Nowadays we have so many different kind of tools and techniques that sometimes it's really hard to choose one in special, so then, I try to think what will be more interesting for each class. I use tablets, computers, stories websites and a lot of other nice stuffs to catch their attention 
and interest. #teacherlearningtech]]> 2016-07-23 00:57:16 UTC https://padlet.com/TeacherStephan/teachertestimonials/wish/116834741 Technology in state school context michellevieirasap https://padlet.com/TeacherStephan/teachertestimonials/wish/116845368 As we all know, using technology in public schools involves some persistance and creativity, taking into account the familiar challenges related to this context, like old or inexisting devices, no free wifi for students or even teachers. So, working with this public we learn how to adapt many things in order to use technology. And I got it through having my own device (laptop) as a router, and using different tools and plataforms, playing games as Kahoot, using Padlet (haha) with them to collabotative productions. These kinds of tools are effective means of drawing attention of the students and to develop a new way of learning, giving opportunities to promote their digital literacy. #teacherslearningtech

              I am an English teacher in a public school where it has nothing to facilitate student learning to not be the board and chalk, and if so, we cannot use anything. We, foreign language teachers, have to be very creative and engaging to our students, motivating them every day and arousing their interest to continue to pursue learning the language even outside the school. The TECHNOLOGY of ENGLISH language arrived at that time, opening new possibilities for learning programs outside the school space; it  taught me new strategies of interaction with my students and introduced me to a new world with new possibilities.

Padlet was one of the most interesting tools I ever learned. It's so exciting sharing information in this format. I am also a teacher trainer and everytime | have the chance to introduce NTICs in my courses  I present Padlet and other tools as well.
Thanks for sharing with us these possibilities!

I always try to use the tools the presented to us, and when I do, the students love them. ]]> 2016-09-20 19:50:54 UTC https://padlet.com/TeacherStephan/teachertestimonials/wish/125230154 Facing difficulties https://padlet.com/TeacherStephan/teachertestimonials/wish/130144970 Although the reality of teaching a foreign language at public schools is tough work, due to the excessive number of students in the classroom; the knowledge gap in English language; the demotivating old way of teaching..., I've learnt from our classes here that it is possible to engage students making use of the wide variety of tools and internet apps available nowadays.
Therefore, in order to put into practice  the lessons I've learned here, instead of complaining about students using their cell phones during the class, I've decided to make them use that as a tool in order to learn in a different and pleasurable way.
