In this workshop session your committee will explore some old ways and some new trends to get an overview of how things stand in technology for learning globally. The four areas your group must investigate are:

1. old things and old ways – dedicated technology venues
2. old things and new ways – one technology device in the classroom
3. new things and old ways – will old tactics work with mobile technologies?
4. new things and new ways – what do emerging trends show us about how we may have to adapt our teaching?

You will operate in jigsaw groups. In case you do not know what this refers to here is a summary of how a jigsaw group works.

1. Your tutor will have grouped you in your home (design) groups which you will find on the Groups menu.
2. In your home groups decide which members of your group will address which one of the four options listed above. Your group should cover all four areas.
3. As an individual, go to the Groups’ menu and look for the “expert group” which corresponds to the number 1-4 allocated to you by your home group.
4. Request to join that group.
