NF2F Guided Learning

• In pairs, find a senior who is currently undergoing practicum. Make sure that you don't find the seniors who go to the same school.

• Find out from your senior which technological layout is available at his or her school. Get him or her to help you take a photo if possible.

• Talk to him or her about how he or she utilizes technology in his or her language classroom. If he or she has not used any technology in the classroom, find out why.

• Read the resources available in the GC, conduct further online searches, and brainstorm as many ways as possible on how you could have utilized the technology if you were in your senior's shoes.

• Choose one of the ways and create an ESL plan or task on how to use technology in that specific context. Consider possible problems that could have arisen in executing the plan and suggest ways to overcome them. You will present this during next week's tutorials.
