• This slide deck accompanies a talk given by Joe McVeigh at the Universidad Andres Bello in Santiago, Chile on May 27, 2009 and again in Vina del Mar, Chile on May 28, 2009.

• The presentation is structured with introductory remarks and other comments by Joe, interspersed with UNAB teachers describing their own experiences with technology.

• The focus of the talk is the use of technology in the teaching of English as a second language.

Here’s the title of the talk in Spanish:

• Much of the presentation is highly visual in nature, so take a look at the pictures and imagine how they relate to language teaching and technology.

• Almost all the photos came from flickr and are used with a Creative Commons License. Photo credits are at the end of the presentation. Thanks everyone!

• First came a story about some mice who were being attacked by a cat. The mother mouse barked like a dog scaring the cat away. She then explained to her children the importance of learning a second language.

• Then came a discussion of how books have traditionally been the primary means of learning and teaching but how some people now are suggesting that books may be passé and that the future is in technology.

• Technology has been around in many forms for a long time as can be seen in these photos. Imagine how innovative tape recorders and typewriters must once have appeared to the first users.

Technology will not replace teachers, but teachers who understand technology will replace those who do not.

— Ray Clifford

Page 33: Teaching Languages With Technology

Use technology in the service of pedagogy, not vice-versa.

—Siskin & Reynolds

Electronic whiteboards

• Thermal electronic whiteboards– print in black and white

onto thermal paper. Unlike the color electronic whiteboards these thermal boards come standard with a built in printer. These copyboards (print boards) are more convenient but lack the attention of color.

Page 63: Teaching Languages With Technology

Electronic whiteboards

• Color electronic whiteboards– also known as

copyboards and printboards, allow you to write, save, and print in color.

Page 64: Teaching Languages With Technology

Electronic whiteboards

• Interactive whiteboards– have a dry-erase

whiteboard writing surface which can capture writing electronically and which can be used with software programs. If you want to use the interactive function where you can display items from your computer, you must also have a digital projector connected to your computer.

Page 65: Teaching Languages With Technology

Electronic whiteboards

• Portable electronic whiteboards– systems integrate into any

white board or writing surface to give you many of the same features as interactive whiteboards. Mimio interactive whiteboards can turn your dry erase board into a copyboard / printboard.

Technology Competencies

• What should a teacher know in order to be a competent user of technology?

• TESOL Technology Standards

• Checklists

• What should a student be able to do?

Here’s an example of how you can use

with a Creative Commons License to get great images to create a short culture lesson. This one is about Vermont, where Joe lives. You’ll

see beautiful landscapes, leaves, people hiking, and the process of making maple syrup.
