Developing Technology in Education Collaborative Project





To develop a collaborative project that presents the Oxbridge English Teaching System and how we incorporate technology in it

In the spirit of competition and with the incentive of exposing ourselves as modern vehicles that drive mental growth, we adventure into the idea of winning a prestigious fair that prizes many of our expertise. Knowing that the 18th of September becomes our finish line we began to brainstorm about what are some of the things that in our humble opinion make us the perfect wining candidate for the Technology in Education International Fair in Madrid. 

To do this we buzzed and twirled around our strengths,  our skills and our trademarks. What do we offer, what is it that makes us different? How do we innovate not only as teachers but also as  an educational institution of this digital era?



 

Let's see now how elements combine with each other, what our business lines are and consequently our educational projects and people's involvement



 

In order to support these business models, we are developing the following educational projects:



2.1.      Oxbridge English Teaching System (our learning system and digital paperless classes) for general English, ESP & intensive courses.

2.1.2.  Videoconference platform incorporating class material and live classes for all levels (beginners to advanced)

2.1.3.  Students’ area with TL & class material

2.1.4.  After-class applications for learners to consolidate concepts based on analysis of students’ individual progress (Smilies)

 

2.2.      English for Nursery Schools (The Little One by Oxbridge)

2.2.1.  Teachers’ daily lessons with all associated class material

2.3.1.  Teachers’ daily lessons for all classes with all associated class material
