Telecollaborative Project

Our team for telecollaborative project is Pum (Cambodia), Nwe Nwe (Myanmar) and me, Indri (Indonesia).

The goal of the project is to improve participants’ competence in designing materials as well as integrating technology in language classroom.

The participants of this project are :

1.    Pre-service trainee teachers in Pum’s class at Provincial Teacher Training College in Cambodia

2.    University students in Nwe Nwe’s class at Yangon University of Education in Myanmar

3.    Participants in in-service teacher training in PPPPTK Bahasa Indonesia (Indri’s class)

Participants from Cambodia are primary trainee teachers and participants from Myanmar are senior assistant teachers while  participants from Indonesia are English teachers in Senior High School.

The activities in the project are

1.    Step 1 : Setting Facebook group as the social media for the participants to share information both pictures and files that will be used along the projects

2.    Step 2 : 1st teleconference using Hangout  as an introductory session

3.    Step 3 : the three facilitators from each country (Indri, Pum and Nwe Nwe) will set the groups for the participants in working on their materials design project. Each group will consist of participants from Cambodia, Myanmar and Indonesia.

4.    Step 4 : Each group will select their topic for their materials design and then work using Google Docs to share their design with the group members as well as facilitators.  They may also use Hangout and facebook as their means of long distance communication. In the design, each group may also include the use of Kahoot as media for presenting quiz.

5.    Step 5 : When the material design is ready, the Indonesian participants will try it out in their classroom and if it is possible they may record it. For the teacher candidates in Myanmar and Cambodia can also organize their teaching practice in selected school to try out the material design.

6.    Step 6 : the recording of the classroom practice will be uploaded in the group facebook so that other group (or other individual participants) can give comments or peer feedback

7.    Step 7 : 2nd teleconference using Hangouts may also be organized as a live discussion  forum

8.    Step 8 : the participants fill in the survey monkey provided by the facilitators as part of their self assessment.
