Keynote: Social Media for Student and Teacher Development by Ayat Al-Tawel
Social media is not about collecting likes and followers. It’s about connecting to make a difference (Cress, 2013). This session demonstrates how to make that difference with your students and for your own professional development with social media tools such as; FB, Twitter, Edmodo, Google + and Pinterest.
I am an EFL teacher from Cairo, Egypt. I have been teaching different age groups and levels for more than fourteen years in different schools and institutions. I'm currently teaching adults and young learners at the British Council in Egypt. My main interests are blended learning, using web 2.0 tools in teaching and enhancing creativity in the classroom. I was a co-moderator for Baw, one of EVO previous sessions, in 2012 and 2013, and then a co-moderator for ICT4ELT in 2014 and 2015. I have conducted some successful international collaboration projects with teachers from different countries around the world, worked closely with leading members of the technology in the classroom field and presented in online and f2f local and international events and conferences.
