10:00-12:00 - "Teaching Stop Motion Animation in the Classroom" by Jessie Curell of Hands On Media
Learn how to engage your students using an incredibly creative, imaginative and expressive form of media production. This two-hour workshop focuses on easy-to-use Stop-Motion techniques for the classroom, and can be used to bring any topic or theme alive. Educators will leave with practical, hands-on experience, including animation-station set-up, sound design and story-boarding techniques to use with their students.
12:05-12:50 - "Word Games in the Digital Age" by Gerard Pierre Levesque
Word games are great support activities and can be much more. Games are used to practice grammar, introduce knowledge, support a textbook, and can be adapted to the Digital Age. Games avoid boredom, practice vocabulary, foster group work and can become the basis for digitally written homework and develop digital skills students will need in their professional work.
1:35-2:00 - "Different Degrees of Subtitling: Learner Impressions and Effects on Incidental Acquisition" by David Lees
The current body of research concerning subtitling suggests that while traditional interlanguage (L1-L2) subtitles may help on-the-spot understanding of a given utterance, intralanguage (L2-L2) subtitles help learners’ L2 recognition, noticing and acquisition of vocabulary. This research attempts an experimental foray into the different degrees of subtitle intervention, and presents and discusses the findings with an eye on future investigation.
2:05-2:50 - "Apps for Sentence Production Practice" by Oliver Rose
While communicative fluency is the goal we ultimately want our students to reach, they often lack the prerequisite ability to form sentences. The PhraseBot app (www.phrasebotapp.com) and the Griddle activity from the Apps4EFL website (http://www.apps4efl.com/activities/griddle) have been designed to provide plenty of self-study sentence-formation practice for learners at their own level of ability.
3:00-5:00 - "Digital Storytelling in Your Classroom" by Jessie Curell of Hands On Media
A Digital Story is a personal narrative created by weaving digital photographs, video, voice, text and music into a digital video project. In this two-hour professional development workshop, educators are introduced to the experience of developing 2-3 minute visual narratives and basic strategies for managing the creation of digital stories in the classroom. This workshop is a great opportunity for educators to develop their technology know-how and practice their skills.
