What is Technology-Enhanced Teaching (TET) Competence? - Introduction




In this week’s first learning activity we will be asked to upload evidence of our technology-enhanced teaching. We are completely free to choose the nature and format of this evidence.
Alternatively, it could be a lesson plan or an example of students’ work using a particular software or online tool, or perhaps a digital game our students designed or played to develop certain skills. 

Important questions for writing the self reflexion:

  1. Added value of using technology for this teaching/learning task
  2. Integrate the technology into the lesson plan/ clearly linked to learning objectives and syllabus
  3. Was technology used to its full potential / Teacher and students have sufficient digital skills / If not, why not
  4. Support learner choice and personalised learning / Students choose the appropriate tool to support their work
  5. Learner not only a consumer but also a producer
  6. Go beyond learning traditional subject-based competences / Develop 21st century skills such as collaborative problem solving
  7. Allow enough time for students to work with the technology / What could I have done to make the activity more smoothy


I am very enthousiastic about new technologies and am always trying to embed technology into my lessons and to motivate my students as well.
I teach german as a second foreign language and history. Also I conduct several project on enviromental or cultural subjects.
In my history class my students often make use of the tourbuilderwithgoogle. Here you can see an example of the archeological sites of Greece or a trip from Berlin to Munich
Then we often use Vokis or tellagamis. Here are some examples my students created. For the eTwinning projects we participated my students have created presentations of our town with animoto. We use technology on a regular basis and are trying to get as much of the added value as it is possible. 
The added value of using technology in my classroom is that the students get very motivated, they cultivate their digital literacy while they are learning something else and it is a very good way for group working and projects.
I always try to integrate the technology into the lesson plan and syllabus for the purpose of efficient teaching and accomplishing the assigned learning material.
My students hadn't the skills from the beginning but they had fun learning with technology.
The important aspect is that the students weren't only consumers but they have produced material with digital tools and learned a lot of things by doing this.
