Ted-Ed

I created a Ted-Ed lesson on the Use of Technology in Foreign Language Classrooms. The idea is for students to begin thinking outside the box when it comes to technology. So many students tend to focus on the social implications of such materials, but I think that the engagement and feedback mechanisms can play an even more integral part in student achievement. While the video showed one way technology could be used, it also shows the teacher giving students extra help along the way.

Students would be judged on whether their proposed use of technology would be potentially useful in a classroom. If students shows some level of thought in their response it would be considered successful. The main idea is to spread engagement through engagement. An active student is more likely to learn successfully than one who tries to absorb information via osmosis.
