About the Class

This presentation will explore networks as agents that have altered many of the assumptions held by traditional education. The core roles of institutions, curriculum, and educators are altered when control over conversations and information access shifts to learners. For many educators, this change is first reflected in innovative pedagogies (wall-less classrooms and global conversations) and personal professional development. However, the impact of emerging technologies and networks are much greater than only altering teaching. What will education look like when we shed the assumptions formed during the pre-digital era and adjust institutions to address needs of learners for a world of growing complexity and connectedness? GMT TIME: 20:00-22:00/VEN TIME: 3:30 PM/ ARG TIME: 5:00 PM E-moderators: Elvina Castillo - Evelyn Izquierdo-Teadira Pérez

Profile Summary

AVEALMEC ( Asociación Venezolana para la Enseñanza y Aprendizaje de Lenguas Mediados por el Computador) is an educational association which started as an idea on March 14th 2007 in a national forum entitled "What's next? The Future of English in Venezuela" at the British Council. During the concluding session, a group of teachers from different universities agreed on setting this association up (You can download the summary of this ELT forum in the 579 message in VENELT). Last year, AVEALMEC became an IATEFL Associate, taking another step forward to becoming a leading Association in Venezuela to promote the use of ICT in language teaching and learning.
