Gamefying Learning: The Learners' Input |
Using games in class is a popular strategy with students. However, the class teacher is the sole designer of such activities. Students. on their turn, are reduced to mere consumer of such artifacts created by their teacher. This session shows how it is possible to reverse this trend and get students to create online quizzes themselves. The presenter will first briefly discuss game theory applied to learning. Next, he will showcase some examples of activities and procedures adopted to have students creating their own quizzes which can be shared and played in classroom with their peers. |

Creating Fertile Spaces with Flipped Learning |
Technology and pedagogy go hand-in-hand to create dynamic instructional activities for direct instruction outside of class and application and language use in class. This is the essence of flipped learning, an approach well-suited to EFL settings. Samples of how it is currently being implemented in Morocco at the secondary level and in Colombia at the tertiary level will be provided. |

Flipped Classrooms, Blooms's Taxonomy, and the Role of Frontloading: Putting it all Together |
Flipped classrooms provide an efficient way of spending valuable in-class time on applying and using new concepts after having guided students through valuable learning experiences at home preparing them for in-class work. However, many teachers do not know how to frontload activities and materials to achieve an effectively flipped classroom. In this presentation, basic concepts of flipped classrooms, Bloom's taxonomy, and frontloading will be discussed along with tools and platforms. |
