+ Students have to think explicitly on what is a good paper > more retention

− Individual work on a collaborative assignment

Specifics of paper dealing with corpus analysis

Peer feedback

GradePeer

My findings

+ Time, place and pace independent

+ Very user friendly system

+ Individual feedback for students

+ By grading another student, students get more insight in their own answers.

− Limited options in the system

TPACK – the game

Make a list of possible technologies and discuss a realistic example of an activity you could use in your teaching.

Technology:…………..? Pedagogy: discussion Content: media literacy (“mediawijsheid”)

My advice?

Use TPACK

to find out about which elements of the model you already know a lot, and on which elements you can still improve;

to set personal learning objectives and to make conscious decisions on the integration of technology in your teaching.
