      <title>UWS College Blended Learning Project: June-September 2014 by John O&#39; Connor</title>
      <link>https://padlet.com/j_oconnor/BLProject</link>
      <description>The aim of this project was to increase the use of blended learning technology in UWS College Language Programs, Westmead. The emphasis of this project was to assist teachers to find suitable technologies to blend into their English Language lessons, to assist teachers with classroom  management strategies, to assist teachers in setting up blended learning activities and to improve the levels of student engagement.
This Padlet page has examples of the different classes that took the opportunity to try new technology in the class and examples of student activities using technology. 
A brief outline of the activities is students used Padlet ( a collaborative tool) where student posted video examples of their work, iMovies ( a video editing suite) to make short documentaries , used Voxer( a voice recording app) to develop speaking, listening and pronunciation skills, Tellagami (an animation suite) to develop speaking skills and the Recount genre; AnswerGarden (a web based brainstorming tool) for in class brainstorming activities and Kahoot (a classroom response system) to develop teacher student interactions using a gamification model.</description>
