2. Other than having
technology-centric
classrooms, the use of
devices may work as an aid
to enhance learning “(…) the digital technology now
coming, more or less
rapidly, into our classrooms – if
used properly – can help make
our student's learning
real, engaging, and useful for
their future.” (Prensky, 2010)

3. “A teacher that can
be replaced by a
machine
should be”
SUGATA MITRA
Today‘s students want to learn differently than in the past.
They want ways of learning that are meaningful to them, ways that
make them see—immediately—that the time they are spending on
their formal education is valuable, and ways that make good use of
the technology they now is their birthright.
MARC PRENSKY

“In a partnering pedagogy, using technology is
the students‘ job. The teachers‘ job is to coach
and guide the use of technology for effective
learning.”

Unit 9 - Getting to know places
Vocabulary Build-Up 1 / Task 2
• Objectives: Consolidate vocabulary used to ask for and give directions.
• Input Data: Siri, Google Maps
• Grouping: Whole group - open pairs - pairwork
• Preparation: Show map of the area through Google Maps (visual aid) and elicit places of
interest. Model locations and directions using target language (e.g. “Is there a ____ next to
____?” and “How do I get to ____?”). Use SIRI to show the way. Perform in open pairs.
• Instructions: Ask students to choose a place on the map (it can be the one projected or on
their own devices) and ask SIRI how to get there. They should give directions and location to
their partner according to SIRI’s instructions.
• Performing: In pairs, students ask SIRI for directions to a selected place and give these
directions to their partner. Exchange roles.
• Accountability: Report their findings and check with SIRI.
