This week has been very fruitful. The readings were interesting and created a lot of debate around the listening and speaking skills in TEFL. It's always useful to see how other teachers make the most of the technological resources on the Internet, their recommendations, their personal experiences when using those websites, the difficulties encountered, etc. And, of course, I like making small contributions to help them whenever I have ideas related to their doubts and problems.
With regard to Delicious, I had previously heard about it but never bothered to try it - big mistake! I can now see its potential and I've started adding websites shared on Nicenet. I feel like a kid with a new toy, so I just have to keep playing and tidying up :) *[Note to self: I must export my favourites from Firefox. I'll try Jenda's link: http://export.delicious.com/settings/bookmarks/import] More importantly, it will be a great tool to keep in contact with my classmates and share interesting websites and resources throughout our teaching careers.
Hi, Patricia! I agree with that Delicious is great for sharing with other teachers! I have imported my favorites from Firefox, it works perfectly! And it is very easy to do!
ReplyDeleteI also enjoy reading other teachers' comments, it sure is very useful!
Hi there!
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you are so enthusiastic about the course, as I am, of course. I admit that Delicious was a tool I had heardof but, like you, din't bother to have a look at. So, one of the big advantages of this course is the fact that they "make" you try new tools which you end up being enthusiastic about!
