This presentation updates earlier ones on how to use the voice affordances of iPads and other mobile devices to make writing as well as teaching writing and giving feedback increasingly easier and more effective when students are using such devices.than when voice tools are not appropriately enlisted. The presenter learns more every day about how to use these tools in teaching, and here he conveys what he has learned in hopes it will help other teachers of writing whose students are challenged when trying to write effectively on mobile devices.

This presentation is from the TESOL Conference in Toronto, March 28, 2015, entitled Crossing networks, building connections: Inspiring always-on learners and teachers. The presentation covers 15++ years experience with learners and colleagues in virtual spaces practicing engagement in online and blended contexts. It examines the burgeoning of connectivist learning opportunities from pioneer days to the proliferation of those available today, and explores ways in which learning online reshapes our notions of engaging with students.

Learning2gether is an initiative of Vance Stevens evolving from synchronous meetings with Webheads in Action taking place weekly since 1998 and more directly from three WiAOC (WiA Online Convergences) in 2005, 2007, and 2009. L2g started in 2010 and has hosted conversations most weeks since, usually on Sundays (but for this occasion, on a Saturday). L2g encourages all educators who enjoy connecting with peers to volunteer to contribute their voices to perpetuating weekly conversations at our L2g venues. This presentation explains how L2g works and how you can contribute and participate.

In our context, we can render the unclear audio to text by listening to it, parsing it mentally, saying it back into the SR engine, and then creating text manipulation exercises from it that force students to attend to certain details in the text / speech. We have created Hot Potatoes exercises where the audio is embedded in the exercise and the students can play the audio, complete the exercise, and get a score. This explains how and why we do it.

Making trackable listening exercises with Hot Potatoes, BbLearn and Gradebook This KBZAC PD session was trialed Nov 26, 2014. It demonstrates how to use Dictanote to make quick transcripts of ATC broadcasts, embed the mp3 into a Hot Potatoes quiz, port it to Blackboard and integrate it with the Gradebook. (it is planned to update these slides as more is learned about how to actually make this work - perhaps viewers could leave suggestions or comments in the discussion space here)

The following information on the workshop is here: http://glocall.org/course/view.php?id=81&topic=0#section-8 Connecting Live Online with our Personal Learning Networks by Vance Stevens This 2-hour workshop will introduce the concept and importance of Personal Learning Networks and suggest ways that educators can engage in almost unlimited opportunities for professional development online. One such possibility is participation in weekly Learning2gether events (L2g) coordinated by the presenter. This workshop introduces two tools used frequently in L2g and shows participants how they can use them in their professional development. The first of these is Blackboard Collaborate (available on grant to L2g participants) and the second is Google+ Hangouts. The workshop will walk participants through the process of setting up and conducting events using each tool. Topics include using social media to advertise your events, how to moderate sessions using each tool, and how to archive them. Participants will learn how to stream Hangouts so that they can be attended by many more than the ten allowed in the Hangout itself at any one time.

Becoming a Webhead is not offered as an EVO session for the first time in ten years, but its moderators have created an alternative EVO session to follow on the collaborative spirit of BaW - ICT4ELT at http://ict4elt2014.pbworks.com. Now that BaW is no longer being offered, its moderators think it important to introduce ICT4ELT participants to the Webheads <http: />, so they have invited Vance Stevens to join them in a live session in Week 5. This would be also an opportunity for ICT4ELT to get to know Learning2gether, at which, says Jose Antonio Da Silva, "there is always someone presenting something very interesting every weekend."

MultiMOOC is about chaos in learning and how to engage learners in resolving that chaos through networking with one another. This presentation introduces a connectivist take on chaos in learning, with its suggestion that sense-making can be enhanced through a network of learners. Taking the Cynefin distinction of simple, complicated, complex, and chaotic problems, MOOCs seem directed at the latter two. We look at some examples of how learning occurs in MOOCs and wind up with some implications for the future.

Chaos in learning: Engaging learners in resolving chaos through networking

The Reform Symposium Conference is but one of a myriad of events taking place almost constantly now where teachers have opportunities for meeting in online spaces and sharing information and expertise with one another. The MOOC concept, whether xMOOC or cMOOC, provides steady often overlapping opportunities for deeper, more prolonged engagement not only with niche topics, but more importantly with others interested in those niches. Google Hangouts on Air now make it possible for anyone to simulcast an event, and many do, extending invitations to colleagues in a mushroom field of communities. It seems there is something of this nature going on every minute, and social media is working virally to spread the word among educators. Stepping back to a wider perspective on this phenomenon, what is going on every minute is networked, connectivist learning. Open education, driven by learners connecting with other learners, is taking place around the clock, around the globe, in countless free spaces, bound only by the amount of time participants can make to engage and absorb the knowledge inherent in their networks. The possibilities this unleashes are only starting to be realized by the brick and mortar establishment. Not that we should quit our daytime jobs any time soon, but we should certainly rethink them. This presentation will draw on present circumstances to inform how we might rethink our role as educators, or perhaps more importantly, encourage others to follow our example. The presenter has been involved in coordinating two virtual communities that have been interacting and learning from one another daily for the past decade. This presentation will show through representative examples how participants in these networks acquire the tools for re-thinking how they engage their students. Networked learning is ineffable in that it must be experienced to be understood, and those without that experience have difficulty grasping a full range of its affordances. As the behavior of participants in online networked learning changes, so their teaching styles change, and the better they are able to model for their students characteristics of what they find most effectively leads to their learning what they want to know in an increasingly interconnected world.

