Baden - 25 August 2012 - Using your iPad as a language teacher

Tap your potential

Using your iPad as a language teacher inside and outside the classroom

Description

Apple’s iPad has already had a big impact on teaching and learning in schools and universities, especially in the USA, as well as in many other professional environments (ranging from hospitals to construction sites to flight decks). This workshop will explore some of the ways that you can use your iPad as a language teacher, both in and out of the classroom. We’ll look at a range of apps (some free, some very inexpensive and one or two a little more pricey), some of the “technical” aspects, such as connecting to a projector, and discuss the extent to which an iPad provides the functionality of an iPhone/iPod Touch on the one hand, and a laptop computer on the other. If you have an iPad, please bring it along and share the ways you use it and your experience of particular apps. If you have a different tablet (eg, one hosting Android or Windows apps), you are very welcome – the focus will be on using iPads and apps installed from Apple’s iTunes App Store, but in many cases an Android version of an app is very similar. Note, however, that some apps are available only on the Apple platform, or only on the Android or Windows one.
