BYOD

11. Rationale for iTILT 2
Tablets en digiborden in de klas, ICLON - GPD Talen 2016.Ton Koenraad
• Increase of mobile devices in the educational sector
(Future Source)
• iTILT-based research shows the use of a relatively
limited palette of tools and features for generally form-
focused objectives (Whyte et al., 2014b; Whyte &
Alexander, 2014, Whyte, 2015).
• iTILT team’s conclusion: increased pedagogical
assistance is needed rather than technical support to
promote effective language learning.

12. Aims iTILT #2 (2014 – 2017)
• More practice
reports about
technology use such
as: tablets, VCR,
LRS, etc. … also
combining IWB.
• Updated Library:
more references to
related research &
resources
• Collaborative action
research with school
partners
• an online Community
of Practice (CoP)
with project teachers
• a PD e-resource
based on project
results

13. Computer-assisted Video Communication in the Primary
EFL Classroom: A German-French Exchange
Tablets en digiborden in de klas, ICLON - GPD Talen 2016.Ton Koenraad
• live video
communication
• young learners of
English as a lingua
franca
• IWB for interactional
support

14. Identity Card: First Session
Aim: Learners introduce themselves.
Their interaction is supported by a
prepared IWB file with learners’
names and photos.
90-minute VC activity: Each set of
learners introduced themselves in
turn while a learner in the remote
class dragged and dropped image
and text elements on the IWB page
to construct an identity card for each
speaker.
Follow-up session: learners
pooled their knowledge to
identify the pupils in a large
photograph of the whole
exchange class.

underpinning for the
selection, design & use

• Guidelines &
instructions to exploit
the project website for
CPD activities
• Examples of technology
use (IWB / VCR / Tablet)
– with reference to
theories of second
language acquisition &
teaching methodology
• Documentation of
Practices & App use
