Designing social media & mobile tasks for action-based language learning

That was the the ambitious title of the workshop that Josh Underwood and I ran at the Bilbao, TESOL Spain conference. In fact it was a practical, hands on session where teachers tried out some class ideas that exploit mobile and social learning and then talked afterwards about what they thought about them. Their response was generally pretty positive, so here are the worksheets for you to look at and perhaps try out yourself:

• Using photos – making a task personally meaningful
• Pancakes – QR codes & listening, doing, sharing
• Pic-your-wits – games & vocabulary
• The next big app – project work

Here's the workshop slide presentation.
