The one-computer classroom allows teachers to create lessons that blend traditional in-person instruction with online activities using tools like videos, chats and collaborative documents. These blended lessons provide opportunities for discovery, participation and interaction that take students' learning outside the classroom. By regularly introducing new technologies and topics, the one-computer classroom promotes learner autonomy and empowers students to publish their work online.

- 1. Teresa Almeida d’Eça Lisbon, Portugal: 4 May 2013 Web conference for Dr. Hala Fawzi & her Senior EdTech Students Applied Linguistics Department Yanbu University College Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
- 2. one computer, a video projector and an Internet connection naturally, a whiteboard or an IWB to project the lesson if not available... a wall! this generates a ‘blended lesson’
- 3. a mix of the traditional classroom and use of the Internet a compromise between learning in the traditional f2f lesson and learning online through interactive Web- based communication tools to carry out specific activities... to interact locally or globally to generate blended learning
- 4. learning that takes place “inside and outside” the 4 walls broadens horizons by opening up to the world takes the students outside the classroom, beyond the textbook and the traditional tools: pencil, pen, notebook...
- 5. learning that uses Web tools that are now part of our daily lives, but not yet part of most classrooms
- 6. learning that takes students on a journey of discovery adventure participation interaction collaboration co-construction and self-publishing of knowledge sharing with people who are just a click away (though they may be in very distant parts of the world)
- 7. the one-computer classroom makes possible technology is only a tool, a means to an end: language learning and developing autonomy 21st century technologies are magical!
- 8. topic (motivating, curricular or extracurricular: age and interests are factors of the choice) plan (clear, step-by-step, well-laid out) objectives (simple so students understand the meaning and purpose of the lesson) activities (clear and simple instructions in the L2) use of L1 when absolutely necessary
- 9. choice of topic an activity created by the teacher for motivation CALL Lessons movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDPpnh97xNU students taking turns at the computer all students collaborating in what’s being done (giving tips and choosing the best answer)
- 10. students jotting down what’s being done in their notebooks (when appropriate) students replying to a message or comment left by a reader, collaborator... in the following lesson, students can summarize what was done and record an audio file about it
- 11. carefully go over the Objectives and Activities explain anything not clear enough in the native language (L1) start the Activities choose a volunteer student jot down names to try not to omit anyone (try to) alternate girl – boy – girl...
- 12. have everyone participate and give hints; let the students choose the answer they want on the Web save all work done and upload any files before the end of class (if possible) show students their online products before they leave (and... look at their ‘proud’ faces!) set a short homework related to the lesson (e.g. students give opinion about what was done)
- 13. every two weeks, because of curricular constraints, but also due to the added workload far enough apart to generate “enthusiasm” for the next lesson didn’t become a routine
- 14. use a multimedia tool (wiki? blog? LMS?) for the basic content use diversified Web communication tools for the activities audio video chat Google docs (for collaboration in real time), GMaps & GApps... software for interactive exercises
- 15. introduce a new Web tool as regularly as possible create image tutorials, if necessary: http://call05.wordpress.com/2006/11/29/post-21/ change the topics most every lesson (at most, 2 lessons for each topic) create interactive exercises using different programs, or different types of exercises within the same program (Quia, Educaplay, Hot Potatoes...)
