and set any active number or address as your Caller ID. That way, no matter which Apple device you're using to make a FaceTime call, no one will ever be confused about who's calling them.

You can block a contact from trying to FaceTime you - and phone you and iMessage you - at any time. Whether it's a former significant other, friend, relative, or associate you've fallen out with, or a spammer or prank caller harshening your mellow, block them once and they're silenced forever. (Or at least until you decide to unblock them.)

FaceTime is automatically activated as part of the overall setup process you go through the first time you turn on a new iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, or Mac. If, for some reason, it isn't activated, or if you want to restrict access for your children, or even turn it off entirely, you can do that too.

Any FaceTime questions?

MODUL 3 - ASSESSMENT of COLLABORATIVE SKILLS - QUESTION 3

# data[].attributes.body
- difficult to assess collaborative skills -----carefull planning can solve this

-a competition can be set among the teams---however I must say that there are voices nowadays that competing is not the best. Me myself do not mind when it is not too often.

-time consuming

Is the focus on the group or the proces?

-use percentage corresponding to the value of a graded part

-in the report a teacher-

also included his students in setting the criteria for the assessment

-learning to agree on assessment criteria and to give feedback are important new skills for students.

-Timelaps video helped with evaluation of SS' participation.

Those who were less engaged accepted it as a proof of their lower level of engagement and as a motivation to be more engaged in the next group work.

-

One possible way to organise a self-assessment is to ask each member of a group to write a learning diary.

! do it on a regular basis and explain how to write such a diary

-Students tend to be very honest in the assessment of their own work and sometimes are even more critical than the teacher. - I have the same experience.

Tablets can also be useful to access self-asssessment questionnaires online. Such online questionaires allow for immediate evaluation.
CHALLENGE: use an app for SS' self-evaluation or google form

I am not surprised that eTwinning is mentioned here since it is a platform suitable for school-to-school collaborative learning.

Me and my volunteer group of students have been in a project From our Windowsn since March. We have done a lot of work so far and now we would like our SS to do something collaborative to have teams of Czech/Pole/Turk - to make the SS contact each other and coopertate. And we are still thinking what to do to make it work. SS when asked expressed their wish to do a collaborative task.

Since we teachers are not much experienced or even beginners in the eTwinning it is a challenge for us to plan something like that to make it work. I am very thankful that I have met in the project foreign colleagues - Ewa Kubacka and Ibrahim Colak who are responsible and fine to work with! It is vital for the project, as well as students.

# data[].attributes.body
To the video: The paper chase is most probably entertaining for the SS and enables them to be independent and active.

I just wonder how to let SS go round the town in groups?We are responsible for them during the instruction and we cannot let them go out like this without the teacher. This issue would be raised when preparing something similar.

SS are focused when: it is motivating, must create a result, the aktivity makes sense, it is challenging enough but not so difficult too. If you want all SS to be active directly, you must assign diffrent roles or tasks to individuals.

! You can never make an activity interesting for all. People differ in learning styles, interests. On the other hand, SS should be taught also to work on tasks they do not especially favour. In the real life it happens as well. Or do you only do activities that you find hilarious and I do not say by that that we should not try to make a task interesting for them, quite the contrary.

MODULE 3 - Forming Groups for Group Work- QUESTION 1

# data[].attributes.body
My experience is that collaborative work in groups is favoured by weak students who have a chance to be helped. Some students prefer working independently. But we must teach all to work in groups. Everybody knows what it is like to work and discuss with your colleagues at work. We have to teach skills for that our SS.

I find a very good idea to start with pair work and than to make a group of two pairs. I use that for discussions but not for groupwork when creating an outcome. I could try.

Normally I let my SS to choose who they want to work with but also appoint them to groups but I take into account if they get on well with each other personally. Or I make mixed groups based on SS's abilities.

Again- good planning is the key for success. I also agree that collaboration is a sklil that needs to be learnt and includes vital social skills.

SS can also assess their work. The T should have the final say in the mark.

I have used the Sock Puppets which I have chosen because they are funny. It is an app for iPads that enables you to create short films, choose the provided sock characters and record your voice. You can set the pitch of your voice for every character different.

It is very easy to use. It took several minutes to think what to do, record and put on youtube. I only wonder how to make the videos longer.

I am an English teacher and i have decided to use the Sock Puppets for vocabulary revision. It can be used as a warm-up at the beginning of the lesson. It is a pity it is not longer the time of the video, I can¨t reapeat all vocabulary I would need to.

If SS had tablets they could use Sock Puppets to create short films for their peers, make dialogues to practice certain structures.

