Open Educational Resources, Online Learning, and other Learning Technologies That Will Change the World – Maybe

Today new online resources and educational technology tools are introduced every day; it is hard for educators to stay current. Educational technology companies tell us their technology is a GAME CHANGER! If we use their new educational technology tool or resource, we will revolutionize our schools and classroom and our students will learn more and learn it faster! Is that true? Can a technology really revolutionize education? Can technology really help students learn better or learn more? Join Marshall Jones in this interactive Keynote address to help you make sense of the ever-changing world of technology in teaching and learning. You will learn some history and learning theory to help you better understand the promises and perils of technology in teaching and learning. You will learn to choose and use the best technologies to support your students and your colleagues as Teachers of English as a Second Language.
