The Connected ClassroomFrustrated in what I could get students to do

for homeworkFrustrated with the amount of speaking I

could get my students to doResult of various experiments going back

over nearly 10 yearsBasic finding is that we need to connect the

classroom part of the lesson with the homework part

in a series of experiments at the University of Warwick.


First experimentGroup of 25 Japanese students-not my classIELTS-5.5 –level not importantPart OneStarted lesson by drawing a time line on the board and

writing in some important dates in my lifeBegan to talk about the datesEncouraged students to ask questions

_________________________________________________1979 1983 1986 1988 1993 1999 2002 2009 2011


Part TwoAsk students to draw their own lineEncouraged them to think of different things

to addPut the students in pairs.Students talked about their timelines (a to

b/b to a)Moved around listeningTook notes and provided feedbackPart ThreeIntroduced MailvuTold students to make recordings at home

and send them to me


ResultsSeveral students made recordings of 10

minutesAll students did the exerciseNot one student thought the activity was odd-

speaking at home and sending recordings to me

Very positive feedback from studentsLittle transfer-only one student used the

technology for something elseCould be useful for e-portfoliosPlayed the best examples in the next class


The problemsFeedbackListened, took notes and gave notes to

students in next lessonListened to each recording twiceEnormous amount of data and language to

deal withe-Portfolios-students choose what to put in.

Could make several recordings over a term then choose one to get feedback on

Peer feedback could also be a solution


The Connected ClassroomMost successful exercise yetHad done several previouslyBegan to realise how important the link

between the lesson and the homework was really important

Technology breaks down the barrier between the class and the homework/coursework

But more than that-really the lesson plan was one whole-the class part and the homework part were totally linked. It was really just one lesson plan.

E-Portfolios (eyejot, brainshark, jing) Apps for iPhone iPad etc


myBrainSharkMy favourite discovery of 2011Free siteAllows you to load up Powerpoint, Word, PDF,

Picture and even video and then add voicemyBrainShark packs the sound and files and

then produces a link which you can share/embed

Used in business, teaching for distance courses, training, OER,teacher/students


myBrainShark-can do moreMix video, pictures, PPT etcEmbed the presentations as well as send as e-

mailEdit, add or change audio at click of buttonChange order of videos
