Tonguetide - 1 views

  •  
    Welcome to Tonguetide, the language-learning social network. Like Facebook and Twitter, Tonguetide is a place to connect with people, except that here you'll be meeting people who want to learn languages too. Chat: You can practise your language skills with real native speakers by messenger (like Facebook Chat), video chat (like Skype), or our internal mailing system (email). Use our Match feature to find a native speaker fluent in the language you want to improve (ideally one who wants to learn your mother tongue), read their information to find someone you fancy talking to and invite them to chat by adding them as a friend, sending them a private message, commenting on their profile or "sticking your tongue out" (like "poking" on Facebook). Match: Our system will automatically alert you of new users who fit the profile you specified when signing up and will tell you the Match percentage. Our Members Map even allows you to pinpoint users' locations on a Google Map - so you could meet them face-to-face to chat the old fashioned way! Tonguetide classes: Take classes with one of our language teachers trained in the Tonguetide method. Our online classes offer speaking practise in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and German combined with our self-study courses - perfect for those with a busy schedule. All you need is an internet connection, a microphone and a set of speakers or headphones. Take a Tonguetide self-study course: Our self-study language courses are packed with fun exercises, videos of native speakers and audio tracks for listening practice. An annual subscription for any of our courses is just 14,95€, or 500 Tonguetide points. Teach online: Tonguetide is packed with useful resources for teachers. Our Virtual Classroom feature is an online teaching tool which makes the classroom whiteboard a thing of the past, allowing you to teach as if you were in the same room!"

Georgia Tech Wipes Class Wikis From Web - Wired Campus - The Chronicle of Higher Education - 0 views

  •  
    "The Georgia Institute of Technology has stripped, at least for now, more than 10 years of class work from its collaborative-learning Web sites, known as Swikis. Following a student's complaint to the university that his name was listed on the Web site of a public course, Georgia Tech officials decided on Monday to remove all Swikis other than ones from the current semester, said Mark Guzdial, a professor in the School of Interactive Computing, who is a co-creator of the Swikis."

YouPub - 0 views

  •  
    The purpose of this wiki is to explore, explain and support non-traditional modes of publishing one's creations. In most cases, existing work and creations by others, using these same technologies, can also be used to support teaching and learning. These technologies fall under the broad definition of the "Read-Write-Web" or Web 2.0. There are hundreds of sites and services where you can create, modify and upload your own content, whatever it may be. (Designed for Connecticut College faculty and students.)

Txt-Perts: Implementing Educational Text Messaging - 0 views

  •  
    "Hosted by: Dr. Abigail Grant Scheg (Elizabeth State University) Date: November 29, 2012 Text messaging, in and out of the classroom, is often viewed as a negative communicative mode which results in poor grammar and poor idea representation, let alone student procrastination from more important projects. However, as Web 2.0 technologies increase in number and popularity, these tools are changing the face of education, business, and communication at large. This session will discuss the pedagogical possibilities using text messaging and ways to incorporate texting into the classroom or as part of a class in a way that will make the instructor feel comfortable. Starting with the idea that our students are experts in the technology of text messaging, this session will allow the instructor to utilize students' skills in a positive light rather than dismiss them as unimportant. In this presentation, author Dr. Abigail Grant Scheg will discuss her IGI Global chapter, Textperts: Utilizing Students' Skills in the Teaching of Writing. Her research explores both the theoretical and practical implementations of text messaging into the composition of the classroom with careful consideration of the positive and negative impacts."

PeerWise - 1 views

  •  
    "PeerWise is an online repository of multiple-choice questions that are created, answered, rated and discussed by students. Typically, at the beginning of a term, a course using PeerWise begins with an empty repository. This grows gradually as the course progresses and students author and contribute relevant questions. All activity remains anonymous to students, however instructors are able to view the identity of question and comment authors and have the ability to delete inappropriate questions."

No More Swikis: End of the Constructionist Web at Georgia Tech « Computing Ed... - 0 views

  •  
    "Georgia Tech's interpretation of FERPA is that protected information includes the fact that a student is enrolled at all... Yesterday, in one stroke, every Swiki ever used for a course was removed... For example, you can't have cross-semester discussions or public galleries, because students in one semester of a course can't know the identities of other students who had taken the course previously."
