You just have to learn how to be digitally responsible !

The CNIL (the French Data Protection Authority), the CSA (the High Audio-Visual Council), the Defender of Rights and the Hadopi (the High Authority for the dissemination of works and the protection of the rights on the Internet) have been working for several years to raise public awareness of the issues that the Internet poses to our everyday lives. These three authorities decided to work together to create a digital citizen’s kit to address questions about online rights, online privacy, respect for creativity, and the responsible and civic use of screens. This practical kit offers parents and all educational actors materials to support young people in their digital use. We invite you to take a look at their digital education activities and resources!

Holy Owly for School & Bordas: an Awesome App to Teach & Learn English on Primary Schools

The Holy Owly - Bordas partnership is the result of a collaboration between a young digital start-up which has become an expert of learning English for children from 3 to 12 and an innovative educational publishing house.

After three years of research and development, Holy Owly has developed a revolutionary pedagogical method which, combined with the skills and the knowledge of the educational market of Bordas publishing house, offers a ready-to-use resource for primary school teachers.

 
Holy Owly for School is an intuitive application that provides immediate autonomy for both teachers and students, through quickly deployed English micro-sessions with confidence, perfect pronunciation and sentence structure.

 
Holy Owly for School is also:
-5 minutes of training per day to improve English pronunciation.
-Individual work on a tablet or collective work via video projection.
-Easy oral practice for pupils through a voice recognition system.
-A dashboard for teachers to track the progress of their pupils.
-Pedagogical content adapted for a progressive and structured school project.
-Teaching guides and toolkits to extend learning through songs and games.

We shall look at several examples of activity sheets from the various teacher's guides and thus show how the weekly objectives for each level match the content of the app. 

We shall also come up with possible manipulations around the English grammar and vocabulary that can be done with the class as a whole. To go even further, games or playroles shall also be suggested so as to strengthen the learning skills of the children.

Holy Owly for School can be used on an Apple or Android tablet and can also be projected onto an interactive board through an Apple TV or Google Chromecast.

Our application is available on Apple and Google play store. It requires the following minimum settings: IOS 12.4.8 on Apple and Android 9 on Android.

Organized by FLOWCHASE

Speaking English confidently, a challenge for learners: what pedagogy and tools can help us teach spoken skills easily?

Spoken skills are spooky. Boo! 👻
Many English learners are afraid to speak in front of their peers because they are self-conscious about their accent. Fluency is difficult to learn, but also to teach within a traditional classroom environment, especially when dealing with large groups of students. Because of this, spoken skills are often neglected in comparison to vocabulary and grammar.

The future of learners is at stake! 🔥
The thing is, being able to speak English fluently is one of the most valuable skills an individual can have when they enter the job market: 81% of the companies surveyed by IPSOS in France in 2020 plan to recruit employees with a bilingual English proficiency in the coming years*.


… and their enjoyment, too!
Who doesn’t wish they could enjoy their favorite series in English, NO subtitles? 😎

This raises the question:

Which digital tools and pedagogy can we leverage to bring pronunciation and spoken skills to the forefront of the English class?

Technology represents a huge untapped potential when it comes to spoken skills. Apps and voice technology can complement the expertise of teachers (without replacing them) and help personalise learning to each students’ needs. To achieve the best results, however, it must be integrated in the classroom in a thoughtful way.

How can we make sure a tool adds value to our course, and assess its outcomes?

In this talk, Zoé Broisson, linguist and CEO of the EdTech startup and university spin-off « FLOWCHASE », introduces practical solutions (with lesson plans) and discusses the potential of a « flipped classroom » approach to make spoken English more fun and efficient to learn and teach.

*1 in 4 French people have already had to give up a job or a promotion because of an insufficient level of spoken English. — (IPSOS, 2020 - https://www.ipsos.com/fr-fr/25-des-francais-ont-deja-du-renoncer-un-emploi-cause-dun-niveau-danglais....

What regional strategies can local authorities adopt to reinforce language learning?

