FORUM ON USING ONLINE RESOURCES FOR TEACHER DEVELOPMENT<br />

Exploiting seminar and conference videos for professional<br />

development and training<br />

Ellen Darling (British Council)<br />

Websites such as EnglishAgenda, TeachingEnglish and IATEFL-Online<br />

provide significant developmental opportunities through freely-available<br />

conference and seminar recordings. In this presentation, I will look at ways<br />

to exploit these talks more effectively. Participants will take away practical<br />

ideas for pre-, while- and post-watching activities for use on their own and<br />

in teacher training contexts.<br />

Theory at home, practice in class<br />

John Arnold (Thomas More University College)<br />

Blended learning and flipped classrooms are becoming more popular in<br />

secondary schools. Therefore, teacher trainers need to experience this<br />

model first-hand. This year, I 'flipped' or 'blended' my teacher training<br />

courses. This talk focuses on the how (the structure, tools), the what (the<br />

content), and the results (student reactions).<br />

Experiences of a webinarian<br />

Gayle Norman (i-to<br />

to-i i TEFL)<br />

Teacher training sessions when teachers are all over the world can pose<br />

challenges! A year hosting teacher training webinars has seen me go from<br />

being a tutor intimidated by this fast-growing area of technology, to one<br />

who’s embracing the opportunity to reach students all over the globe on an<br />

interactive platform. In this session I’ll share my experiences.<br />

Krishna Khatiwada (Kathmandu University)<br />

In this presentation, I shall be highlighting the effectiveness of the English<br />
