VoiceThread allows the creation of digital media-based stories. The Library linked here gives a good idea of the range of projects possible. The Digital Library is a database of articles about successful VoiceThread projects. Our hope is to create a resource that offers guidance and inspiration for people undertaking new projects. Please contribute a VoiceThread to help the Digital Library grow.

A WallWisher set of stickies with Webheads' faorite tools. Not developed much yet.

The start of a series of videos that are part of a teacher training program called "Shaping the Way We Teach English," created by the University of Oregon (Leslie Opp-Beckman and others) for the US Department of State. The content is freely available.

This is the best source for learning about all the features of Elluminate and how to use this synchronous conferencing system.

This is a space where Webheads' students have links/feeds to their students' blogging adventures. This is a good place to find a class to collaborate with, or just see some examples of how teachers are using blogs with their ESL/EFL students. --Elizabeth

So far there are 20 videos concerning British language and culture. Looks like it would have high appeal to secondary students and mor advanced learners.

Starts right in with Getting Started with Google Reader. Great to see it all laid out in videos.

This site is filled with stories of interest to Adult ESL learners at many levels. Each story has a pre-reading, timed reading and audio component.

This project was designed to create leveled reading selections that are appropriate for and valued by adult learners. These materials, combined with the research-proven strategies of repeated reading and guided oral reading, aid in building learners' fluency and comprehension skills. The materials correspond to Casas 200 - 235. This project helps adults become better readers and more informed consumers, parents, employees, citizens and community members. The focus of these reading selections will be on topics such us: Civics, Employment, Housing, Health, School, Money, and Government. This project is funded in part through an EL/Civics Grant from the MN Dept. of Ed - ABE Division and mini-grant from the Minnesota Literacy Council.

Nice way to get students talking

This is a really nice description of what WebQuests are and how to develop them. Uses short videos for various aspects, and has links to articles on the Web.

Welcome to originalpoetry.com. The place where poets can submit poems, review poems from other poets, rate them, meet and greet. We've just launched this site, and the site is in "beta". That means the site is still developing and that things may change quite frequently. This might be a useful place for students "publish" their literary efforts. Poetry-writing is a great ESL/EFL activity.

A slideshow (with audio) of a paper presented at the TESOL NYC CALL IS Academic Session, April 2008. Attempts to clarify what is known about SLA and how Plato's problem of "excessive knowledge" is solved by a computer model of reading prediction that uses Landauer and Dumais' theory of Latent Semantic Analsyis.
