Event Description
Come to Scarfe Foyer at lunchtime on September 30th to see this month’s Technology in Transit showcase, which features Duolingo!
Duolingo is a science-based language education platform that enables users to learn multiple languages, from Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Irish, Danish, Swedish, or English in a fast, fun, and free way. The application offers amazing opportunities to teachers, educators and students, allowing them to support classroom learning with bite-sized lessons where they can answer multiple-choice questions, speak translations into a microphone, and type in phrases in a structured tree of learning. In addition to its website, it can be accessed as a language-learning app on Android phones and iPhones!
At Educational Technology Support, one of our key goals is to raise technology awareness and demonstrate the various applications of technology in teaching and learning. On the second Wednesday of every month, Educational Technology Support (ETS) hosts Technology in Transit. Technology in Transit provides a space for Teacher Candidates and graduate students to display the different technologies that they have been actively using in their courses. The one-hour session offers passers-by the chance to observe and engage with educational technology as they walk through Scarfe Foyer during their lunch break.
