    guys, I just created this screencast to answer Marina Bonani's question. It's about how to start bookmarking. Here you go. Remember you need to install Diigo toolbar, or "diggolet". Where do you find instructions to do that? In our virtual classroom. It's all there!

    Students make up collaborative stories in class

    That's a very useful blog for teachers who, like me, are initiating on the web 2.0 tool world. There are several tasks that can be easily adapted to everyone's class. Moreover, it not only shows the tasks itself, but also how to do them using a web tool and there are other tool suggestions at the end of each task as well. I particularly liked task #6, which suggests using students'cell phones to record their performance in a pair work activity, like a dialogue role play. I'll try to work with my intermediate students using this idea and I'll share my experience with all of you!

Confessions of an Aca/Fan: The Informal Pedagogy of Anime Fandom: An Interview with Reb... - 0 views

  • Interestingly enough, schools often seem to discourage activities with these distributed forms of knowledge and resources, instead focusing on testing for what students have "inside their heads". However, I think it's just as important to recognize, evaluate, and help develop students' strategies for learning, collaborating, and accessing knowledge that they don't already possess, as this seems to be much more aligned with what we do as adults. I mean, I don't know all sorts of things, but I have pretty good strategies in place for finding them out.

      the importance of informal learning
  • experts and novices participate in the same areas and activities in affinity spaces. So, as I mentioned previously, novices aren't prevented from engaging in creative activities that they find interesting, even if these activities are challenging for them. And, through working in the same space as experts, novices are able to benefit from this exposure, by asking questions, collaborating, and by observing how experts go about certain tasks.

Fantastic WEB TOOLS for language learners - 1 views

    If you use at least one of these tools by the end of the course, you'll be able to see how your learners will turn into co-creators of their content, instead of being recipients of information

  • The instructor facilitates and mentors, as they have always done, but they are no longer the gatekeepers, because there are no gatekeepers, anywhere.
  • the more something is shared, the more valuable it becomes.
  • Education happens everywhere, not just with your nose down in a book, or stuck into a computer screen
  • Many students will never be very computer literate, but every single one of them has a mobile handset, and every single one of them sends text messages.
  • net filtering throws the baby out with the bathwater
  • Services like Twitter get filtered out because they could potentially be disruptive, cutting students off from the amazing learning potential of social messaging. Facebook and MySpace are seen as time-wasters, rather than tools for organizing busy schedules
  • media sites are blocked because the schools don’t have enough bandwidth to support them; Wikipedia is blocked because teachers don’t want students cheating.
  • Filtering, while providing a stopgap, only leaves students painfully aware of how disconnected the classroom is from the real world.
  • the maxim of the 21st century: connection is king
  • Students must be free to connect with instructors
  • difficult for instructors to manage, but it is vital.
  • Connection is expensive, not in dollars, but in time. But for all its drawbacks, connection enriches us enormously.
  • We need to let go, we need to trust ourselves enough to recognize that what we have now, though it worked for a while, is no longer fit for the times.

    I just think that this site will enable us teachers who are quite iliterate in terms of web tools to be able to get closer to our students who are phd in using them, and then feel confident enough to use these resources to teach.

    For people who want to learn about web 2.0 tools such as wikis, Flikr, etc...
  •  
    Cecília, Larry Ferlazzo's site is just great to follow. In some weeks, you'll learn how to follow its updates without even getting to his site! I'm sure you could spend a lifetime exploring all the resources he makes available for teachers.