Did you know that almost half of students at the end of the Third Cycle in French schools have difficulty understanding English? And that this number rises to 73% for Spanish and 63% for German? Such situations can have lifelong repercussions, as evidenced by the fact that today less than 5% of French people are fluent in English.

Proficiency in foreign and regional languages has multiple benefits. Not just the obvious ones, like employability and professional mobility, but also advantages in increased cognitive abilities, being open to others, and heightened cultural tolerance.

So a key question how to reverse the situation so as to achieve the French Education Ministry's objective of having all high school students reach an advanced intermediate (B2) level of English by the end of their final year. Which educational resources and pedagogical approaches have proved effective? And how are government institutions - starting with local authorities and the decentralised branches of the Ministry - tackling this challenge?

This talk, which will include contributions by key local authorities, language teachers and school administrators, as well as EdTech experts, will put forward possible answers and outline issues for further thought and discussion.

The safest wireless technology for our children

We are all rapidly moving to a much more digital world. A world without internet, online tools and communication is hard to imagine. This revolution is also coming back in education. It is very important that our children are getting used to the online and digital tools. But not only that, it opens up a world of knowledge and learning possibilities, difficult to realize offline.
Education Tech has become a fast growing industry over the last years. Schools need to decide on how they want to fit the digital education in their schools and system. Which tools, which software but of course also the infrastructure is important.
Up till now schools depended on either using cabling or Wi-Fi to link all these tools to the infrastructure. Cabling is always difficult, maybe just connecting one teacher is possible. But can you imagine 30 kids in a classroom with wires running throughout?
Wi-Fi is from a practical standpoint a much more attractive technology but is based on radio technology. Not everybody is comfortable with radio waves. France is one of the countries taking this a step further. When not in use, the guideline is to switch of Wi-Fi.
But what if part of the class wants to be online, or just a handful of children working on a project need access to Wikipedia?

Although from a technology perspective not new, wireless communication using light waves, has been taken a big leap forwards. The technology, for which LiFi is coined in 2011, has been out growing from research centers, building proto types and writing whitepapers. Although we cannot call it mainstream yet, the ability to use LiFi technology in real life is absolutely possible. Certified products are on the market place, applications have been tested and industrialization is done.
LiFi technology is in our believe perfect for the earlier mentioned challenges in a school. How can we provide a reliable, secure and safe infrastructure to provide internet access.
LiFi as explained, uses light waves to communicate. In most cases this is infrared and therefore invisible light. These low power LED’s are completely safe for the users, and allow the fast internet access often needed for education applications. Compliance with the regulation, without having to switch on and off the technology. Children but also teachers can be linked without cabling.
Additional benefit of the technology is the extreme stability of the signal, and as we can define accurately the coverage zone, we can avoid people outside the building to connect and potentially steel or modify data.
The technology is ready, the products are available, several schools throughout Europe have been used to test, and now we can roll out. Let us make sure that our children will be connected using the safest wireless technology.

Artificial intelligence: what uses for inclusive schools?

The progress of artificial intelligence opens new potentialities in favor of a truly inclusive school, which ensures the development of each student's capacities, in particular in terms of personalization of teaching, adaptation of the environment, as well as in the understanding of certain situations of disability.

The conference-debate will provide an opportunity to take stock of the current uses of AI in the service of inclusive schooling and to present perspectives on the potential and promise of AI in this area :

○ How can AI be useful to teachers in contributing to the inclusion and success of all students?

○ Beyond theoretical promises, what lessons can be learnt from concrete experiments underway or already conducted?

○ How can AI be put to work for teachers and how can they be mobilized to leverage AI for the benefit of inclusive schools?

○ Is it time to design and deploy devices on a large scale?

To answer these questions, #Leplusimportant brings together 6 experts and field players from the educational ecosystem: 

·     Muriel Brunet, Head of the Program lead Education and Digital, INRIA

·     Eric Bruillard, Teacher-researcher, Université Paris Descartes USPC
