      Although we have an in-house LMS at Northwest, I created an Edmodo platform for my Intermediate Russian I course for the fall to see how it will work. I'll use it in conjunction with the in-house LMS, which may prove to be cumbersome. We'll see.

    Some colleagues, Eliot Borenstein (Professor of Russian @ NYU) and Shannon Spasova (Assistant Professor of Russian @ Michigan State), started this FB group in the spring and it has been an invaluable forum for me to connect with instructors around the country throughout the spring emergency remote instruction and into planning for fall. It also provides some comic relief.

Annotated Bibliography - Twitter, Social Networking and Communities of Practice - 0 views

  •  
    This is an interesting collection (from 2009-but still) of articles/ book chapters around social networking. The author reads the various projectors as communities of practice. Not all articles deal with language acquisition, but are still interesting. One of them delves into why and how students use Facebook. One of them looks at virtual learning communities in the US and Australia vs. Europe. Good spring board to look at some of our topics more.

    Photobucket is the most important site on the Internet that hardly anybody understands. Unpretentiously, it has built an essential service that didn't need to shout out for attention, the way MySpace, YouTube, Facebook, Flickr, or other related sites have. Yet it's built an audience of 38 million members, a figure now growing more than 80,000 per day.
