Blogger: Blogger Dashboard - 0 views

  •  
    Blogger is a free site for blogging. It is incorporated with Google, so if the user has a Google account, he automatically  has a Blogger account. This site (as well as any simple blogging site) can be used for students to publish their writing and receive a world-wide audience. Additionally, students can keep a reflection journal of their own progress, feelings, and questions regarding their learning. Finally, instructors can use blogs to communicate important information to their students as well as share their voice in an easily-accessed, asynchronous means.

    This is one of my favorite sites to find out what's new in tech for our use.  The April 11th blog post discusses typing accents in other languages.  It also presents 2 virtual keyboards for WL students. Also presented are links to learning languages, activities, and image-based language lessons.

United Classrooms - The Global Social Learning Network - 0 views

  •  
    Uclass is an online portal for classroom connections around the globe. Similar to ePals, this site allows teachers to create a virtual classroom and then request to connect with other classrooms for pen-pal exchanges or project collaboration. This site promotes cultural awareness and opportunities to easily connect with other classes around the world to arrange projects and virtual exchanges. Once teachers create a site (register) they can add students to the class to create student accounts. From there, one can search for other classes seeking pen-pals. Teachers can post messages for all users to view, suggesting topics of interest to language study or project proposals. Students can send direct messages to other students in other classes and within their own class, provided that the teacher has permitted this function within the class. Easy tool for getting started with global project collaboration and communication exchanges in the target language.

    Thanks for sharing this Nick. I'm really considering how to implement online portfolios in my classroom next year and this looks like a wonderful site!
  •  
    I like this as well. I was exploring this site for a while and could not find a lot of information before signing up.
  •  
    Nick, seems like a great tool that teachers could utilize easily. I tried to explore a bit to find information about cost and storage etc. and could not find anything. Do you know more about this?
  •  
    Thank you for sharing. Portfolios have always been a great asset for our classes but online are getting even more relevance now as most departments are making them a priority for many languages and disciplines
  •  
    Sabine, With regards to cost, it is free. I am unsure about how much storage that they give you to use on the site. That was something that was not talked about at the conference where I discovered the tool.

    Can you upload video and/or recordings?
