Shaunwilden 2015-04-22T20:04:22 gosh is it a full house of moderators?  #eltchat
KateLloyd05 2015-04-22T20:04:29 @HanaHainsworth welcome #eltchat
angelos_bollas 2015-04-22T20:04:39 @HanaHainsworth So excited to see you here! :-D #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2015-04-22T20:04:55 @Shaunwilden seems like it #eltchat
HadaLitim 2015-04-22T20:04:56 @Shaunwilden Loavlay! #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-04-22T20:05:02 So more paper light lessons - #eltchat - you can start even BEFORE your go to class! How about your prep? What tools?
Shaunwilden 2015-04-22T20:05:23 @Marisa_C hammer, chisel, few nails  #eltchat
angelos_bollas 2015-04-22T20:05:36 @Shaunwilden lol @Marisa_C  #ELTchat
theteacherjames 2015-04-22T20:05:37 @Shaunwilden that’s a rarity! #ELTchat
alahiemr 2015-04-22T20:05:42 It is quite impossible to have a paperless classroom since my students prefer to have their copies of the lessons #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-04-22T20:05:53 @Marisa_C Does using a coursebook help? #ELTChat. No photocopies, and you can use the pics to go off-piste
Marisa_C 2015-04-22T20:06:11 A full house of moderators!!!! Wow!!! #eltchat more chiefs than Indians!!! :-D #eltchat
HadaLitim 2015-04-22T20:06:37 @Marisa_C Mental notes from in and out  of the classroom and my tools in my satchel! #eltchat
angelos_bollas 2015-04-22T20:06:40 @Marisa_C Notes on iPad or even Office on iPad #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2015-04-22T20:06:52 @alahiemr what do u mean 'copies of their lessons?" #eltchat
tattoodaisy 2015-04-22T20:06:53 Hi all. My students take pics of my board which cuts down on photocopies #ELTchat
Shaunwilden 2015-04-22T20:07:00 RT @tattoodaisy: Hi all. My students take pics of my board which cuts down on photocopies #ELTchat
bealer81 2015-04-22T20:07:09 PowerPoint, scanning etc if you have the facilities. #eltchat
HadaLitim 2015-04-22T20:07:09 RT @SueAnnan: @Marisa_C Does using a coursebook help? #ELTChat. No photocopies, and you can use the pics to go off-piste
SueAnnan 2015-04-22T20:07:18 @tattoodaisy Yes. I'm seeing that more and more #eltchat
Shaunwilden 2015-04-22T20:07:19 @tattoodaisy do they go back and study from the photos though?  #eltchat
bealer81 2015-04-22T20:07:37 RT @tattoodaisy: Hi all. My students take pics of my board which cuts down on photocopies #ELTchat
kaurgibbons 2015-04-22T20:07:39 @Marisa_C paper-light lessons: encouraging teachers to not photocopy all the time. Using scanned documents is good #eltchat
alahiemr 2015-04-22T20:07:42 @Marisa_C  yes #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-04-22T20:07:47 @tattoodaisy great idea - not if u want them to learn to take notes but pics of screens may be the new note-taking skill! #eltchat
globalgrid 2015-04-22T20:07:49 RT @tattoodaisy: Hi all. My students take pics of my board which cuts down on photocopies #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2015-04-22T20:07:50 @tattoodaisy So do mine but I always make sure they copy the main info on their notebooks as HW #eltchat

