Hands-on session is impossible!
----------------------------------------------------------------
Effective integration of technology in classroom instruction:

There are numerous web-based tools available that can be utilized for educational purposes, including learning management systems (LMS), blogging platforms, social networking/messaging services, photo/slide/video sharing sites, and online quiz and survey builders, and an increasing number of teachers are becoming interested in or have already started integrating these tools in classroom instruction. Those interested, but uncertain or not yet confident about incorporating some newer technologies into their lessons and activities, may be wondering how beneficial it can be, if it is too time-consuming, where they should start, or what particular tool(s) they should choose.

This workshop will provide those undecided with an opportunity to try out some of these web tools so that they can see what teaching/learning activities are enabled or facilitated, and examine if/how these technology-enhanced activities fit into their curriculum or teaching context. Participants will experience how these tools can facilitate frequent interaction, instant feedback, and effective sharing of students’ work. Sample activities taken from the presenter’s classroom practice will illustrate how the teacher can adapt particular tools differently in different contexts, including a grammar course held in a traditional classroom setting and a TESOL course or others using a computer lab.

In addition to hands-on experience using and preparing some of these technology-enhanced activities, issues related to learner characteristics, such as accommodating different learning needs, getting/keeping all students active in their learning, and preparing weaker students for self-paced study will be addressed. Resources and activities for this workshop will be managed through an LMS (Moodle). (249)

Mari Yamauchi teaches English and TESOL at Kobe Kaisei College. Her research interests include teaching EFL to Japanese university students, developmental education, cross-linguistic studies of tense and aspect and written text analysis. (32)

毒にも薬にもなる話 - 養老孟司

毒にも薬にもなる話 (中公文庫) 養老 孟司 関連商品 あなたの脳にはクセがある―「都市主義」の限界 (中公文庫) こまった人 (中公新書) 養老孟司 ガクモンの壁 (日経ビジネス人文庫) ぼちぼち結論 (中公新書) 脳のシワ (新潮文庫) by G-Tools

養老さんは、ことあるごとに「私は教科書に墨を塗った世代である」とおっしゃる。そして、その体験が今の自分（の考え方）に影響していると。例えば：

ともかくこの世代は、子どものうちに敗戦で、「皇居に向かって最敬礼」が、一夜明ければ「平和憲法、マッカーサー万歳」になった。どうせコロッと変わる世の中を、そんなにムキになることはあるまい。子どものときからそれが身についている。（本書, p.128）

世間の常識なり価値観なりが相対的なものだということを体感してらっしゃるのが、この方の「芸」（と自分でもおっしゃる）の強みだなあと思う。頭の中で体験するしかない身としては、ある意味うらやましい気もする。健全な距離感がきもちよい。
