Designing an Online Course with(in) Mixtures of Matter and Function: The Experimentation of Two Teacher Educators in CALL
This presentation is the actualization of a novel way to apprehend the interrelationships between creativity and teacher education in CALL. Working with(in) Deleuze and Guattari’s views on language (1987), and the associated concept of Teacher Becoming in CALL (Bangou, forthcoming), this presentation will report data collected as part of a study focused on the design of a new online graduate course in CALL. Through the rhizoanalysis (Masny, 2016) of multimedia posters and reflective logs, we will show how teacher education in CALL is a creation that emerges within mixtures of matter and functions (Deleuze & Guattari, 2007; St-Pierre, 2016).

Abstract
Three presenters for the Teacher Education SIG panel discuss new ways of looking at teacher education and technology – teaching them about technology and using technology to further their education. The three presentations are “Design and Implementation of a Small Scale Intro to CALL Certificate Program” (Robinson), “Engaging English Language Teacher Candidates in the Participatory Culture through Digital Social Reading” (Solmaz), and “What if we were thinking about teacher education in CALL differently?” (Bangou).
