A Call to Apps: Current best practices in digital pedagogy
Rab Paterson (Toyo University, Tokyo)
6:30 pm start, doors will be open from 6:00 pm. Finishing around 8:00 pm
Venue: Tenjin: Kurume University Satellite Campus in the ELGALA building, next to Daimaru, near Tenjin Minami station. Use the south-east "Office" entrance. (See our locations page for a map image)
1,000 yen for non-members, JALT members free.
This session will cover a range of current best practices in digital pedagogy, with practical examples drawn a range of pedagogical approaches to learning and related apps. These will all be demonstrated by examples from the presenter's own classes showing how a range of Apps can be combined in an App Smashing way to maximise the educational benefits. However, this session will not just be a typical 'how to use apps' type workshop. The benefits to students in terms of their improved mind-brain learning as a rationale behind the adoption of these apps will also be covered, as will the motivational benefits for students that challenge / project based learning brings. Everything will be demonstrated in an easy to understand way, so the session is suitable for educators with a wide range of edtech skills. After the initial overview and demonstration, the session will become more hands-on and the instructor will go on to work directly with attendees* on how to set up and use these particular apps, and also illustrate how teachers can use them. The workshop will end with a more traditional Q and A session, although attendees are free to ask pertinent questions throughout the session.
