My generation… The youngest generations… Your generation…These expressions are often used to refer to shared perceptions and interpretations of the world that may bring people together or, at times, keep them apart. This webinar will connect generational theory to the online ELT class and reveal some interesting ‘whys’ behind students’ and teachers’ recurrent behavior worldwide. Attendees will be led to recognize their own generational teaching and learning barriers and find result-oriented ways of overcoming them in search of enhanced learning results. Participants’ specific take-away will include student-proven strategies to choose, grade, adapt and design class activities in a generationally-friendly approach to unleash their teaching potential and facilitate online learning.

Creative writing technically involves any writing of original composition in contrast to non-fiction prose. Creative writing is a more contemporary and process-oriented name for what has been traditionally called literature, including the variety of its genres. Nowadays, writing is being fuelled by technology, and educators agree that technology has a positive impact on their students’ writing. The possibility of sharing work with a wider audience beyond the classroom is particularly engaging.

The objectives of this webinar are to:

• introduce the advantages of using technology for creative writing
• present resources and strategies to use technology in creative writing
• show how to personalize, plan and design a lesson based on CW (for teens and young learners) 
• discuss how technology and creative writing can positively impact academic writing
