THE DoS, THE TRAINER, THE TEACHER AND TECHNOLOGY
Wednesday, 17th January; at LSI Hampstead, London
This workshop looks at how directors, trainers and teachers can integrate technology usage into
their working lives - not only for personal and professional development, but as part of a CPD
(Continual Professional Development) package for teaching staff, enabling everyone to make the
most of ICT (Internet and Communication Technology) in the classroom. Participants will be
helped to identify their own ICT needs, as well as to outline possible ICT training options for their
own staff or trainees, where relevant.
WEBQUESTS – AN INTRODUCTION
Thursday, 18th January; at LSI Hampstead, London
WebQuests are examples of project work which use the Internet as a primary resource. This
workshop looks briefly at what WebQuests are, and then more closely at how they can be
used in the classroom. We will examine both short-term (e.g. one class) and extended
WebQuests, their structure, how to plan and design them, and how to put them into practice.
Participants will be recommended both short-term and longer-term sample WebQuests to
implement with their own classes.
BLOGGING, PODCASTING AND USING ONLINE CHAT
Friday, 19th January; at LSI Hampstead, London
Blogs, podcasts and online chat are all examples of social software – computer tools which
allow people to connect, to communicate and to collaborate online. In this practical workshop
we explore:
a) free software for each tool (what it looks like, how it works, where to get it)
b) real examples of projects which use each tool, set up by English language teachers from
around the world
c) how to use this software yourself (this workshop is hands-on)
Finally we consider how you might use these tools with your own learners.
MANAGEMENT SKILLS DEVELOPMENT
NEGOTIATIONS – GETTING TO YOU!
Thursday, 25th; at Buckingham Gate, London
It is often said that you do not get what you deserve. You get what you negotiate. In this
workshop, Terry Phillips looks at the rules of negotiation and getting the best deal every
time.
