Reading Post #10

I have used the Internet before to get lesson plan ideas, websites for webquests, to create rubrics, and to make worksheets such as puzzles.I have also found some articles of relevance to share with my students, such as why learning a second language is important.Egbert mentions a few interesting websites. I would like to use the "computer-assisted language learning" journal site and the "software reviews" site, since I plan on applying for a grant next year.The "free-esl materials" + teachers website sounds pretty cool too for lesson plan ideas on vocabulary acquisition.In our school we have to now have a working, up-to-date website where we must enter announcements, post assignents, weblinks, and so on.They are really trying to incorporate technology district-wide. Flickr as stated by Richardson can help learners interact, share and learn from each other in creative and interesting ways like capturing the daily lives of a community or a classroom. Classroom projects, student work, pictures of field trips, or presentations can be captured live and posted to share with others.It sounds like a fun idea to use Flickr. We just have to know the details, its potential, risks, check for appropriateness and quality of the content before bringing it into the classroom.
