 * & Date** || **Reflections** ||

have on engagement and learning the the Indonesian classroom? ||  || Aims: To assess the effectiveness of introducing a new technology to the classroom. To develop a greater understanding of the use of new technologies and student preference. ||  || The aim is to: Assess changes in student engagement and satisfaction with delivery. Assess teacher and student opinion of skill development in oral language during the investiagtion. Assess the three apps for both teacher and student satisfaction- with the focus on oral language development. ||  ||
 * Classroom Based Investigation Planner**
 * Focus of Inquiry: Introducing Ipads and language Apps to the Indonesian LOTE Program ||  ||
 * Student Learning Question : What effect does the introduction of Ipads and the re;ated Apps
 * Teacher Learning Question: How can I use ipads to improve student engagement and learning in the LOTE classroom? ||  ||
 * Rationale: Students engage more meaningfully in classes when a variety of learning approaches are employed. This is particularly true with ICT and students are excitied by the newest in technologies. At this stage ipads have not been employed in any program within the school. I would like investigate the outcomes when ipads are introduced to the program with particular emphasis on engagement and learning success. The results would be recorded by both teacher observation nad a questionaire given to the students before and after the investiagation.
 * Design: Ipads to be purchased for student use and linked with classroom tasks as a tool concentrating on 3 particualar apps which highlight oral language development. Students to be surveyed before the start of the program to establish their opinions of laerning activities previously undertaken including computers used to assist learning. During the investigation the students would be required to complete activities using the 3 choaen Apps- Explain Everything, Morfo and Photobabble. At the conclusion of the investigation the students would again be surveyed to determine their views on learning in the classroom during the trial. A teacher observation diary would also be maintained. ||  ||
 * **Implementation** ||
 * Following the purchase and availability of the ipads each class session would include an oral language activity which required specific use of the ipads and the three apps chosen. Oral language development would be the central aim of each activity. ||
 * Analysis & Reporting ||
 * Analysis: As a control to the program students would seal their original questionaires which would only be viewed once the investiagtion had finished and the second questionaire completed. After compiling and analysising the questionaire results these could be compared with classroom teacher diary observations.
 * Reporting: Results will be based on interpreting student and teacher opinions and satisfaction. There will be no attempt to establish measurable skills levels before and after the investigation. Results will therefore be subjective. ||  ||
 * Evaluation: Student opinion will be the prime determiner for the impact of the use of ipads and the success levels of the apps chosen. ||  ||
 * Implications: The results could clearly inform the teacher of student preference in learning activities, the use of this particular ICT application and the value of the aprticular apps chosen. There are obvious implications fot the on-going design of the LOTE program. ||

SECTION A: Discuss these questions with your table group SECTION B: MY GOALS Set yourself some goals for your use of ICT in your classrooms. Start small and build up, but do challenge yourself. J McCulloch 2008
 * ICT PLAN **
 * What ICT resources have you used in your classroom? ||
 * // From an intercultural perspective //, how did it promote:
 * active construction ** of learning/ideas
 * making connections ** with prior learning, new knowledge, across languages and cultures
 * interaction ** between learners/users of the language
 * reflection ** on language learning and use
 * responsibility ** for learning and for appropriate communication across cultures ? ||
 * Making connections: E.g. interaction between Learners. ||
 * What ICT resources (equipment and programs) do you have access to: Personally? At school? What do your students have access to? ||
 * What opportunities could you create for your students: to ENGAGE with ICT? to CREATE with ICT? ||
 * How would this enhance your teaching of your language? ||
 * What technology would you like to incorporate into your classroom/lessons? ||
 * What technology do your students prefer? What implications does this have for your teaching? ||
 * What ideas for ICT projects do you currently have? ||
