Shaunwilden | 9:03 PM | Evening all, if you're just joining us the topic is The future of teaching – is it only online teaching? #ELTchat |
Noreen_Lam | 9:03 PM | @shaunwilden Using hootsuite but lots of promoted Twitter Ads &not sure how to filter....#eltchat |
theteacherjames | 9:03 PM | @MarjorieRosenbe I agree. People like being in face to face groups, it's a social thing. #eltchat |

cgoodey | 9:04 PM | @Shaunwilden @esolcourses ;-) #ELTchat |
cgoodey | 9:04 PM | @theteacherjames @MarjorieRosenbe I agree too. The social face-to-face aspect is a great motivator for many ESOL learners. #eltchat |
Shaunwilden | 9:04 PM | @esolcourses Yes there is a danger that this #ELTchat is just no, ok next topic :-) |

stephenburrows | 9:06 PM | #eltchat I think there's a hell of lot of progress to be made in the classroom before we even consider the future is only online. |
Shaunwilden | 9:06 PM | @Noreen_Lam but you can do most of those things online as well in some way #ELTchat |

stephenburrows | 9:09 PM | #eltchat What's eltchat's verdict on blended learning, I hate the term but like the idea but have yet to witness it done well |
Noreen_Lam | 9:09 PM | @shaunwilden U can w/YLs on the comp, but no contact w/them. Can't swing them around2 dance, play run&touch games the same.... #eltchat |
MarjorieRosenbe | 9:09 PM | Am on train about to arrive back home so may have to suddenly dash. #eltchat |
Shaunwilden | 9:10 PM | @stephenburrows We've always blended though its nothing new just a different way to do it now #ELTchat |
theteacherjames | 9:10 PM | We can't be that confident about the future of anything related to lang learning all the time we don't know how it happens. #eltchat |
esolcourses | 9:10 PM | @theteacherjames @Shaunwilden ...even in contexts where tech isn't provided, m-learning is possible, for instance #eltchat |

Noreen_Lam | 9:11 PM | Online seems more BEng style for most part, right? Agree about social aspect--for Ss & T! #eltchat |

esolcourses | 9:16 PM | Worth bearing in mind that in some contexts, e-learning is not an option, & vice versa... for instance remote areas #eltchat |

theteacherjames | 9:19 PM | @KerrCarolyn Absolutely, I for one welcome our robot masters. #eltchat |
theteacherjames | 9:19 PM | @KerrCarolyn I think quieter, more reflective work suits online more. Less social pressure to 'interact'. #ELTchat |
Shaunwilden | 9:19 PM | @Marisa_C Intersting, as someone that trains teachers online I find I have that buzz #ELTchat |
shaznosel | 9:20 PM | @Wiktor_K Impossible in Greece, as most schools still don't have interactive boards and internet connections ..#eltchat |
theteacherjames | 9:20 PM | @singernick @MarjorieRosenbe @Marisa_C Yes, & let's not forget that in the future online learning will give greater accessibility. #eltchat |
jemjemgardner | 9:20 PM | But maybe that doesn't have to be missing? RT @Marisa_C: As a teacher/trainer I would miss the energy and buzz of teaching a group #ELTchat |
KerrCarolyn | 9:20 PM | @theteacherjames #Eltchat - Yes - and Ss being able to see their own corrections instantly. No loss of face. No feeling of judgement |
theteacherjames | 9:21 PM | @KerrCarolyn yes, yes and yes. All very attractive for some types of learners, I think. #Eltchat |
shaznosel | 9:21 PM | @KerrCarolyn @theteacherjames Yes! Would love tech to take over the tedious part of teachg but can every ss cope with that? #eltchat |
jemjemgardner | 9:21 PM | How many do you train online at a time? How do you find the buzz? @Shaunwilden: @Marisa_C #ELTchat |

Shaunwilden | 9:22 PM | @jemjemgardner usually groups of max 12, maybe its cos I am used to environ & try hard to create the buzz? #ELTchat I still love f2f though |
KerrCarolyn | 9:23 PM | @shaznosel @theteacherjames #ELTchat. I think helping them to learn to cope is the best part of the job!!!! |
shaznosel | 9:23 PM | @SueAnnan Guess that means we won't be replacing you with on-line teaching! Thank God! #eltchat |

Wiktor_K | 9:26 PM | Personally, I'm more xcited by how much more we know about learning & teaching now, than by new tech. This is the big change for me #eltchat |
shaznosel | 9:26 PM | @esolcourses Exactly my point - not just remote area but attitude plays a role..the changing face of the teacher is not everywhere #eltchat |
esolcourses | 9:27 PM | @shaznosel true. What I think might change though are expectations, i.e. people hiring teachers will come to expect tech skills #eltchat |
Shaunwilden | 9:27 PM | @Wiktor_K thats a good point, the sharing and accessibility of knowledge now is exciting #ELTchat |

shaznosel | 9:27 PM | @jemjemgardner Agree..learning styles play a role and for some f2f is essential #eltchat |
esolcourses | 9:28 PM | @shaznosel it's the same in most industries, really. Eventually teachers without tech skills may become less employable #eltchat |
