    I created a number of tasks for teachers which I hope will help develop their ability to use technology and to evaluate and create materials using web based tools. I've decide now to share those tasks so anyone who wants to use them to train other teachers or to develop their own skills can take advantage of and make good use of them.

    I frequently use in my classroom is ViewPure. ViewPure allows you to display YouTube videos without displaying the "related videos" and advertisements that appear next to each video. There are two ways that you can use ViewPure. You can copy the url of your chosen YouTube video and paste it into ViewPure where it will then strip away everything but the video. The other option is to install the ViewPure bookmarklet and click anytime you're viewing a YouTube video.

College students' use of Kindle DX points to e-reader's role in academia - University o... - 3 views

  • “Most e-readers were designed for leisure reading – think romance novels on the beach,” said co-author Charlotte Lee, a UW assistant professor of Human Centered Design and Engineering. “We found that reading is just a small part of what students are doing. And when we realize how dynamic and complicated a process this is, it kind of redefines what it means to design an e-reader.”
  • The Kindle DX was more likely to replace students’ paper-based reading than their computer-based reading.
  • With paper, three quarters of students marked up texts as they read. This included highlighting key passages, underlining, drawing pictures and writing notes in margins.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • A drawback of the Kindle DX was the difficulty of switching between reading techniques, such as skimming an article’s illustrations or references just before reading the complete text. Students frequently made such switches as they read course material. The digital text also disrupted a technique called cognitive mapping, in which readers used physical cues such as the location on the page and the position in the book to go back and find a section of text or even to help retain and recall the information they had read.
  • “E-readers are not where they need to be in order to support academic reading,” Lee concludes. But asked when e-readers will reach that point, she predicts: “It’s going to be sooner than we think.”

    The webcam can be a vital tool in helping to support our students' pronunciation habits and helping them to 'see' how words and expressions are pronounced and what particular pronunciation features they need to be aware of. So here are a few tips and examples to help you use your webcam to help with your students' pronunciation.

    From Google Labs comes another handy service: searching for images using pictures instead of words. Let's say you're looking for a classic sports car. Start by typing in the search string "classic sports car". Now scan the images. When you find one you like, click the "Similar images" link under the photo to view related pictures.

    I've always enjoyed using music to teach for various reasons, I can say that one reason is that after listening to music everybodyis in a better mood, also because it makes learning much more fun and teaching as well. Eventhough finding music to use in classis not the challenge it was when I started teaching, and some books have songs built in their lessons still Ithink it is great to have all those alternatives Larry gives at hand and I'msureI'm goingto use them.

    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.

  • I've always found wise (and sometimes not so wise) quotes really useful, both within the classroom with students and as a way of introducing a topic when writing materials. I've used lots of different websites to find quotes over the years, but iWise is certainly about to become my new favourite as it seems to have taken wise quotes to a new level.

  • the beauty and value of many Web 2.0 tools, at least when it comes to staff development, lies in the fact that these tools encourage active content creation and engagement with learning by the participants. Good learning requires students to actively interact with the materials they are learning--to reflect and apply and use this information. Tools like blogs make this possible for individuals to do much more easily than in the past.

    Learning and enjoying songs can be a great way to improve your listening, vocabulary and pronunciation. In this activity we are going to use two websites to help you find, listen to and memorize the words of a song. First you'll use YouLyrics to find the words and a video of the song, then you will use MemorizeNow to help you learn and remember the words.