tattoodaisy 2015-04-22T20:08:20 @Shaunwilden good question -they do if they know their teacher is likely to revisit topic #ELTchat
Shaunwilden 2015-04-22T20:08:21 @HadaLitim @tattoodaisy Why?  #eltchat
bealer81 2015-04-22T20:08:26 Edmonds is a good place to share documents just for your class. #eltchat
kaurgibbons 2015-04-22T20:08:34 @Marisa_C @tattoodaisy Pictures of boards is good. But then I want to see later in the week how they've made notes from the pics #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-04-22T20:08:46 So we obviously need  a data projector or IWB - no? #eltchat
sandymillin 2015-04-22T20:08:49 RT @juliacphang: New blog post http://t.co/tfzGHVIRXk - first #IATEFL summary about #EAP with low-level learners. #EFL #ELT #ELTchat
theteacherjames 2015-04-22T20:09:00 A paperless classroom is only possible if you’ve got a realistic alternative, and not everyone has. #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2015-04-22T20:09:16 @theteacherjames good point #eltchat
Shaunwilden 2015-04-22T20:09:19 @tattoodaisy And thats the important thing be it photos or copies  :-)  #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2015-04-22T20:09:23 @Shaunwilden @tattoodaisy So they keep a record of eg lexis #eltchat
bealer81 2015-04-22T20:09:32 I meant edmodo #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-04-22T20:09:35 @bealer81 i like that idea - a social network for the Ss is a great place to share digital content #eltchat
angelos_bollas 2015-04-22T20:09:41 @kaurgibbons Why do they have to make notes from pics? Aren't pics good enough? @Marisa_C @tattoodaisy #eltchat
harrisonmike 2015-04-22T20:09:58 @Marisa_C used to put together minimal Keynote presentations with #eltpics on my phone on the bus #eltchat
Shaunwilden 2015-04-22T20:09:59 @HadaLitim @tattoodaisy Yeah but the photo is the record I dont see the need to make them copy it, I certainly wouldn’t ;-)  #eltchat
tattoodaisy 2015-04-22T20:10:01 use your students as the resource -my writing class today was paperless #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2015-04-22T20:10:04 @theteacherjames can you give us some examples pls? #eltchat
angelos_bollas 2015-04-22T20:10:14 @Marisa_C I use FB groups with all of them. @bealer81 #eltchat
kaurgibbons 2015-04-22T20:10:27 @Shaunwilden Absolutely need to show evidence of how they've used the pics of boardwork. #eltchat
tattoodaisy 2015-04-22T20:10:34 I don't get students to copy picture -their phones are becoming notebooks #ELTchat
bealer81 2015-04-22T20:10:57 RT @angelos_bollas: @Marisa_C I use FB groups with all of them. @bealer81 #eltchat
alahiemr 2015-04-22T20:11:08 One of the techniques is using story telling with vidoe to watch after some events and asking Ss to anticipate #eltchat
harrisonmike 2015-04-22T20:11:11 @Marisa_C it is me. Split Twitter identity disorder! #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-04-22T20:11:13 lots of my sts use things like evernote to save their stuff too. #eltchat
kaurgibbons 2015-04-22T20:11:14 @SueAnnan Yep!  I'm infamous for it in my work places.  I always explain to new students why. #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-04-22T20:11:26 @angelos_bollas for me they are - is what i said the new notetaking skill #eltchat
HadaLitim 2015-04-22T20:11:32 @Shaunwilden @tattoodaisy How often do they go back to the pics? I often insist they don't just copy - sieve thru the info/organise #eltchat
ELTchat 2015-04-22T20:11:34 RT @SueAnnan: lots of my sts use things like evernote to save their stuff too. #eltchat
Shaunwilden 2015-04-22T20:11:43 RT @harrisonmike: @Marisa_C it is me. Split Twitter identity disorder! #eltchat sounds painful
tattoodaisy 2015-04-22T20:12:24 Set tasks using pics -so use them to make weekly quiz #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2015-04-22T20:12:33 Evernote is great! So is Google Docs - SS can compare notes/pics #eltchat  https://t.co/Ye4T8zBiv8
SyedaJavaid 2015-04-22T20:12:34 @Marisa_C @tattoodaisy its actually a better way I guess, less time consuming and efficient #eltchat
Nafooh1988 2015-04-22T20:12:44 Doceri is a nice app for ipad works as interactive web board #eltchat
HadaLitim 2015-04-22T20:12:49 @Marisa_C @angelos_bollas In some case when developing learner skills, it helps to ask them to sum up the pics #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2015-04-22T20:13:09 RT @angelos_bollas: Evernote is great! So is Google Docs - SS can compare notes/pics #eltchat  https://t.co/Ye4T8zBiv8
Marisa_C 2015-04-22T20:13:16 @Nafooh1988 thanks will check Doceri out #eltchat
