AVOID OR EMBRACE? HOW WE CAN EMBRACE THE NATURE OF DIGITAL NATIVES.
The
way young people interact with information and technology has changed forever.
We can no longer avoid our student’s love of and dependence on technology or
their love of multitasking. So instead of becoming frustrated about this, how
can we embrace this and use if to our advantage?
The
goal of this active, hands-on workshop is to understand how digital natives
interact with each other and technology and to look at how we can transfer this
behavior to the EFL classroom.
Participants
will identify and then reflect on these new behaviors. We will then explore
practical activities and ideas that can be used directly in the classroom.
Please
note: examples of materials and activities may be taken from a variety of
Oxford University Press courses, but principles discussed will be suitable for application
to any teaching situation.
