      This site could be useful for groups that will be traveling abroad. It could also be a way to connect with other groups traveling abroad.

    I really like this site. I also like the fact you can use it to get unbiased opinions about potential vacation spots. We love to travel and I can see myself using this in the future.

    This Web site by the Irish polyglot who gave a TED talk about speaking from day one is billed as foreign language and travel hacks. Any brief perusal of social media sites like Pinterest or Tumblr will show that hacks are a popular topic -- life hacks, cleaning hacks, Disney hacks, etc.

      This is a great example of empathy-- I want to bring more of these types of anecdotes into my classroom-- via web apps--

      I am especially interested in the intersection of L2 learning and empathy-- I think that a deeper understanding of culture--differences and commonalities, helps to form a bridge between peoples-- In learning language, we learn humility and stepping into the unknown--trying on new ways of saying things and seeing the world.

      I like that this focuses on the active role we play in learning better empathic responses - sometimes I think we act like empathy is either something we have or we don't and that we all feel the same.

How To Learn Minority and Endangered Languages With Little or No Resources - 3 views

    I found this site on Feedly and started following it; this guy travels around the world learning foreign languages; this article in particular discusses how to learn minority and endangered languages, however I find the innovation and his motivation to be the greatest factors in his success. He's not following someone else's path and as the actual process of learning a FL is such a personal thing, I think he's really on to something! From the site: "There are almost too many sites and resources for big languages like French, Spanish and German. When you're learning a language like these, the problem is usually deciding which resource to use rather than not being able to find one. But what about those of us who want to learn a less popular language (minority or endangered)?"

      I found that it is so critical to learn the language through the discovery of culture.  It is when you understand the culture you learn to view things in different perspective and open your mind to the language.

      I love this website, love the way to learn the language through the culture and your interest. Thank you so much for introduced this to us.
  • Another great resource for learners of any level are Chinese blogs.  They cover living, working and travelling in China, Chinese life and culture, and of course the Chinese language itself.

Improving 21st-Century Competencies: From Classroom Practice to System Change - Global ... - 1 views

  • An exploration of perceptions of candidate teachers for the new school revealed that while they understood the importance of supporting student competency development, they were less clear on implementation. Therefore, the team has focused on strategies for teacher development. Teachers traveled abroad to observe competency-based education practices. These trips enhanced teacher mindsets about the value of competency-based learning, but teachers' monthly reflections revealed remaining gaps in confidence to implement these methods.

      I am glad to know that teachers in Japan are trying to integrate competency-based approach into their teaching even though it is in a private school.

  • Once the group is created, you can create student accounts. No email addresses needed. You create the username and password.
  • There are groups for all these where members can share their saves to not only their inventory but to the group as well. Diigo will email you once a week with all the new content. Pretty neat, huh? 
  • There are loads of other features as well, like highlighting on a webpage, adding sticky notes to pages, saving pages to read later without actually adding them to your collection and so much more.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • When you save to Diigo your saves go anywhere because they are saved to the cloud. Sounds mystical doesn't it?

      I am so mad I never used this earlier! It is really fantastic.
  • One of the most powerful features is the tagging. Basically, if I save Google.com and don't tag it, I will have to remember the name of the site or something in the address
  • your saves don't travel with you from computer to computer and device to device.
  • So if students are working on a group project they can share their saves together, automatically. Or as a class, if you are working on something everyone can contribute information they find.

      I love this concept--in level 3 I sometimes have the students do peer-editing of papers or projects, and I think Diigo could pair well with a pre-editing phase where they could collaborate on research as well as composition!
