podium a lot last year at KSU. I used google docs and moodle in every f2f
class at a local university last semester. It's difficult to state frequency, as I
have had a different job in a different country for the past 5 years, so what I
have done frequently in the past in one job, I havn't necessarily done in other

2 No or little personal information required for sign up Jun 27, 2012 10:49 AM
3 andragogically justified (smile) = very important, but this is subjective to a Jun 24, 2012 11:44 PM
degree. [motivating = very subjective as well] "you can't please everyone all
of the time, but you can try to please some of the people some of the time"
4 I wish the ICT/Web tool is used for language learning, not just for the sake of Jun 23, 2012 4:00 PM
using techonology itself. So whenever a certain tool is used, it should be
justified: is it really necessary to use it?
5 Option to embed on another website - important; Privacy (for my students) - Jun 22, 2012 6:48 PM
very important

27. Page 3, Q13. How do you or would you assess the success or effectiveness of a particular ICT/Web Tool?
(optional)
1 I use my teacher/trainer judgement. Is it worth it pedogocially? the time I and Jul 6, 2012 6:09 AM
they will spend on it, is it useful?
2 Speed to results time is short. Jul 6, 2012 4:24 AM
3 students' feedback Jul 5, 2012 3:38 PM
4 How much it helps with learning outcomes; how the students respond to it; if Jul 3, 2012 6:56 AM
other teachers want to use it too
5 That the amount of time and effort involved is worth it in terms of Jul 2, 2012 6:28 PM
pedagogical usefulness and benefit.
6 Students' engagement and effective results Jun 29, 2012 10:41 PM
7 If it's easy to use for me and if students like it. Jun 28, 2012 10:51 AM
8 It makes teaching interesting and active Jun 28, 2012 8:09 AM
9 If the students are engaged and motivated enough to use it as a tool for Jun 28, 2012 3:56 AM
improvement on a frequent basis.
10 Regularly, this would be carried out when reflecting on success of the Jun 27, 2012 9:23 PM
lesson.
11 If students have learnt how to use it, and keep using a web tool, so it is a Jun 27, 2012 4:19 PM
success.
12 Considering basically how easy it is to use, and pedagogic criteria. Jun 27, 2012 4:05 PM
13 If it was successful in allowing the learners to achieve a learning outcome Jun 27, 2012 3:26 PM
and a bnus if it also helped develop their IT skills simultaneously.
14 Student interest and course value Jun 27, 2012 11:02 AM
15 When teachers and students like using it and have fun Jun 27, 2012 10:36 AM
16 Student feedback and self-reflection Jun 27, 2012 10:01 AM
17 Student feeedback and ease of use Jun 27, 2012 9:43 AM
18 It depends on the activity and objetctive that I have in that moment. Jun 27, 2012 9:29 AM
19 By how successfully I can integrate it into an activity without it becoming Jun 27, 2012 9:29 AM
about the tech and switching the focus or time away from the learning
objective.
20 As per 'very important' above. Jun 27, 2012 9:22 AM
21 Student's response Student's frequency of use Student's proficiency in Jun 27, 2012 9:11 AM
performance
22 a tool is useful / successful to the extent that it allows me to do better what I Jun 27, 2012 9:07 AM
used to do eg with SmartNotebook I find I can go faster & have more impact
than without it.
23 tool can not be the focus of the lesson - students use the tool in their 'free' Jun 27, 2012 9:03 AM

time as well.
24 Student feedback, my experience. Jun 27, 2012 8:49 AM
25 Whether it serves the purpose, to guide students in their learning. A lot of the Jun 26, 2012 9:36 PM
assessment is from students' opinions. I also find that it needs to be
relatively easy to integrate into my lesson, and at the moment I am not
completely changing the way I teach to incorporate technology - for instance,
I am not "flipping" classrooms.
26 If the students use it (do the activity proposed) Jun 26, 2012 3:45 PM
27 If it provides a more effective way of achieving the lesson aims than not Jun 26, 2012 9:17 AM
using the tool. So, does it help the learners do something quicker and
better?
28 Twitter, blog, LinkedIn, and/or other professional networked PLN Jun 24, 2012 11:44 PM
connections' comments... *I usually explore and if my first impressions are
strong, will google to see if Nik Peachey or Webheads or other names I
know/respect have written about it, provided tutorials, examples. Often I
experiment, save to diigo, save to Portaportal
guest.portaportal.com/englishworldwide
29 excellent Jun 24, 2012 9:55 PM
30 I have never used ICT technology apart from showing some Youtube videos Jun 24, 2012 9:33 PM
to my students as well as some videos on DVDs. Therefore, I cannot really
speak from my experience of using a particular ICT/Web Tool. However, I
would say if the students are engaged in the activity using ICT I would
consider it as being successful.
31 by the motivation and response of ss Jun 24, 2012 8:37 PM
32 Pedagogical and useful related to language skills. Jun 24, 2012 7:51 PM
33 By Ss or peer feedback Jun 24, 2012 7:00 PM
34 it brings an educational benefit to the lesson. It doesn't exist merely because Jun 24, 2012 1:00 PM
it exists but integrates into a lesson/course.
35 view learning results of students, observation of the learning process Jun 24, 2012 12:02 PM
36 Do the students find it engaging and useful? Does it do something we can't Jun 24, 2012 11:20 AM
do without it? Does it promote language learning? Is it flexible--i.e. can
students change/adapt it, and does it offer students more roles than just
passive consumer?
37 By how well it met my expecations as shown in question 12 Jun 24, 2012 8:28 AM
38 easy to get access to /navigate/use, free/cheap, useful Jun 23, 2012 4:00 PM
39 If students enjoy it, and have demonstrated use of target language Jun 23, 2012 3:43 PM
40 The amount of use it gets outside the classroom Jun 23, 2012 2:34 PM
41 I try to use it in my teaching and depending on student-response I would Jun 23, 2012 1:32 PM
decide if it's an effective tool for me.

