Key to my teaching these
English and Spanish as foreign languages is the fact that I have long been integrating technology in my
work with pupils (and fellow teachers). I have tried to innovate, refusing
to just use a blackboard and chalk (more recently, a
whiteboard and markers) and books . I
have made (sometimes by mere encouragement, and others by refusing to have
"NO" for an answer) pupils use technology both during lessons and also at
home either as task after class, or to be ready for class. I have also made it
a point to try to collaborate with teachers from abroad so as to engage my
pupils in communication and collaboration with teens from other parts of the
world.
I favor Blended
learning, combining Face to Face and Virtual teaching and learning. I use Moodle
as a learning platform, yet also get pupils to use digital tools
such as Google's (and others) .
The school encourages the use of technology.
