Kiddle Word Cloud

In Thom Kiddle's text, "Developing Language Learning Materials," he deals with the use of technology in the classroom today.  Based on this, I created the word cloud above including what I think are the most important key concepts:

The three phases the use of digital technology went through with the passing of time
Restricted
Open
Integrated  (web 3.0)

Concepts which came together with the integrated phase, like interaction, sharing, intelligent web (which is one that knows the profile of the user).

The social skills of the 21st century:
Play
Performance
Simulation
Appropriation
Multitasking
Collective intelligence
Transmedia navegation
Networking
Negotiation

The three phases students go through with the use of digital material:
Infusion (where learners are passive)
Integration (where they are a bit more active)
Transformation (where they are centrally involved)

Isolated important concepts

The BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) movement, which consists in bringing any technological device to school, from an mp3 player to an iphone 6.  This is a great movement considering the fact that students may have very different economic-situations and so may have devices of all kinds.

*The concept of Flipped Classroom, where the learning and studying takes place at home and the actual classroom is only used for doubts or questions.  I think this works well with responsable students, who are willing to and able to work on their own.

*The Networked Teacher, which is a label given to a teacher who also has digital competence.  I hope to become one in the future.

*Materials vs. Tools (which does not necessarily imply something intentionally made to be used for educational purposes)

*Multimodality (or multiple modes of representation, like images, videos, texts), Orchestration (teacher's shaping to encourage participation), and Participation are key for learning to actually take place