(optional)
42 It depends on my professional practice.I feel pleasure as well as motivated to Jun 23, 2012 1:32 PM
kiss the ICT world.
43 If I cannot imagine my life without that means it has to be good :-) Jun 23, 2012 12:19 PM
44 If students learn from using it and/or enjoy using it, then I could say that the Jun 23, 2012 8:57 AM
tool is useful for me and my learners.
45 Ease of use, student feedback and results. Jun 23, 2012 8:20 AM
46 I would say that such tools as Pixton, Wordle, YouTube, Jing, Wallwisher Jun 22, 2012 10:04 PM
proved really effective in my one-to-one and group classes. They motivate
students and make learning fun. And while having fun, students are still
learning "serious" stuff. Besides, they see that their teacher keeps up with
the modern world.
47 Student reaction is the main thing for me. If they have a positive reaction to Jun 22, 2012 6:48 PM
it, then engagement and motivation are easier to achieve and the learning
goals are more easily reached. I also look for all students to be involved -
some lessons with video and voice-recording have really encouraged my shy
students to open up, something that would have been more difficult without
tech tools.

30. Page 4, Q14. How autonomous are you? How frequently do you do the following in respect of learning about
ICT/Web Tools?
1 learn watching tutorials in youtube Jun 28, 2012 6:26 AM
2 Budgets are often not available for ICT so self-development is most Jun 28, 2012 4:01 AM
frequently done on an individual and independent basis
3 This year I set up a free blended course for Italian Modern Foreign Language Jun 27, 2012 3:39 PM
Teachers (http://lendbg.wikispaces.com) who belong to LEND, a national
association for Language Teachers (www.lend.it)
4 Most often I have a go and if it's not intuitive and easy to work out, or I want Jun 27, 2012 3:30 PM
ideas on how to use then I Google it and will usually find a YouTube video or
blog with loads of great advice.,
5 Watch, do, share is my motto! Jun 27, 2012 9:45 AM
6 *fully learn ??? Is that possible :) Jun 24, 2012 11:48 PM
7 I teach it to others once I get to grips with it. Jun 24, 2012 7:54 PM
8 I don't consider myself a very autonomous learner when it comes to ICT, Jun 24, 2012 11:33 AM
although I'm gradually getting better because I think learner autonomy is
important and interesting and ideally would like to foster it in my own
classrooms.
9 Blog posts written by other teachers about how they have used the tool in Jun 22, 2012 6:51 PM
class (practical examples) are also useful

31. Page 4, Q15. What are the barriers to learning about and then implementing ICT/Web Tools in respect of your
teaching practice. Tick all that apply for you. If 'none at all' please state so in the box.
1 If software has to be downloaded - permissions are required from IT which Jul 3, 2012 7:00 AM
takes time.
2 'none at all' Jun 28, 2012 6:26 AM

6 *perception* of not enough pedagogical value by uninformed teachers and Jun 27, 2012 10:07 AM
administrators
7 Time - not that it's time consuming to learn them, just that I don't have Jun 26, 2012 9:21 AM
enough time in the day to devote to fully discovering, assessing and
incorporating the tech into the lessons. At least, not all the time!
8 *not enough andragogical value :) Jun 24, 2012 11:48 PM
9 My organisation's corporate network doesn't allow me to use unapproved Jun 24, 2012 1:03 PM
software on its system.
10 Physical discomfort associated with using the computer: too many hours Jun 24, 2012 11:33 AM
hunched over my tiny netbook. Seriously! I think the ergonomic issues are
the elephant in the living room. Yes there are remedies for these but I can't
afford (or don't prioritize the expense) of getting the equipment necessary to
make it ergonomically more sustainable to spend more time on the
computer. Not to mention eyestrain. But actually I think it is important to turn
off the computer every day and go outside, get exercise, focus on other
things. I think another elephant in the living room with ICT is the problem of
deteriorating quality of concentration that many of us have been
experiencing as we become more adept and frequent ICT users in every
aspect of our lives. Maybe this is just a stage that we pass through and learn
to remedy--I hope!
11 Those I've ticked above are reasons why I might not learn or implement a Jun 24, 2012 8:35 AM
particular tool.

