the Best Web 2.0 Applications for Education - 2007, here's my next "Best of.." list - the Web 2.0 applications which are most helpful to English Language Learners.

In this paragraph we might observe three things left out of Web 2.0 that in a certain moment may influence the practice and the responsibilities it may bring with them. The outline of each tension ends with suggestions for one or more researchable questions that naturally follow. With this we are only adding some particular issues that will in one way or another limit the strategic discoveries of this new technological way of communication. Further on, some limitations may impose certain morality issues that may limit any further development as well as oppose to many business negotiations that will be directly affected with this.

Conversation Question on Human Rights critically examine a topic to develop their own higher order questions.

Prerequisites: None other than adequate Web access.Materials and Resources: What needs to be prepared in advance by the teacher? Usually, the questions will center around a topic that the instructor or a guest presents. The topic may be presented through readings or a lecture prepared by the instructor or guest. What does the student need to bring to the lesson? Students need to view any prerequisite materials.

There are many things that are able to be accomplished throughout the development of the new techniques. For example how to keep in touch with our students and to program different activities in a course. All of this encourages students to never stop practicing what is definitely a process. If they feel the communication doesn´t stop, they feel happy and free to produce more and more each time.

Great idea to put this into our Diigo group. This weekend I'll be going over your project in more detail and can give more meaningful feedback. From what I've seen (and read by others), your group did a terrific job! M.

Ideas for using technology in our classrooms.

I use ideas from this website when my classes seem a bit squirmy and need to use up some energy to better help them concentrate!

In the intro to this blog, over the last few years, I have often heard teachers commenting that they would like to use more technology with their students, but they have to cover the materials in the coursebook. So, I started thinking about ways we could use technology to quickly and simply convert coursebook activities to something more interactive on the web.

Here you can find a very interesting explanation of the utility of twitter in the classroom to encourage students to give their opinions.

This is a collection of listening practice materials designed for ESL learners. It is part of the ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE Website (http://www.rong-chang.com/), the best ESL Web directory.

I really like to use this activity in my classroom because it helps students to listen to native people talking about any topic related with the material seeing in class, and it can help to reinforce some vocabulary, not just by listening but also practicing it.

Great, I going to put it into practice!
