Webquests, Blogs, Podcasts in an ELT Classroom
31 January 2010 - British Council, Terazije 8/II
12.00-16.00

The workshop will be based on the online course "ICT in the classroom" by the Consultants-e, the winner of the British Council award for innovations ELTON 2007 and it is the continuation of the BC sessions with the same title in March 2009.
In this day and age when "learning escaped from the box" and when the teachers are to educate digital natives, we can learn how teachers can make ICT work for them. It will introduce teachers to the usage of ICT tools, how to design webquests and to set up blogs. We will learn about podcasts, blog resources, virtual learning environments VLEs and how to incorporate chats and chat resources into teaching.
This will be a 3 hour long joint presentation by Natasha Jovanovich and Jacqueline Gardy.
