WAES at The Language Show
Posted by Sandra Pinto Pires | Filed under E Learning, Events
This was WAES‘s second year at The Language Show in Olympia.
And, once again, it was a big success. Our snazzy stand caught everyone’s attention because of all the lovely people working there during these three days, the cost-effective prices and, of course, the famous fortune cookies – Delicious idea!
Loads of people approached WAES’s stand asking for information about all our different courses, certificates, venue, prices, and also offering to work with our team. Many flyers, prospectus and leaflets were handed out and will, definitely, start paying back.
Sharing of good practise…
I attended a few interesting seminars where the successful embedding of technology in teaching was on focus. There are lots of colleges doing different things with technology such as using web tools to create blogs, animations, comic books, web pages, voice threads, podcasts, wikis and so on. The main thought in all these projects was not to use technology unless it is really “Teachnology”.
Teaching creatively through contexts that are interesting for the teachers and learners is something that is kept in mind when using technology.
“Teachnology” is learner centred, progressive, guided, directed, shared, independent, experiential, deductive, flexible, personalised, assessment driven and ICT rich.
These seminars were very inspirational and I really wish we could do something E-special at WAES so that we can be at The Language Show in 2010 talking about our successful TEACHNOLOGY projects.
Here’s another nice video of our presence in the exhibition so you can have taste of what it was like.
It is a very informative and fun video. Have a look!
