Key skills and attitudes for IT literate teachers

VeraBobkova — Wed, 27 May 2009 06:48:32 CDT

This part of the wiki is an attempt to define the key skills that teachers using technology for ELT should posses.

The aim of this is for teachers to be able to see what skills they want to develop and work toward and so set themselves developmental goals. Please feel free to add any skills that you think are 'key' ones. I've also added a 'desirable' section for ones that aren't essential but are very useful.

Key Skills

The ability to evaluate technological resources and recognise their potential and limitations for language development
The ability to understand and learn how to use new IT resources
The ability to explain students why and how to use certain technology

Key attitudes

The willing ness to learn new things and the commitment to keep learning
The readiness to prepare plan B in case technology fails

Desirable Skills

The ability to create interactive learning objects

Web-based project work
