Great source of information, examples and ideas about using Voicethread for digital conversations.

thanks for sharing Roxana. I really like how this blog discusses the language and cultural uses of using voicethread to create learning communities. It provided me many practical examples I can use in my classroom to help students focus on langauge development while using the technology. This post puts the focus on learning not on the technology. The handouts are great supports that help students stay on the learning track and because of this, the coummunity of learning is built. I was a little concerned by the deficit language used on the scoring rubric for asynchronous content. I will probably use something similar by change the wording to be a little more constructive, as meaning can be lost online and harsh wording can be misinterpreted.

I found it interesting as it shows some of the purposes not only for using Wideo in our classroom, but also for using some other media resources

What, how and why Wikis?

The name of the book is "Self Efficacy: the exercise of control" Bandura.

So easy. I have used QRcode a lot so my students o not have to type the site in their devices

Though some were supportive of the idea of using microblogging in classes, many wrote some variation on what this reader posted: "[This] means you never have to learn to open your mouth. Surely more Twitter is exactly the opposite of what kids desperately need to turn into functioning adults."

Voki speaking avatars are great tools for the classroom. Teachers and students alike can create avatars and use them in a number of ways to make learning fun and more accessible.

Hi Jessica, thanks for this article. Actually, I have been reading a lot about error correction lately, so it caught my eye right away. Any special reason why you chose it?

Hi Violeta, When teaching languages I think we need to read a lot about how to correct our students errors, and how to have them self correct. I have used some techniques, but since last week I realized that there is more outside to research. Check this one.. is good! Tarone, E. and Swierzbin, B. (2009). Exploring learner language.

Hi Jessica, This article makes us think how best we can give students feedback.Thanks for posting it.
