Experimentations 2 - 2019

On that year, pre-and in service teachers were asked to create a multimedia collage of their becoming in CALL throughout this session as a way to disturb current representations of the connections between technology, language, and education.  To do so, they had to pick at least two of the following elements to map the ways they contributed to their transformations in CALL during this session: Intensity, resonance, their body, order, logic, speed, language, disruptions, boundaries, codes, interconnectivity, unpredictability, ambiguity, power, entanglements, or any other unexpected elements not listed here. 

When browsing the collages, you may want to think about the ways the connections at play may have amplified or reduced the capacity of language and technology to change and be changed.

Feel free to share your thoughts and your stories

When creating my collage I chose a car emoji as my icon, because cars facilitate travel and it symbolises my journey in Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL).   The project is essentially a reflection of my understanding of technology  in the teaching/learning process prior to learning more about CALL and how my understanding and appreciation of CALL changed as my knowledge of it grew.  
The first stage is titled "Before My Journey in CALL" and reflects how I viewed technology as a teaching tool before my study of CALL.  The second stage is titled "My Journey" and reflects how my understanding and attitude changed as I learned more about CALL.  The third stage is titled "My Current Position" and reflects my current level of awareness, appreciation and understanding of CALL.  The last stage of my journey is titled "Going Forward" and reflects developments and possibilities of CALL in the future.
The background of the collage is a picture of a beach where sea meets sand.  It represents the vast sea of knowledge and possibilities that exist in relation to CALL. The part of the sea where the water meets the sand symbolises constant change as the sea is always washing away footprints in much the same way technology is always changing and new paradigms are being established.
