On Sun Feb 14 Electronic Village Online, http://evosessions.pbworks.com, or EVO 2016, held its annual wrap-up online event live-streamed on http://webheadsinaction.org by Jeff Lebow, who helped host the event along with Teresa Almeida d’Eca, Vance Stevens, Nina Liakos, and Mbarek Akaddar. This event is where all involved in Electronic Village Online are invited to gather and talk about what they have learned and accomplished in the past 5 weeks.

Each session gets a 5 minute space in which to explain what they did and how they did it, and all EVOMC16 moderators and participants are invited to contribute to the conversation and to the subsequent recording. Moderators can set the timing of this conversation by reserving slots at a Google doc on behalf of their sessions, but participants are especially welcome to join the conversation and give their feedback on the session.

Sat, Feb 13 1500 UTC Judy Thompson – Literacy and Pronunciation Making the Impossible Possible

Judy writes: “I am frequently asked if there is any point teaching Pronunciation to Literacy level learners? Don’t they have enough on their minds? It is not only possible, it’s empowering and fun to teach Pronunciation from the moment students begin to study English. I’ll show you how.”

Sat Feb 13 1700 UTC Classroom 2.0 LIVE with Sam Gliksman

We are really looking forward to hearing from our special guest, Sam Gliksman, on our show this week. Sam is the author of Creating Media for Learning and he has some great tips and tools to share with us for designing student-centered projects! Mobile devices are redefining the nature of our everyday interactions and media creation has become part of our everyday language. If communication is the heart of education then media creation can and should be utilized for deeper and more effective learning. In this webinar we’ll look at how to design student-centered projects that use formats such as video, animation, eBooks and more. If you have a mobile device Sam would like you to download the free DAQRI app prior to the webinar so you will be prepared to experience how it works. Apple app for iPad/iPhone Android appSam Gliksman has been leading innovative technology applications in private industry and education for over 25 years. He is recognized as a prominent expert on technology and educational reform, and he currently works as an independent educational technology consultant, speaker and author. Sam has been a pioneer in promoting the use of mobile technology in education. He wrote ‘iPad in Education for Dummies’ book which was released in January 2013 which is a great primer for anyone interested in the educational applications of mobile technology. He manages the ‘iPads in Education’ network which has a membership of thousands of educators worldwide and is recognized as a leading source for the use of mobile devices in education.
