SIMPLE IDEAS TO USE TECHNOLOGY IN CLASSROOMS
§Use
of smartphones in class
You can make your students use their smartphones during the lessons to practice a vsriety of things without downloading any internet applications. All you need is internet connection and whatsapp, which all students have if they have a smart phone. The instructions for all the tasks start with the same sentence: ' TAKE OUT YOUR SMARTPHONES' which really draw students' attention.
TAKE
OUT YOUR SMART PHONES AND
FIND A HOUSE TO RENT IN DUBLIN FOR YOU AND YOUR PEER
TAKE
OUT YOUR SMART PHONES AND
PLAN A WEEKEND WITH YOUR FRIENDS IN ANKARA
TAKE
OUT YOUR SMART PHONES AND
LET’S GO SOMEWHERE TOGETHER…

§Use
of the Internet and laptops in class
You can use Youtube
videos to practise
grammar with your students. For example, you can use the video in the following link to practise the present continuous tense:
Here are the slides explaining how to realize the activity:
You can also open an account on www.mentimeter.com and have your students prepare 'word clouds'. You can also prepare mini quizzes and have your students answer the questions at the same time in class. Here is how it looks:
§Use
of blogs with students
Because all you need is a gmail account to open a blog in www.blogger.com, you can open a blog for your class, and from time to time you can ask your students to produce some paragraphs, dialogues, to post them in their blogs. Students are more motivated to produce something if they know that it will be published online. The following link is an example from my classroom:

You can also open a blog for yourself and share your ideas with the rest of the world :) Have a look at my blog :

Collaborative
Paragraph Writing via GoogleDocs
Yeliz Akel
What is GoogleDocs?
Google Docs is a free online
program that allows multiple users to edit the same document at the same
time.
Where in the
course did I use it?
Eng 101 - English for Academic
Purposes 1
Unit 1 – Paragraph Writing
- How to develop a (expository) paragraph
- Unity & Coherence
Why such a
task?
Diagnosing students’ writing
performance
22-25 students
Limited time
Learner Autonomy
Making use of peer feedback
A fresh twist to a writing
task
Why
GoogleDocs?
Impressive J

Love of technology J
The Task

Topic sentences provided by
the instructor.
a. Make an outline in class
b. Start writing in class (if time allows)
c. Complete at home. (GoogleChat: communicate while viewing the document)

What else
with Google Docs
1. Brainstorming
(groups work on a single document collaboratively)
2. Analyzing a
piece of writing
Whole class is
given one piece of writing
Each group
highlights a different group of mistakes in the text in different colors
3.

Students complete a story outside
class and when they want (not when you want them to), starting from where their peers left.
How to create

Possible
downsides

sure the activity is really meaningful in terms of its objectives and outcomes.
