Abstract:

With technology present in almost all of today's classrooms, TESOL teachers now face challenges of harmonizing technological choice with classroom application. This panel discusses pedagogical and technical principles of selecting appropriate technologies and developing related skills.

Time	Presenter	Title	Summary	Links to materials
9:30-9:35	Stephanie Korslund	Welcome and Introductions	Stephanie will introduce presenters and bios.	none
9:35-9:55	Volker Hegelheimer	Intelligent technologies and pedagogical decisions: Integrating automated writing evaluation tools in the classroom	The presentation is based lessons learned during six years of automated writing evaluation (AWE) tool use in university-level writing classes. It covers pedagogical and practical suggestions aimed at helping teachers make intelligent decisions about the effective use of AWE tools in their classroom.	Hegelheimer.pptx
9:55-10:15	Phil Hubbard	Integrating the TESOL Technology Standards into a CALL Mini-Course	This talk begins with a brief overview of the TESOL Technology Standards and then describes how they have been integrated into an 8-12 hour “mini-course” covering the foundations of CALL that the presenter teaches and updates annually. Participants learn how to freely access both the Standards and the website containing all the course materials.

10:15-10:35	Greg Kessler	Helping teachers make informed decisions about intelligent tools	We are witnessing significant developments in the areas of big data and artificial intelligence. The potential for application of these developments across education is almost too dramatic and vast to comprehend. The presenter will share a number of current developments along with suggested practices for TESOL professionals.	kessler2017a.pptx
10:35-10:55	Christine Rosalia	Lessons in Play: Repositioning technology integration in content-based language classrooms	This talk argues that teachers must deliberately allow time for play in their integration of technology into their content-based language teaching. Decision-making tensions between established and emerging technologies will be highlighted.	Lessons in Play: Repositioning technology integration in content-based language teaching