Me and my SS are newly involved in an eTwinning project. The last activity was to introduce our school to the other two schools. Each S has created a glog in the glogster about one feature/place/activities of our school. The content will be shared with our SS, parents, the two foreign schools and eTwinning activity 'Let's play with eTwinning'. So the work will have a larger impact. It is actually the only complex info with pics on our school website to be, I have realised.
SS had to take photos, look for info about the history of school, make interviews with Ts. Their glogs are creative, some of them pretty good.
It is important to check the progress of SS if there is a deadline and SS work at home. 1 student of 13 did not deliver it. I had checked the progress but in his case it did not help. They work voluntarily and I do not want to punish him. I think that the task was difficult for him, he would need a partner to make it -work with another student.
It is a good idea to agree together with students on quality criteria beforehand. I do it in my lessons to have clear grading later.

I have heard this term 'learning scenario' for the first time. But the stages are something that we use in classes, e.g. we start with the brainstorming,... However, in English lesson the ASK stage about asking the experts is something that does not happen frequently.

-for collaboration between school related to a topic that can be researched it is good.

- Negative is: time consuming- it cannot be made often in every-day classes because of keeping up with the curriculum.

-However, if a teacher has an eTwinning club or extra classes it is great to be used in case you have tablets available. I liked the conference when they shared the collected data.

SS do not have their own tablets, neither there is a tablet lab in our school. If they have, these are of different systems, prevalent is Android beacues it is the cheapest. I have iOs so I will have to use apps that can be used for all systems. Our school has bought 10 tablets for teachers this year but not distributed them yet. I have my own iOs. I will have to ask for the Android in the future if we start using tablets. The school dos not want to buy tablets for students now, there is no money. If there is they will not buy expensive iOs but Android.

- The instructional and layout issues will have to be agreed on with the SS and other teachers and which apps.

-There should be chosen a cloud where to store things and work of SS. It should be one, not many to avoid confusion and mess.

- The activities should be planned so that the learning with tablets matches the objective.

There is a growing interest in using tablets in the English language classroom. Teachers are interested in them for a number of reasons. Firstly, is their potential for the higher student engagement that comes with using a device that is interactive, intuitive and with scope to use a multitude of tools for personalised learning. Teachers also appreciate the benefit of having some course components that give instant feedback to students thus saving marking time. Another compelling reason is the ease with which teachers can create lessons for classes that are more targeted to individual needs.
If you are considering using tablets with your students, our new white paper Tablets and Apps in Your School is a great place to start your journey. It supports and guides decision-makers with the who, what, why, where, and how of implementing tablets.
The authors, Diana Bannister, MBE and Shaun Wilden are familiar to many in the ELT world. Bannister works directly within the education sector, helping schools implement and develop learning technologies, and is working on two long-term projects focusing on the use of tablets in European schools. Wilden trains teachers in the use of new technologies, as well as writing blogs, conducting webinars, moderating the #eltchat group, and delivering talks worldwide.

Bannister and Wilden understand that, for a school leader, it's not just a question of whether the technology will benefit the students or if the teachers want it; they also need a vision for how they will be implemented - from introduction to training to maintenance and on-going cost. In the paper, Bannister and Wilden look at the questions that leaders need to ask themselves before embarking on a tablet programme, including, "Is my school ready for tablets?" and "Which tablets do we buy?". Importantly, they also address issues of e-safety and parental involvement.

As well as parents, teachers need to be on board and open to the idea of adjusting their classrooms for tablet use. Bannister and Wilden suggest steps to take to ensure teachers are comfortable with the new technology and outline the benefits of starting small.

Perhaps the key issue for teachers is the use of tablets and apps for good teaching and learning. How can they help students learn English better? In the final section of this paper, Bannister and Wilden address this issue by setting out some guidelines for best practice. Most importantly, they outline the key questions teachers need to ask about tablets to ensure their use fulfils learning outcomes, and give a rationale for how specific apps can fulfil specific aims.

One of the most convincing arguments for using tablets in the classroom is the possibility for students to then take that learning outside of the classroom - they can use the digital materials they are familiar with from class on their own devices at home.

Bannister and Wilden conclude that tablet use in education is moving into the mainstream, but that we are still in an evolutionary stage. They recommend that school leaders do their homework and carefully consider not just the technology, but the impact implementation will have overall.

I do not use Edmodo in the classrom

and I did not know what it is

How I could use it in the classroom:

to set tasks and store work

to use alerts

to communicate with SS about the tasks

to create quizes and to have them gradeed if

not long answers

to see the PROGRESS and SS's performance

the task can be locked after the deadline

PARENTS can be given the code too to get in

IT RESEMBLES GOOGLE CLASSROOM.

