The document discusses using MyBrainShark, an online presentation tool, for language learning. It suggests having students record speaking activities outside of class using tools like MyBrainShark and sharing them with teachers. This "flips" the classroom by moving practice outside of class and connecting it to in-class activities. The document also asks about other creative uses of the tool, integrating it with other software, the benefits of a "connected classroom" approach, and what methods might work best at the institution.

1. 6. Further Ideas + Review

2.  Presentation status inactive -> active
 To share, simply click on the ‘share this’ link
beneath the presentation, or you can get the
embed code to put onto another
website, such as a blog.
Or you edit presentation and then follow the
screen prompt to add to
Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and More.

3.  With the free version you can see what
percentage of the presentation is watched
and from where in the world it is viewed.

4.  By now you have seen all the main
possibilities for using the tool.
 During this week, have you come up with
any other creative ideas that the
tool could be used for.
 Could you integrate other
tools, software with mybrainshark
to optimise learning opportunities?

5. What is the ‘flipped classroom’ and what is the relevance to ELT?
What are the advantages of ‘flipping’?
What are the disadvantages?
What does the ‘connected classroom’ mean?
What is the relevance to ELT? To the IFC at CAFA?

6.  My idea not common language.
 We can get students to do much more interesting
things in language outside of the class.
 We can use tools like
myBrainShark, Eyejot, Audioboo, MailVu to
record themselves speaking outside of the class.

7.  What we do in class and what we do outside of
the class ( connect them)
 For example set up and practice a speaking
activity in the lesson but do speaking on own at
home and then send it to the student.
 It is the CONNECTION that is key. The more
preparation work you do, the better the students
will do the activity.
 Russell Stannard, University of Warwick, 2012

8.  Using the tool for:
 Uploading and narrating:
 Documents, photos, videos.
 Sharing, embedding. and tracking.
 How to deal with problems / constraints.
 Pedagogy of e-learning.

9.  Final question:
 What is going to work on the IFC at CAFA?
 Don’t feel limited to just using
myBrainshark, although this is the tool
proposed to be used for practising speaking
and presentation skills.
 Other skills – Reading, Writing, Listening?

10.  The End.
 Good luck!
