2:01 pm ShellTerrell: Welcome to #ELTChat Topic: Can online language teaching replace classroom instruction? Will it? Do we want it to?
2:01 pm InglesInteract: I will keep up, try to take part at #ELTchat too
2:01 pm rliberni: For the next hour my tweets will be dedicated to #eltchat
2:01 pm Marisa_C: Can online teaching replace classroom instruction? Will it and do we want it to? How do you feel abt this ?#ELTChat
2:02 pm Marisa_C: Hello? #:ELTchattters! #ELTchat
2:02 pm englishraven: Yes, it can. Yes, it probably will - depending on context. #ELTChat
2:03 pm Shaunwilden: I don't think it will (well not for sometime) and I am not sure i want to #ELTchat
2:03 pm Marisa_C: RT @englishraven: Yes, it can. Yes, it probably will - depending on context. #ELTChat Here is Jason's opening move!
2:03 pm cecilialcoelho: Does online teaching have to REPLACE classroom instruction? #ELTChat
2:03 pm olafelch: When we are talking about online teaching, are we talking about synchronous teaching or asynchronous teaching? #ELTchat
2:03 pm bcnpaul1: #ELTChat I really love the face to face contact with teaching & thionk sts get a lot from it
2:03 pm janetbianchini: #ELTChat I think there will always be a place for classroom instruction - for the truly personal face2face element which is important
2:03 pm InglesInteract: @ShellTerrell #ELTchat Maybe it will in the future, in fact we already have many tools to use with out std's
2:03 pm hoprea: It can replace lots of things that we do in the classroom, but I don't think it can replace everything. #eltchat
2:04 pm Marisa_C: RT @cecilialcoelho: Does online teaching have to REPLACE classroom instruction? #ELTChat - No, it doesn't
2:04 pm englishraven: RT @bcnpaul1: really love the face-to-face side of teaching & think sts get a lot from it -> Online increasingly catering to f2f? #ELTChat
2:04 pm Shaunwilden: RT @bcnpaul1: #I really love the face-to-face side of teaching & think sts get a lot from it - i agree many sts like the contact #ELTchat
2:04 pm esolcourses: RT @janetbianchini: #ELTChat I think there will always be a place for classroom instruction - for the truly personal face2face element which is important
2:04 pm bcnpaul1: #ELTChat I think students will always want face2face
2:04 pm janetbianchini: #ELTChat A mixture of both eg blended learning is what I would prefer
2:04 pm ShellTerrell: I prefer a blend of online & face to face instruction. In my experience, Ss of all ages are motivated by online learning #eltchat
2:04 pm bcnpaul1: #ELTChat a lot depends on situation
2:04 pm olafelch: @englishraven What sort of timescale are you thinking of? #ELTchat
2:04 pm Marisa_C: RT @techmunoz: I think it's possible. My students love the screencasts I make 4 instruction. #ELTchat
2:04 pm ShellTerrell: I agree! RT @Shaunwilden: I don't think it will (well not for sometime) and I am not sure i want to #ELTchat
2:05 pm Marisa_C: RT @techmunoz They prefer that over hearing me talk 2 whole class. #ELTchat
2:05 pm InglesInteract: @ShellTerrell but I also agree with @bcnpaul1 #ELTchat
2:05 pm englishraven: RT @olafelch: talking about online teaching, talking about synchronous teaching or asynchronous? /-> Both possible/feasible #ELTchat
2:05 pm hoprea: Online is very effective in many regards, but I still feel there's something missing - affective side of teaching. #eltchat
2:05 pm cecilialcoelho: @englishraven Yes, there's f2f online Jason, but not the same thing #ELTChat
2:05 pm ShellTerrell: RT @janetbianchini: #ELTChat I think there will always be a place for classrm instruction- 4 the truly personal f2f elemt which is important
2:05 pm ShellTerrell: RT @bcnpaul1: #ELTChat I really love the face to face contact with teaching & thionk sts get a lot from it