This slide show is updated from 2013, on Learning2gether classroots weekly online professional development - This session was one of several held this week at Al Ain Men's College (AAMC) as part of an in-house professional development week in April 2013. It was updated on Aug 25, 2013 for the annual MoodleMoot Virtual Conference MMVC13 Description of event: Learning2gether is a wiki which, since September 2010, has served to organize teachers in meeting online at regular times weekly to conduct free “class-roots” professional development seminars and discuss topics of mutual interest to teachers of ESOL in particular and educators in general. Presenters and participants range from expert to those merely interested in the topics. Participants come from all over the world, but from its inception there has been an effort to involve teaching practitioners in Arab countries through coordination with the TESOL Arabia TAEDTECH-SIG. Sessions are recorded, and a growing archive of recorded resources is accumulating at the associated podcast site. This session will introduce teachers to the endeavor and invite them to become involved.

Abstract (100 words): Data gathered on courses to exploit the individual laptop environment for students in the UAE navy college showed high satisfaction with this approach. Training for teachers in the tools and rationale used was organized in a blended environment with 20 steps to be completed emulating the way classes had been conducted at the navy college. As they completed each step, trainees tracked their progress in a shared GoogleDoc while a wiki gave links to what the teachers accomplished as they tackled their 20 tasks. The presentation concludes with teacher reaction to the blended environment used for their training. Summary: The author designed courses to exploit the individual laptop environment for students in the UAE navy college using Web 2.0 tools such as GoogleDocs, Prezi, Blogger, SurveyMonkey, and Jing. When data gathered from students found high satisfaction with this approach, the presenter was transferred to the aviation college to train teachers there in the tools and rationale used with the navy cadets. Training was organized in a blended environment with a blog portal outlining 20 steps emulating the way classes had been conducted at the navy college, where students were set tasks in the class wiki portal, shown in class how to master the language and software needed, and then guided in completing the tasks and projects. As they completed each step, teachers tracked their progress in an online spreadsheet, and wrote the URLs of online artifacts created in a shared GoogleDocs spreadsheet. Tabs in the blog pointed the trainees to a model wiki portal providing links to student artifacts online. Similarly in the sidebar of the training wiki there emerged links to what the teachers accomplished as they tackled their 20 tasks. This paper concludes with how the teachers responded to the blended environment used for their training.

Training Teachers in Web2.0 Tools for Teaching and Learning EFL

This presentation describes a course in teacher professional development that has been evolving gradually into a MOOC model. MOOCs enable participants to articulate and explore individual learning strategies. This differentiates master learners from those they are employed to teach. When learners must adapt to jobs that haven’t been invented yet, teachers must help learners become master learners; otherwise their ‘training’ only applies to known jobs.

Learning2Gether is an informal, loosely knit professional group serving since 2010 as a venue for teachers to meet weekly online and model for one another collaborative community-building techniques for teacher professional development which participants can in turn apply to constructivist and connectivist learning activities with students. This workshop will introduce the concept and some of the free Web 2.0 tools involved, including survey results and blog post data suggesting high levels of student enthusiasm for Web 2.0 tools such as Prezi, Jing, Blogger, Google Docs, Slideshare.net, and SurveyMonkey. The problem of course is for teachers to become comfortable enough with such tools to use them effectively with students, and this where Learning2gether with peers helps teachers model for one another how Web 2.0 tools contribute to the learning of all concerned. This workshop will show participants how L2G functions as a wiki, and walk them through the movement’s call for participation and its recorded archives. The presenter will attempt to connect participants live with other teachers in the L2G PLN through one or more of our free synchronous presentation tools (e.g. Google+ Hangout). Participants will be encouraged to join future L2G activities or perhaps start such groups of their own.

Vance Stevens presents and discusses a course on presentation skills which he designed. Working with EFL college students who each have laptop computers, he engaged them in communicative and constructivist task-based activities in working with Web 2.0 software tools he introduced to the students: Prezi, Jing, Blogger, and SurveyMonkey. This talk presents results of a poll of the students on their attitudes toward using Prezi in place of PowerPoint, and presents evidence from their blogs and from their choice of SurveyMonkey as a tool for creating their own questionnaires, of their enthusiasm for learning and using these tools for academic communications.