Shaunwilden 2015-04-22T20:13:16 @Nafooh1988  It costs money for license though doesnt it?  #eltchat
angelos_bollas 2015-04-22T20:13:37 @HadaLitim As a summary writing skills task, yes. @Marisa_C #ELTchat
SyedaJavaid 2015-04-22T20:13:40 @theteacherjames it would be difficult for productive writing activities, paper is essential for it. #eltchat
tattoodaisy 2015-04-22T20:13:42 @HadaLitim You could ask students to sum up different days and share summaries with each other #ELTchat
mrsdkrebs 2015-04-22T20:14:04 Do you teach listening skills? Great webinar by Kevin McCaughey. http://t.co/4xTrAPmigA @elllotweet @StateDept #ESL #ELL #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-04-22T20:14:10 Notes is not all Ss want tho - how do u deal with stuff they need for activities? #eltchat
SyedaJavaid 2015-04-22T20:14:28 @Marisa_C @bealer81 i always make a whatsapp or facebook group where my students reflect and share classroom activties #eltchat
tattoodaisy 2015-04-22T20:14:31 @SyedaJavaid but we can do paperlight rather than paperless #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2015-04-22T20:14:40 Do  you think completely paperless is a good thing? I like a bit of paper in my classes #eltchat
Shaunwilden 2015-04-22T20:14:47 RT @SyedaJavaid: it would be difficult for productive writing activities, paper is essential for it. #eltchat computer? tablet?
HadaLitim 2015-04-22T20:14:51 RT @Marisa_C: Do  you think completely paperless is a good thing? I like a bit of paper in my classes #eltchat
MarjorieRosenbe 2015-04-22T20:15:05 Are you chatting about not using any paper at all? #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-04-22T20:15:17 @Marisa_C I sometimes laminate stuff to re-use. It cuts down on photocopies too #eltchat
Shaunwilden 2015-04-22T20:15:21 @Marisa_C No I dont it would suggest too much emphasis placed on other tools  #eltchat
HanaHainsworth 2015-04-22T20:15:27 I think quite a lot depends on having the right technology at the school - what if ss don't have smart phones/ tablets? #eltchat
ELTchat 2015-04-22T20:15:31 @MarjorieRosenbe paper-light not paperless #eltchat hi Marjorie #eltchat
SyedaJavaid 2015-04-22T20:15:32 @tattoodaisy i agree #eltchat
HadaLitim 2015-04-22T20:15:47 @MarjorieRosenbe Hi Marjorie - I think it's abt paper-light rather than -less #eltchat
angelos_bollas 2015-04-22T20:15:56 @kaurgibbons IMO note taking is very personal - I wouldn't want my T to ask me to 'translate' pics in notes @Marisa_C @tattoodaisy #eltchat
alahiemr 2015-04-22T20:16:03 @SyedaJavaid @theteacherjames maybe if students are equiped with technology tools such as computers this can be done electronically #eltchat
theteacherjames 2015-04-22T20:16:04 @HadaLitim it’s difficult for me, I don’t have much tech available. I use what’s app to send pics & texts to my students in class.  #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2015-04-22T20:16:17 RT @SueAnnan: @Marisa_C I sometimes laminate stuff to re-use. It cuts down on photocopies too #eltchat
angelos_bollas 2015-04-22T20:16:26 RT @HanaHainsworth: I think quite a lot depends on having the right technology at the school - what if ss don't have smart phones/ tablets?…
kaurgibbons 2015-04-22T20:16:39 @tattoodaisy @SyedaJavaid Most definitely. Paper-light is about taking away the unnecessary worksheets that often occur in class. #eltchat
HadaLitim 2015-04-22T20:16:41 @HanaHainsworth I've had great paperless lessons in the playground in a college where I taught for a semester #eltchat
KateLloyd05 2015-04-22T20:16:48 @Marisa_C i think paper can make it more student centred. All on board makes focus front of room. #eltchat
juliacphang 2015-04-22T20:16:52 @stella_maris05 Hi Stella and welcome! #eltchat
StudyBundles 2015-04-22T20:16:53 @HanaHainsworth how about using show me boards? #eltchat
MarjorieRosenbe 2015-04-22T20:17:02 @SueAnnan @Marisa_C I laminate loads of stuff to use it over and over. #eltchat
HadaLitim 2015-04-22T20:17:22 @theteacherjames I do too and links to articles I want them to read before class + app ideas etc  #eltchat
tattoodaisy 2015-04-22T20:17:29 @KateLloyd05 It depens who's writing on the board #ELTchat
alahiemr 2015-04-22T20:17:32 @Marisa_C I totally agree #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-04-22T20:17:37 @MarjorieRosenbe I used to and have load of pic collections which I really like yes #eltchat
Shaunwilden 2015-04-22T20:17:38 @StudyBundles @HanaHainsworth are they like mini whiteboards?  #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2015-04-22T20:17:48 @MarjorieRosenbe @Marisa_C yes. It is great for card games and stuff ike that too #eltchat