2:05 pm esolcourses: RT @ShellTerrell: I prefer a blend of online & face to face instruction. In my experience, Ss of all ages are motivated by online learning #eltchat
2:05 pm robletcher: @Marisa_C The thousands of online teachers I've trained would answer a resounding "Yes...but..." Depends on student & situation #ELTChat
2:05 pm englishraven: @olafelch I think it has already started in certain sectors of ELT. #ELTChat
2:06 pm Shaunwilden: I think f2f and online complement each other rather than being replacements for each other #ELTchat
2:06 pm olafelch: @Marisa_C Agreed - it doesn't have to, but are we missing an opportunity if we don't tak it up? #ELTchat
2:06 pm bcnpaul1: #ELTChat it's very convenient for sts who want IELTS for example and don't have the time to go to classes
2:06 pm rliberni: I think for some ppl it is best/only option there has to be choice #ELTchat #eltchat
2:06 pm Marisa_C: I think this question is quite commonly asked by teachers who are a tad technophobic #eltchat
2:06 pm rliberni: RT @bcnpaul1: #ELTChat it's very convenient for sts who want IELTS for example and don't have the time to go to classes #eltchat
2:06 pm gret: I agree I think both students and teachers will always want some face to face interaction. I prefer a blended program #ELTchat
2:06 pm hoprea: RT @ShellTerrell: I prefer a blend of online & face to face instruction. <- I think this is what is likely to happen. #eltchat
2:06 pm Shaunwilden: RT @englishraven: @olafelch I think it has already started in certain sectors of ELT. #ELTChat Such as?
2:06 pm englishraven: RT @cecilialcoelho: Yes, there's f2f online Jason, but not the same thing -> Right, but with advs as well as disadvs! #ELTChat
2:06 pm evab2001: online teacching will surely be an option but I'm not sure it will replace the real interaction #eltchat
2:06 pm Marisa_C: RT @rliberni: I think for some ppl it is best/only option there has to be choice #ELTchat #eltchat
2:07 pm olafelch: @englishraven sorry, what I meant was whether you see a timeframe for it replacing f2f teaching. #ELTChat
2:07 pm ShellTerrell: Language teaching is social, it requires communication w/in various contexts. We need to make sure the tech we use supports this #ELTChat
2:07 pm cecilialcoelho: @hoprea I agree w/ u on this... I think the affective side of teaching is easier to happen in person... online still "cold" #ELTChat
2:07 pm rliberni: RT @Shaunwilden: I think f2f and online complement each other rather than being replacements for each other #ELTchat #eltchat
2:07 pm japglish: Also wonder that with new multi participant video calling (Skype) how long before students prefer this as an option. It IS f2f!! #eltchat
2:07 pm cerirhiannon: RT @cerirhiannon: can it? yes, probably, do we want it to is a far thornier question #ELTchat
2:07 pm Marisa_C: RT @Shaunwilden: I think f2f and online complement each other rather than being replacements for each other #ELTchat - Absolutely right!
2:07 pm ShellTerrell: It should RT @Shaunwilden: I think f2f and online complement each other rather than being replacements for each other #ELTchat
2:07 pm englishraven: RT @bcnpaul1: #ELTChat it's very convenient for sts who want IELTS for example and don't have the time to go to classes -> Exactly!
2:07 pm evab2001: RT @Shaunwilden I think f2f and online complement each other rather than being replacements for each other #ELTchat
2:07 pm nickkiley: I think that without knowing how tech will develop, we can't say, but it will need significant development to replace classrooms #ELTchat
2:07 pm janetbianchini: #ELTChat RT @Shaunwilden I think f2f and online complement each other rather than being replacements for each other -totally agree, Shaun
2:07 pm meggoos: Which sections? I teach elementary aged students, am interested to hear about adults, teens. #ELTChat
2:07 pm cerirhiannon: RT @Marisa_C: RT @rliberni: I think for some ppl it is best/only option there has to be choice #ELTchat #eltchat
2:07 pm ShellTerrell: RT @japglish: wonder w new multi participant video calling (Skype) how long before students prefer this as an option. It IS f2f!! #eltchat
2:07 pm kalinagoenglish: RT @hoprea: Online is very effective in many regards, but feel there's something missing - affective side of teaching. #eltchat agree!
2:08 pm hoprea: People like the interaction they have when they go to classes. All the gossip and others... #eltchat
2:08 pm olafelch: @Shaunwilden I do some of my #BusEng teaching via Skype and #dimdim. The customers seem to like it. #ELTChat
2:08 pm rliberni: @ShellTerrell can't social and f2f be online? #eltchat
2:08 pm click4biology: @Shaunwilden for sure, a blended approach everytime #ELTChat
2:08 pm japglish: Would rather complete a Masters via Skype than having to go to the campus. #eltchat
2:08 pm bcnpaul1: #ELTChat with online teaching a lot depends on how motivated sts are surely
2:08 pm Shaunwilden: RT @nickkiley: I think that without knowing how tech will develop, we can't say, but it will need significant development to replace classrooms #ELTchat
2:08 pm ShellTerrell: @japglish That is so true that F2F is now becoming part of many tools. Even new IPhone, Ipod, mobile devices w this feature #ELTChat
2:08 pm kalinagoenglish: RT @Shaunwilden: I think f2f and online complement each other rather than being replacements for each other #ELTchat >>agree
2:08 pm pelekas: #ELTchat I think there will always be room for f2f communication. Automated telephone systems are annoying when you want the human touch
2:08 pm ShellTerrell: RT @hoprea: People like the interaction they have when they go to classes. All the gossip and others... #eltchat
2:08 pm Marisa_C: RT @ShellTerrell: Language teaching social, requires communication w/in various contexts. need to make sure tech used supports this #ELTChat

