The Exploroo team strongly believes they have the next big thing, a great social network which will allow travelers from everywhere in the world to share their exciting travel experiences!
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 article gives a brief overview about why Google+ is useful to educators, and has some links to related articles at the bottom with more information on how educators can and should be using G+ in their classrooms.
I like the fact that I can have control over the discussion and can edit student responses. Also, the fact that student's privacy is protected is great. If I wanted to, I could project my computer screen and the students could see their comments being posted in real time.
There is quite a few posts about Wallwisher on youtube. I wanted to share this one because the author explains how to use the tool to entice students to create an extended text that they can share with other students for comments. Combining the post-its to paragraphs and an overall texts is also a great way to look at text strucure overall. He also introduces another tool Middlespot which looks even more suitable for story telling. Check it out!
Great ideas for using Wallwisher with language students. To name just a few, you could use it for collaborative homework, vocab practice or daily sentences.
Seems like an interesting tool for getting students to practice oral skills outside of the classroom as well. I might like to use this idea at the beginning of the school year to have students introduce themselves to one another.
