Teaching, learning, and/or assessment processes

 3.Teaching, learning, and/or assessment processes

You should demonstrate your understanding of and engagement with teaching, learning, and assessment processes. In particular, you should consider the needs of your learners and the value the technology brings to particular pedagogies.

a) An understanding of teaching, learning, and/or assessment processes

You should discuss ways that technology for learning can support or work with particular pedagogical approaches. You should include your teaching experience, reflective statements that analyze experience in terms of learning theory, pedagogical approaches, sociological theories, or a comparable, recognized perspective. There should be some consideration of how technology is changing approaches to teaching and learning and/or the roles of learners, teachers, and support staff.

b) An understanding of your target learners

You should discuss the learners' needs and in the context of language learning, and how you have developed approaches that reflect this. Evidence might include a description of how assistive technologies have been used to support disabled students, how learner feedback has influenced the

Technology in the Classroom (and beyond)

  a) An understanding of the constraints and benefits of different technologies For the majority of my career, my relationship to technology has been tied to my work.  As Daniel Scott states in his blog entry, Confessions of a Learning Technologist, “Everyone uses technology, maybe without knowing.  It’s tapping into that and making it into learning opportunities.”  When using technology for technology’s sake we are often simply using technology in the place of an analog method.  A prime example is using word processing in place of writing out a document by hand.  Whereas when we use implement technology with the intent of enhancing our work, teaching, and/or learning then we are able to see what a dramatic difference it can truly make. While I have used different technologies as a bilingual executive secretary and as a primary teacher, I never experienced a real learning curve until I discovered the iPad.  Prior to the iPad the different word processi...