2:08 pm rliberni: @meggoos I tch mostly adults & for many they can't attend classes (for many reasons) online wks 4 them #eltchat
2:08 pm kalinagoenglish: RT @Marisa_C: I think this question is quite commonly asked by teachers who are a tad technophobic #eltchat agree :))
2:08 pm ShellTerrell: RT @meggoos: Which sections? I teach elementary aged students, am interested to hear about adults, teens. #ELTChat
2:09 pm cerirhiannon: RT @cecilialcoelho: @hoprea ... online still "cold" #ELTChat > doesn't have to be - look at us on Twitter
2:09 pm bcnpaul1: RT @Shaunwilden: I think f2f and online complement each other rather than being replacements for each other #ELTchat
2:09 pm hoprea: It all depends on how motivated you are and what your objectives are. #eltchat
2:09 pm rliberni: RT @ShellTerrell: RT @olafelch: I do some of my #BusEng teaching via Skype and #dimdim. The customers seem to like it. #ELTChat #eltchat
2:09 pm japglish: What's missing are video based good tools for multi participant web-teaching #eltchat
2:09 pm englishraven: To me it's a more a matter of access rather than preference. #ELTChat
2:09 pm ShellTerrell: RT @nickkiley: I think w/o knowing how tech will develop we can't say, but it will need significant developmt to replace classrooms #ELTchat
2:09 pm olafelch: @englishraven I think asynchronous teaching (eg. #moodle) is already well-established. The challenge is effective live teaching. #ELTchat
2:09 pm cecilialcoelho: RT @bcnpaul1: #ELTChat with online teaching a lot depends on how motivated sts are surely -> I don't think it's very diff from f2f
2:09 pm rliberni: RT @hoprea: It all depends on how motivated you are and what your objectives are. Yes this is the key thing! #eltchat
2:09 pm bcnpaul1: #ELTChat what would be the benefits of only teaching online when f2f was a possibility?
2:10 pm cerirhiannon: RT @rliberni: @meggoos I tch mostly adults & for many they can't attend classes (for many reasons) online wks 4 them #eltchat
2:10 pm hoprea: @cerirhiannon Doesn't have to be, but it depends on your objectives. Would all students be that eager? #eltchat
2:10 pm olafelch: RT @englishraven: To me it's a more a matter of access rather than preference. #ELTChat
2:10 pm evab2001: RT @ShellTerrell: RT @nickkiley: I think w/o knowing how tech will develop we can't say, but it will need significant developmt to replace classrooms #ELTchat
2:10 pm janetbianchini: RT @hoprea People like the interaction they have when they go to classes. All the gossip and others... #eltchat Yes!
2:10 pm Marisa_C: RT @japglish: What's missing are video based good tools for multi participant web-teaching #eltchat - agree - the MULTIER the better
2:10 pm rliberni: @olafelch there is a lot of bad e-learning around too #eltchat
2:10 pm Shaunwilden: @englishraven Thanks, yes I can see it working for specific courses but then lots of sts like the meeting in the classroom #ELTchat
2:10 pm robletcher: Next big thing:Hybrid schools-half online and half in-person. Better use of resources and time, allows for real-life experiences. #ELTchat
2:10 pm rliberni: RT @janetbianchini: RT @hoprea People like the interaction they have when they go to classes. All the gossip and others... #eltchat Yes!

