    The site allows you to sign up and choose the language you want to learn. Since the site doesn't have a massive userbase just yet, Verbling hosts sessions as specific times daily (12 pm PT and 7 pm PT) where people can show up and chat with each other. Once you join the site during a session time, you are automatically paired with a language speaker who is fluent in the language you wish to learn. The site encourages users to talk to a number of different speakers within each session.

Education Innovation: Teachers Are Irreplacable, Right Up Until The Moment They Are Rep... - 0 views

  • Education and classroom teachers are in much the same situation as the scribes of the 1400’s were. How is that you ask?  Simple, we are in a revolution of how our society connects, communicates, and in many regards, how it functions. The technology of the web has changed how we communicate. It has made it possible to communicate and teach from virtually anywhere. Learning is no longer limited to the teacher in the classroom or the brick and mortar school. Learning can take place anyplace and at anytime with web technologies. Online courses, online schools, etc. have arisen and benefited from the revolution of our 2.0 society.
  • The train has left the station on virtual education. It may not be heavily adopted yet, but it will. Why wouldn’t it?  We in education can resist, fight it, and even argue against it, but like the scribe of the 1400’s, we are living in revolutionary times and we are working along side virtual schools, teachers, and classrooms. The shift is already beginning, the question for us becomes, adapt to it and adopt it, or go the way of the scribe. I think we are much too smart not to do the former, and far too important to do the latter.
