Publicado en June 28th, 2011 en Multimedia resources.

Last weekend, the Educaingles team participated at the REAL-TICE days, organised by the REAL association at the UNED. This 3-day seminar about ICT and language learning gave the opportunity to teachers from Europe to share their experiences, ideas and also to discover different ways of how to integrate new technologies and digital skills into the teaching foreign languages.

REAL-TICE contained workshops, debates and conferences in French, Spanish, English and Portuguese.

During the workshops and activities lead by professionals in education and new technologies, the following main themes were brought to participant´s attention:

Pierre-Yves Petitgirard introduced the 4 types of digital resources: text, picture, sound and video in his presentation “ICT & Language Learning: a plurilingual reality”. He also talked about the IWB as a missing link between the language laboratory and the classroom.

In “Web 2.0: a plus for teaching and learning languages”, Giedo Custers tackled a problem of “clicktivism” and “folksnomy”. You can also find it on slideshare and every application program on go2web20.

In “Media and motivation” presentation, Michael Boiron explained the importance of getting pupils´ support and interaction for the entire duration of their training. Based on media, the class doesn´t become interactive only because of the IWB but also thanks to the pedagogy and teacher´s work.