2:10 pm meggoos: RT @meggoos: I am keen to know which sectors of ELT tweeps think online learning suits most....#ELTChat
2:11 pm rliberni: @janetbianchini I think gossip, chat etc.. is still all possible online #eltchat
2:11 pm olafelch: @cecilialcoelho This came up in #edchat yesterday. there's a whole new set of demands on the teacher and the learner. #ELTchat
2:11 pm englishraven: I currently cater to 400+ online learners who can't 'get' a f2f teacher or classroom... #ELTChat
2:11 pm ShellTerrell: Yes! Can we name some gr8 tools we use that do? RT @rliberni: can't social and f2f be online? #eltchat
2:11 pm cerirhiannon: @hoprea not saying it works for all, but it definitely works for some - and for some might be the easiest/most accessible option? #ELTchat
2:11 pm robletcher: @Marisa_C We use and love Elluminate for muti-participant web-teaching. #ELTchat
2:11 pm ShellTerrell: RT @meggoos: RT @meggoos: I am keen to know which sectors of ELT tweeps think online learning suits most....#ELTChat
2:11 pm japglish: Video classroom tools need the element of having quiet gossip with classmate while a class is ongoing 2 create complete soical exp. #eltchat
2:11 pm meggoos: @rliberni That's what I was thinking..any particular countries more interested in online learning... #eltchat
2:11 pm esolcourses: RT @robletcher: Next big thing:Hybrid schools-half online and half in-person. Better use of resources and time, allows for real-life experiences. #ELTchat

2:12 pm bcnpaul1: @englishraven do they feel that they are learning? #ELTChat
2:12 pm robletcher: @englishraven Good point - Students deserve a great teacher, even if none live in their area. #ELTchat
2:12 pm olafelch: @rliberni Can't you get the gossip from chat, twitter and forums? Or do you need more? ;o) #ELTchat
2:12 pm motherchina: #ELTchat still many students don't feel comfortable in online environments
2:12 pm rliberni: @meggoos think about teens they spend all day at aschool tgthr & all evenings & w/es online tgthr! #eltchat
2:12 pm evab2001: read the fun they had by Asimov #eltchat a sciencefiction of a future education system #eltchat
2:12 pm Shaunwilden: RT @robletcher: Next big thing:Hybrid schools-half online and half in-person. #ELTchat - my ex-school tried that but sts didnt want
2:12 pm meggoos: @englishraven which countries do your students represent? Curious? #ELTChat

2:13 pm cecilialcoelho: RT @englishraven: I currently cater to 400+ OL STs who can't 'get' a f2f T or clssrom... #ELTChat -> here's the access/option factor again!
2:13 pm japglish: @olafelch @rliberni gossip is important which is why video based teaching tools need facility - s2s interaction away from teachers #eltchat
2:13 pm robletcher: @olafelch I work completely remotely and my "back channel" is rich with gossip, jibes, etc. :-) #ELTchat
2:13 pm ShellTerrell: RT @japglish: Video class tools need elemt of having quiet gossip w classmate while a class is ongoing 2 create complete social exp #eltchat