MarjorieRosenbe 2015-04-22T20:18:05 @ELTchat Good to hear. Can't imagine not having any paper at all. #eltchat
angelos_bollas 2015-04-22T20:18:08 Agree! Some paper is nice #ELTchat https://t.co/9TehTcKUf9
HadaLitim 2015-04-22T20:18:15 @Marisa_C @theteacherjames yes it makes for great group work and lots of instant/spontaneous potential #eltchat
KateLloyd05 2015-04-22T20:18:30 @tattoodaisy yes, true. #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-04-22T20:18:40 I think some of our learners do enjoy the 'hands-on' contact with paper or card - esp YLs #eltchat
muranava 2015-04-22T20:18:42 #eltchat have cut down on photocopying by dictating  & using #piratebox
angelos_bollas 2015-04-22T20:18:57 RT @HadaLitim: @Marisa_C @theteacherjames yes it makes for great group work and lots of instant/spontaneous potential #eltchat
HadaLitim 2015-04-22T20:19:12 @SueAnnan @Marisa_C I used to as well until we had to share it in the staffroom and it all went walkies so I stopped #eltchat.
KateLloyd05 2015-04-22T20:19:12 @theteacherjames @HadaLitim u have wifi in classrooms then? #eltchat
juliacphang 2015-04-22T20:19:13 The fact that I teach on Skype a lot means my lessons are quite paperless! I still print things out for my reference though. #eltchat
MarjorieRosenbe 2015-04-22T20:19:21 My sts like paper for some things. I need it to learn as well. #eltchat
kaurgibbons 2015-04-22T20:19:26 Makes for an environmentally conscious teacher #eltchat #paperlight https://t.co/PS5hfrlm2i
KateLloyd05 2015-04-22T20:19:31 @kaurgibbons @tattoodaisy @SyedaJavaid the trick can be using worksheet more effectively #eltchat
Shaunwilden 2015-04-22T20:19:32 @SyedaJavaid and whats the problems with that? Surely self-checking is a good thing?  #eltchat
tattoodaisy 2015-04-22T20:19:49 It is possible to do a whole lesson based on one reading text #ELTchat
juliacphang 2015-04-22T20:19:53 @MarjorieRosenbe @SueAnnan Me too - makes the materials last longer and looks good, as well as cutting down on paper! #eltchat
ESLlibrary 2015-04-22T20:19:54 @muranava Sounds interesting. What's that? #eltchat
theteacherjames 2015-04-22T20:20:05 @SyedaJavaid Agreed, I do love students to have notebooks for this reason  #ELTchat
Nafooh1988 2015-04-22T20:20:12 @Marisa_C it is always better to combine both types of material to address various interests in your class #eltchat
angelos_bollas 2015-04-22T20:20:13 RT @Shaunwilden: @SyedaJavaid and whats the problems with that? Surely self-checking is a good thing?  #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-04-22T20:20:16 @juliacphang good point - a lot depends on the class context and tech available #eltchat
StudyBundles 2015-04-22T20:20:18 @Shaunwilden @HanaHainsworth yeah exactly, useful for quick show of answers, also for writing, easily shared and edited after #eltchat
HadaLitim 2015-04-22T20:20:18 @KateLloyd05 @theteacherjames Yes but it can work without too #eltchat. 1) Ask Ss to research a topic and snapshots then (1/2) #eltchat
kaurgibbons 2015-04-22T20:20:25 @KateLloyd05 @tattoodaisy @SyedaJavaid But why do I so often see photocopies of lists of words?  Why is that necessary? #eltchat

