Description:
CALL Workshop 2006: "Everyday Teaching with CALL "
Featured Presenter: Bill Pellowe
Presentations on CALL and Internet-based Language Learning. This is a practical forum for all junior high school, high school and university foreign language teachers interested in everyday teaching via the internet and computers. Over fifteen sessions will focus on training in software applications, demonstrations of successful classroom activities, presentations on new developments and research, and reports from active CALL developers in Hokkaido and beyond. This year JALT Hokkaido and JALTCALL SIG will be sponsoring a teacher trainer in the field of CALL applications to put on a beginner's workshop on setting up your own website. Bill Pellowe teaches at Kinki University (Iizuka Campus, Fukuoka Prefecture). He has been creating websites since 1996. One of his projects is ELT Calendar www.eltcalendar.com, which lists workshops, presentations and conferences for language teachers in Japan. Bill's latest project is ELT Podcast with Robert Chartrand. He writes: "Setting up a website can be a daunting task, with so many options to choose, acronyms to decode, and processes to understand. The presenter will provide a beginner-level guide to understanding how to set up your own website with your own domain name on a commercial server. You'll receive step-by-step instructions to carry you through the entire process. We 'll start with some of the issues and options when choosing your own domain name. The second step is to get some space on a web server. Third, I'll show how to 'connect' the domain name with your web server space. Fourth, you will receive an overview of how to actually set up your website with the least amount of technical know-how by installing free options such as Moodle (a popular way to create online courses for your students), etc. "

The event will be held in the CALL laboratories at Sapporo Gakuin University in Ebetsu, just east of Sapporo. The university is near the JR Oasa station, a 12 minute ride from downtown Sapporo. Contact Seiichi Miyamachi miyamach@sgu.ac.jp, Tim Grose grose@sgu.ac.jp or Don Hinkelman hinkel@sgu.ac.jp for more information.
