ISTE Birds of a Feather Session, Discussion Questions

So, now that you know who I am and why I am here, I'd like to know more about you!

1. Who are we:

• Administrators?
• Technology Coordinators?
• Educators? ESL, Foreign Language?
• What level: elementary, middle, high, adult ed, university?
• Linguists?
• Other?

2. What current challenges do we/you face in language instruction?

3.  What changes would you like to see in the language classroom and how does instructional technology play a role in those changes? 
Does it DRIVE the change, ASSIST the change, INSPIRE the change?

4.  How do your students respond to technology assisted language instruction?

Let’s break into groups and access some TECH TOOL posts on this blog.

• Each group will review a different blog post and discuss thoughts on the usefulness and attraction of the demonstrated tech tool.
• Each group should have a reporter who will summarize your group’s ideas and share with us later.
• In addition, I encourage you to "Comment" live on this blog as well, so that your group’s commentary can be accessed again later online...once our Altitude Sickness wears off ;)