SueAnnan 2015-04-22T20:20:52 We give our students vocab books at the start of their course so they can record new words #ELTChat
HadaLitim 2015-04-22T20:20:55 @KateLloyd05 @theteacherjames 2) Then in groups go through the snaps shots and prepare content for their writing (2/2) #eltchat
kaurgibbons 2015-04-22T20:21:11 @tattoodaisy I do this on a regular basis. Students produce questions of different sections for each other Make it a competition. #eltchat
KateLloyd05 2015-04-22T20:21:19 @kaurgibbons @tattoodaisy @SyedaJavaid of course because handing them a list of words means they learned it ;0) #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-04-22T20:21:25 @Nafooh1988 fully agree - hate extremes and some of the lessons i have most enjoyed teaching & my ss remember involve paper & pics #eltchat
tattoodaisy 2015-04-22T20:21:25 @kaurgibbons @KateLloyd05 @SyedaJavaid It really isn't. The students lose out by not recording words themselves #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2015-04-22T20:21:31 @SueAnnan I ask them to use Quizlet for that - not very excited at first! They love it now, though. #eltchat

theteacherjames 2015-04-22T20:22:54 @KateLloyd05 @HadaLitim Yes, but it’s a bit flakey. Sts use their 3g connections  #ELTchat

kaurgibbons 2015-04-22T20:46:44 @juliacphang It was really hard work. But fulfilling. Reducing paper meant Ts teaching was changing to S-centred. #eltchat #paperlight
joannacre 2015-04-22T20:46:47 Good thing about online teaching-no paper- just screenshots #eltchat
angelos_bollas 2015-04-22T20:46:59 @theteacherjames We all need training on how to cope with tech tho. @harrisonmike #eltchat
studiomentals 2015-04-22T20:47:03 The goal is not to go paperlight or even paperless but to make sure the knowledge is transferred from the handout to the head #eltchat
harrisonmike 2015-04-22T20:47:05 @SueAnnan @angelos_bollas @MigueCorDi of course how appropriate they are depends on your students #eltchat
KateLloyd05 2015-04-22T20:47:06 @Marisa_C I miss tech for this reason. One set of colour pics on screen vs. one sheet of black and white blur per 3 ss #eltchat

tattoodaisy 2015-04-22T20:48:02 @theteacherjames @sandymillin did a jounal post about students buying their own journals. I love my notebook #ELTchat
harrisonmike 2015-04-22T20:48:07 @angelos_bollas @theteacherjames true but I think we can rush to it when the alternative (pen, paper) is simple & quick #eltchat
SueAnnan 2015-04-22T20:48:20 @angelos_bollas @MigueCorDi @Shaunwilden No. They can be a great starting point for a lesson #eltchat
angelos_bollas 2015-04-22T20:48:25 @harrisonmike Agree! #ELTchat @theteacherjames

angelos_bollas 2015-04-22T20:48:44 Right! #ELTchat https://t.co/qc8SZe7fIr
HadaLitim 2015-04-22T20:49:16 @harrisonmike @angelos_bollas @theteacherjames Both tools are useful. I don't think one can dismiss either pen/paper or tech #eltchat
KateLloyd05 2015-04-22T20:49:17 @MigueCorDi @angelos_bollas but it's tedious to just teach from a book.need to personalise/separate activities #eltchat
joannacre 2015-04-22T20:49:26 @Marisa_C @Sunny_EvaS It was it was :) #eltchat
FelicityParry 2015-04-22T20:49:44 I find students can lay out their notes in exactly the way they want to if it's on paper, which will inevitably help with recall. #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2015-04-22T20:50:12 @KateLloyd05 @MigueCorDi @angelos_bollas only bad/ disinterested teachers use books slavishly. #eltchat
studiomentals 2015-04-22T20:50:16 I'd sacrifice any amount of trees if that meant the knowledge is learnt. #eltchat

tattoodaisy 2015-04-22T20:54:11 @HanaHainsworth That's where paperlight can help, students write things down instead of being given handouts #ELTchat
juliacphang 2015-04-22T20:54:15 @HadaLitim @HanaHainsworth CAE etc can now be taken on a computer, wonder if/when IELTS will follow? #eltchat

IsmarAlabedi 2015-04-22T20:54:25 @Marisa_C certainly, but in some areas (UK, South Korea)it is becoming a regular feature in the classroom. #eltchat

theteacherjames 2015-04-22T21:01:32 For me the best way to go ‘paperless’ is to reduce pointless handouts, increase notetaking & sensible digital alternatives. #ELTchat