1 good to topic to investigate:) Jul 6, 2012 6:12 AM
2 It's a great survey. Thanks for it. I look forward to seeing the results of it. Jul 6, 2012 4:29 AM
Good luck in your Masters.
3 the context in the developeing world is signficantly different. Jul 5, 2012 3:43 PM
4 It would have been interesting to see a question about OS platforms and Jul 1, 2012 7:11 AM
how Universities like mine set up CALL systems without consulting teachers
who actually use the equipment.
5 In most of the third world countries, there are still some problems on the Jun 28, 2012 8:17 AM
development of ICT in language teaching and learning. There is the
question of power which is partly available and technology accessibility to
people and schools in up country areas.
6 No Jun 27, 2012 4:23 PM
7 n/a Jun 27, 2012 12:14 PM
8 Questions not always clear when to use 'N/A', Jun 27, 2012 9:46 AM
9 Some ofthe questions were difficult to understand and some were repetitive, Jun 27, 2012 9:33 AM
however, I encourage you to do the dissertation that I consider interesting.
10 Question 16 is difficult to answer accurately because of the way the Jun 26, 2012 9:22 AM
statements are phrased in relation to the options available.
11 Interesting survey, when I read the tools available I was surprised how little I Jun 26, 2012 8:49 AM
actually know.. I had considered myself quite knowledgeable about use of
technology for teaching !
12 For 10 years I worked with an Adult Learning Center where prof. dev. was Jun 24, 2012 11:51 PM
supported = if you presented, your way was paid (most years). I have
helped coordinate regional and state conferences (Virginia), attended and
presented at TESOL annual conferences, several other state conferences,
and many other opportunities. It was much easier when there was
institutional support. It is not impossible now, but more limited.
13 nope Jun 24, 2012 10:00 PM
14 No, none. Jun 24, 2012 7:54 PM
15 Sometimes it's not wether you're a technophobe or the opposite, but the fact Jun 24, 2012 7:24 PM
that there's more to it. For instance, badly equipped classrooms, or time
constrictions. The students play a mayor role too. In my country there's also
the need for more teacher development programs that help us to integrate
our subject matter with tecnology and not merely use it to do the same old
things in new ways just because it's there.
16 Yes, the disregard of self-employed teachers' engagement in ITC on their Jun 24, 2012 4:46 PM
own is rather disheartening, very exclusive, although it's clear that the last
questions were about support. Still some variants for self-
employed/freelance teachers could be added to listen to all opinions, not
only to the opinions of those who work in institutions...
17 I was a bit confused on the final page where I was asked to talk about Jun 24, 2012 3:34 PM
"always" or "never" for what seemed to be questions of opinion (rather than

frequency). In any case, it was an enjoyable and interesting survey.
18 Please see a post I wrote recently responding to Scott Thornbury's post Jun 24, 2012 11:35 AM
entitled T is for Technology. My blog is passthediploma.edublogs.org
19 Would love to see waht my colleagues think - some are complete Jun 24, 2012 8:36 AM
tehnophobes - will forward to them.
20 There are a lot of things I would like to try with students, but with one Jun 23, 2012 3:50 PM
computer per classroom, and an offsite computer lab, it just seems such a
hassle to coordinate everything. It seems we are in a bind because the
institutions want teachers to integrate ICT, but cannot provide the machinery
or training to make it happen. Frustrating!
21 Basically the survey that you are carrying out is really challenging. One thing Jun 23, 2012 1:49 PM
that you have to analyze the data collected very carefully otherwise you have
to face some problems I am sure your dissertation will be very effective.Best
of Luck
22 I think that at least in our country everything depends on a teacher, on their Jun 22, 2012 10:11 PM
enthusiasm to use ICT. I have always been the one who initiated using new
technologies in class, and held trainings for other teachers. But I mostly have
one-to-one classes, so I am free to choose whichever technology I like. And
my students are happy with that.
23 Technology, like many other 'issues' in ELT, seems to divide opinion and be Jun 22, 2012 6:54 PM
misused. In my current situation, many teachers either see it as pointless or
use it without considering learning aims and/or suitability. Training is simply
not frequent enough and the school seems unwilling to invest in both the
necessary training and in upgrading/maintaining equipment. I'm trying to
change things but it's a slow process!
