Speaker
Description
Project-based lessons are widely used and considered great ways to enhance engagement, facilitate collaboration, and provide opportunities for authentic learning experiences. In addition to those great benefits, teachers can integrate technology tools to create dynamic and interactive learning experiences among students in stages of the lessons. The educational technology can be used to maximise student engagement and language acquisition. The workshop presentation will focus on applying those tools in the specific stages of doing a project in English classrooms. Teachers can introduce and set project goals relevant to students’ lives and interests. After that, students can research information using educational technology tools such as Padlet, Google Slides, Canva, Heyzine, etc. By actively using educational technology, the learners can source credible information and check facts independently and collaboratively. After that, the exploration and designing of products enhance students’ presentation performance and learning experience. In this workshop, the author will present the specific tools and solutions in each stage so that teachers can directly use them in project-based lessons.
