New Technologies, New Literacies Workshops
Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne & Perth
15, 20, 22 & 24 September, 2010
Over the course of 10 days, Gavin Dudeney and I delivered a series of professional development days entitled New Technologies, New Literacies to TESOL teachers at a variety of centres around Australia. I opened each workshop with a broad, theoretical overview of new literacies, based on my current research on digital literacies. Gavin followed up with two workshop sessions where, after learning about a range of technological tools, participants had a chance to try them out themselves. Gavin focused in particular on how language teachers can work with images, video, word clouds, websites, podcasts, cartoons, slideshows and blogs. We concluded each day with a general Q & A session. Feedback from participants indicates that although there has to date been little PD on offer in this area, there is great interest among language teachers in learning more about how new technologies can support language teaching. For more information, see the flyer and the composite Google Doc co-created by the presenters and attendees in each session. We are particularly grateful to English Australia and Pearson for supporting this professional development tour.
