"Teachers and Facebook: Please, Miss, Can I Friend You On Facebook? Good use of social networking and other social media in schools doesn't change that much with the changes in tools and platforms, but it's still useful to have a reminder of what works, and what doesn't."

This weekend I had the great pleasure of participating in my first webinar: The 3rd Virtual Round Table Online Conference. It was an amazing experience, I had the pleasure of "running" into many friends from my PLN and loved the sessions I was able to attend. During the Unconference we all decided on some topics of interest and then each went to a virtual conference room to discuss the theme we had chosen. In the room I went to we talked about error correction - ways we do it, when we do it, etc. We shared ideas, our experiences. There were some great ideas, and I chipped in with an activity I really enjoy doing and the students have the greatest time with it. But most importantly, I believe it to be one of the most effective ways of error correction, because the correction is made by the students; they correct sentences they've written. (By the way, for those of you who were in the room, I am sorry if I stumbled or did something wrong - I was extremely nervous about speaking there!)

What a cool way to have fun with language, use the projector and have kids work in teams collaboratively. :)

"What is Diigo? For those of you unfamiliar with Diigo, it is a social bookmarking tool that allows you to annotate, archive and organize websites. With Diigo, you can save websites into a public or private library, highlight information within text and images, add sticky note comments directly on websites, tag sites for easy retrieval later, and share bookmarks with friends, groups, and networks. Diigo integrates the use of tags and folders, highlighting and clipping, sticky notes and group-based collaboration to better manage online information."

Facebook and educators, a must read

"Animaps extends the My Maps feature of Google Maps by letting you create maps with markers that move, images and text that pop up on cue, and lines and shapes that change over time. When you send your Animap to friends it appears like a video - they can play, pause, slow and speed up the action!"

So Mr Mark does it out tripline tripline?

"In Shidonni, kids get their own online "pen and paper" to sketch animals. The moment they do, their creations come to life 'virtually'. Kids can then create worlds for their animals, feed them, play with them and share them with their friends. "

doco from Friends about street kids

"Shidonni is a site where students can draw their favorite animal with a world to live in it and see the animal spring to life. Kids take care of their animals by feeding, petting or sending them to sleep. The animal eats the food that kids have drawn for it. They can choose if they want their pet to walk or fly, and they can name it. Kids can draw a background and change it whenever they want. They can play games with their virtual animals or send them to their friends to play with their animals. You can watch this introduction video. This site is great for kindergarten students but I'm sure primary kids will love and enjoy this site too!! This can be a great tool for digital storytelling or describing animals or daily routines."

will try this and let you know.
