This Week's Tasks

Hello B4Bers!
Welcome to Week 4!
First, we would like to thank all of you for the great job done and
constructive interaction in Weeks 1, 2 and 3!
We all know how hard it is to work, take care of our families and still find time to try out so many different tools. It's rewarding to check our emails every day and see that you are all doing your best to share what you have already learned and help other participants around!
The live session with Phil Hollow last Thursday was an enriching experience to all of us. We all learned more about Feedblitz and how it can make our lives easier!
Most of us have already built our blogs. The next step?
Time to start thinking about ways to promote interaction in our blogs; to motivate our readers to come back and write more!
Our main goals for Week 4 are to reflect on the use of blogs in the classroom and to discuss the basic issues related to blogging pedagogy.
The main tasks of the Week:
* to read about blogging pedagogy
* to create a list of "The best Blogging Practices" (B4B blog)
* to analyze different blogs
* to discuss error correction in blogs (optional activity - yahoogroups)
* to participate in the Live Session "Successful Blogging Practices"
(include your name in our database)
Check the B4B wiki for instructions and links to each task.

A very recent Teach and Learn Online Google Group messageannounces a SCoPE seminar on Blogging to Enhance Learning Experiences
It has been a pleasure to take part in previous SCoPE seminars. They're free, but Moodle registration is required.

Abstract
An increasing number of language teachers are using wikis and blogs to enhance the teaching process. This paper describes the future use of a wiki and a blog as online collaborative environments in blended learning. The applications will be used to complement problem-based learning sessions of English for Specific Purposes at the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. The paper outlines the teaching/learning context and discusses both applications in terms of pedagogy, content, design, use and potential risks.

Since there were some readings on copyright issues in the week three
tasks, I thought I'd pass along an article from the WOW2 Newsletter
(Women of Web 2.0) called "Hey, that's mine..." by Karoli Hayes. It
deals with ownership issues and Creative Commons.
You can find it in the WOW2 Newsletter and also take a look at the WOW2 site.
I just recently joined this community and this was the first newsletter I received. Hope it is useful to some of B4Bers! |