2:16 pm janetbianchini: RT @englishraven: Online learning helps to solve the three greatest enemies of language learners: time, distance, cost. #ELTChat
2:16 pm japglish: Multi participant Skype linked with whiteboards and file transfer seems best #eltchat
2:16 pm rliberni: @ShellTerrell India is big, SE Asia (China not so in my exp.) many in Europe is less inclined I think - @englishraven? any ideas? #eltchat
2:16 pm japglish: RT @Marisa_C: @japglish As in breakout rooms ? #eltchat ... YUP exactly
2:16 pm efl101: does online teaching mean 121 or 12many or both? Do both work equally well? #eltchat
2:16 pm cerirhiannon: RT @bcnpaul1: RT @nickkiley: - we should get 15yr old input #ELTchat > depends which 15yr olds and where
2:17 pm rliberni: RT @japglish: Multi participant Skype linked with whiteboards and file transfer seems best #eltchat
2:17 pm esolcourses: Online learning also provides opportunities for students who have little or no F2F provision in the area where they live #eltchat
2:17 pm InglesInteract: @bcnpaul1 maybe it's matter of culture. What I can say from Brazil is that a few prefer online studies #ELTchat
2:17 pm olafelch: @bcnpaul1 It muight be an openness to technology, or it could just be lack of other opportunities. #ELTChat

2:35 pm ShellTerrell: Gr8 point! RT @bcnpaul1: #ELTChat As teens spend more time social netwking why not teach thru' social networking sites & other similar tools
2:36 pm Marisa_C: RT @Shaunwilden: Is the answer to that in the fact that most initial training centres on f2f learning? #ELTChat - Good point!

2:37 pm ShellTerrell: RT @SErwin: Just used a forum in Moodle today and participation was awesome. Have to set guidelines & expectaitons #ELTChat
2:37 pm hoprea: The moment teachers and parents start taking over social networking sites for teaching and monitoring, teens will move away. #eltchat
2:37 pm olafelch: @hoprea Agree completely, and all of those things require a skills set that is far from being self-explanatory. #eltchat
2:37 pm englishraven: RT @rliberni: RT @bcnpaul1: #ELTChat my tea's gone cold - sh!t Lol! #eltchat

2:39 pm ShellTerrell: RT @gregqbear: Yes, it would be the most authentic. Perhaps it would need some lead-time though. #eltchat
2:39 pm olafelch: @cerirhiannon I'm sure the use of social networking will become a major influence, but society has to adjust to it first. #ELTChat
2:39 pm rliberni: @japglish I think online still needs a lot of tchr input even if this is backroom #eltchat
2:39 pm ELTExperiences: @cecilialcoelho why not? #ELTchat

2:40 pm gret: RT @olafelch: @cerirhiannon I'm sure the use of social networking'll become a major influence but society has to adjust to it 1st #ELTchat
2:40 pm olafelch: @englishraven I might actually look for online first, but at some point I will want f2f. #ELTchat
2:40 pm gregqbear: @englishraven I prefer hiding among others in a class than sticking out like a goose one-on-one. #eltchat

2:42 pm JamesBaggesen: @englishraven #ELTChat ->online because time, cost, distance and choice of teacher
2:42 pm Marisa_C: RT @bcnpaul1: @japglish yes - there's much more scope for learner independence in online learning. thts why a blend is good #ELTChat

2:44 pm gret: @esolcourses I totally agree! Teaching with Tech Tools should be a part of Teacher Training Courses #ELTchat
2:44 pm rliberni: @olafelch yes and for stds to want to learn online there has to be a culture fostered within the c'room which includes the tchr!! #eltchat

2:46 pm olafelch: @bcnpaul1 That's the way i would do it, but have also heard the opposite - an online start helps to combat shyness. #ELTchat
2:47 pm japglish: CELTA and DELTA tutors tend to be very old school in my experience and see no value in online #eltchat
2:47 pm Shaunwilden: @englishraven And did you right the world? #eltchat

2:48 pm esolcourses: @Marisa_C then I would argue that they need to update their skills. CPD being what it is, and all that... @Shaunwilden #ELTChat
2:48 pm Marisa_C: @bcnpaul1 u d be surprised #ELTChat
2:48 pm englishraven: @japglish I don't think in terms of 'replicate' or 'surpass' - they are different modes, different learning universes... #ELTChat
