You don’t need tech in the classroom. What’s the problem? You’ve been motivating students for years. Chalk and talk, that’s all you need. Until you’re suddenly forced to work with a bunch of iPads. Now what? This happened to the presenters, Kayvon Havaei-Ahary and Jason Demsteader, and it could happen to you. Havaei-Ahary and Demsteader came to future-proof Gunma JALT members against just such an occurrence. Through their experiences they discovered, and subsequently shared with attendees, how choosing the right strategy can better prepare a teacher for life with tech in the classroom. Havaei-Ahary and Demsteader shared their experiences of getting started with Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) and explained how they adopted an approach based on UX design.
