Jamie Keddie talks to the ebulletin about his presentation at the PCE at the 50th IATEFL conference, You Tube and storytelling.
You Tube
Q: ” What was your presentation about at the LTSIG Pre Conference Event?”
Storytelling
Q: “Is story telling changing? If so, how?”
Special thanks to Jamie for these reflections and questions regarding You Tube culture and storytelling.
You Tube and storytelling are now powerful forms of media that teachers need to explore, understand and utilise. There is much food for thought here with regard to the bigger question of education and how students create their own meaning through multi-media. Socialising and risk-taking can inject a rush of excitement into language learning. How do we keep it safe and inspiring at the same time ?
A new never-ending story that is also as old as time itself.
These topics should challenge and inspire more teachers out there to share their experiences of teaching with You Tube or using storytelling techniques. It should also prompt us to explore the social cultures that our children and students navigate as they make sense of the world they live in, whilst daring to redefine culture as they experience it.
Is story telling changing because of technology and social media?