Anyone knows the difference or has compared these two?

What whole-school challenges do I already face or do I anticipate facing when using tablets?

Now- I or my school face:

- Do we want to use tablets in classes ? When ? Money for that ?

- I have no colleague to observe. Nobody uses tablets for teaching. Our IT is starting to reasearch this field as well as me.

- Most of our stuff do not speak English and a lot of materials and apps are in English

- some projectors in the classrooms don't make 'mirroring' of a tablet possible, they are old

- we have only one 'miracast' EVOLVEO - I must carry it with me.

- no tablets for SS - I am handing them my own private

I cannot use it as I would like to.

- only 10 tablets for all teachers - newly bought

- teachers need training how to use a tablet at all

- some Ts are technologically impaired

-Ts must be ready to change their lessons if using tablets - otherwise it makes no sense

- no list of apps for teaching since they are not used in our school now

- learning and researching things about tablets is very time consuming. We must teach as well.

We will face:

- a careful plan and strategy must be developer - who will get a tablet, when, if

- set of rules for the use of tablets in lessons

- how will the work be shared

- E safety and data privacy

- choosing a class to start with

- to make a team of people responsible for the implementation of tablets

- Wi-Fi in all classes for enough tablets

- mirroring possible in every class

- cooperation with parents

- identifying apt SS to help Ts

I am sharing my obtained knowledge from this course with my colleagues.

Or you can use it to set tasks to students and record the progress.

- I want to try how it works

- it has a potential for enhancing the effectivity  since students do

- it enables SS to be more independent and engaged in the learning

- it is creative when used properly

- it corresponds with the new technologies in SS's everyday life

- it can provide some visible results for parents to see what SS can do/make

At the bottom there is- the website of my school- Gymnázium Děčín. This school is for the most talented SS aged 11-19 and provides general education. It is expected SS will go to university.

The school has got 3 IT rooms, interactive boards or projectors in many but not all classrooms. For English we use Project or Success. They have got electronic books to be projected on the board. I use it every lesson I work with the book. Tablets are used neither by the teachers nor students in the instruction. Only individual SS bring their tablet and occassionally are allowed by the T to use them as an exercise-book or a dictionary or for googling.

How did I get interested in tablets? I have chosen this topic to research for a paper to qualify for the third grade (secondary school). I am qualified for the basic school. When I started studying it played no role what type of school you teach at. I wanted to write a paper on something practical and came up with the tablets since I knew nothing about them. Now I have even got one tablet and I am learning to work with it. 24u lent me an iPad for one month. I am going to buy it - an iPad. I can't return it:)

As the hardest thing related to tablets is- school's equipement, wifi, choice of tablets. Projecting the tablet on the screen. MONEY.

Last year my school had joined a project supported by the EU (40 other schools also joined) and we had only one seminar about google desktop and suddenly the ownership of the company was transfered to a homeless. Goodbye tablets and happy holidays to the course ''providers''.

Now the school has bought 10 tablets with Android, not iPads (which I am sorry for- I like the apps) from another project where dif.organisations are members. At first, students will use it for some activity and then they will be given to teachers. I did not want to wait  and asked one company 24 U to lend me a tablet. I have my own tablet BUT I have realized there is no way to project it on the board. I had got excited and soon found out it is not so simple. Our IT is going to buy Miracast to mirror my tablet. Online apps for mirroring can't work at school because of the divided net. We have tried them, it is not possible.

In our school no teacher uses tablets in his lessons. Our IT knows something. But not methodology. I am learning now for the second week. I have used the Czech-English dictionary app-listening to the words- with my SS and downloaded the app iTeacherBook and I have been using it for one week. One of my colleagues has a  tablet for her personal use.

My SS are in groups of 16. In every group 4, 5 students have  a tablet of various types. Only 2 just an iPad.

I am Czech, an open and curious mind. My name Šárka means 'mountain range'. Just behind me:) I am fighting my natural laziness sucessfully, more or less. I hope I will get a certificate for that too, one day. I love cross-country skiing and 356 other things. I understand everything on a different level, from 'almost nothing' to 'still needs improvement' and after some glasses of wine with my friends 'to everything'. I would love to learn Spanish to be able to teach it as well one day but it is just a dream. As a pensioner I will knit, crochet, eat a lot of cakes and sleep.

I started teaching as a student already. I have been teaching for 13 years app. I have taught in a basic school, foŕ a language agency in companies and for 7 years at a secondary school now. I have liked all of these.

My work is creative. I like my SS, they are intelligent and well-behaved. The job is stimulating, refreshing and enjoyable, not boring. However, I don't like correcting essays and tests.

I would like to greet all the active teachers and good examples for me.
