![]() ![]() Our students are consumers, distributors, remixers, and creators of content from and to the Internet. Please feel free to add more Web 2.0 tools you know and love, or to share any Web 2.0 projects made with students, in the Comment sections below.Technology is transforming the way we are interacting, communicating and collaborating. And many more teachers who are doing excellent work using them with their students. If you don´t know the Webheads, and are a language teaching wanting to start using technology with your students – join them right now!īut there are many more excellent Web 2.0 tools out there. The examples above are of just a very few Web 2.0 tools, produced by teachers, many of whom belong to the excellent Webheads group. Here´s an example of Barb Sakamoto´s young learners´ Halloween Party in Japan, using animoto. Slideshows: Take photos of your students and collate them into a slideshow/movie with or without subtitles.Here´s an example from Cristina Costa´s students in Portugal made with Podomatic. Podcasts: Get students (individually or in pairs) to create a series of podcasts or audio recordings on a topic/theme.Here´s an example from students in Brazil and Argentina using dvolver. Animated cartoon movies: Have students create short cartoons/animated movies in pairs, then review each other´s movies.Here are examples from students around the world. Multimedia posters: Get students to produce a multimedia online poster on any topic, using a tool like Glogster.Here´s an example from Sonja Tack´s university students in Turkey. The task is carried out by students in the comments section. ![]() Blogs: Set students a weekly reading/writing task in a blog entry, using a tool like Blogger.Here´s an example by Carl Dowse of a wiki used with Business English students, made with Wikispaces. Or use a wiki as a materials repository and as a space for different classes to work in collaboratively. Pairs or small groups are each responsible for one area (food, events, tourist sites, customs, history etc). Wikis: Get students to prepare a guide book to their city or country in a wiki. ![]() Here are some ideas (with examples) of how teachers around the world have very successfully used Web 2.0 with their language learners: Or a significant change in already sound practice. If teachers are already using projects and group work in their normal teaching, then integrating Web 2.0 tools does not require a great leap of faith. If teachers are favouring a transmission approach to learning, then inevitably they will tend towards a Web 1.0 use of technology. Web 2.0 fits in well with a communicative, collaborative approach to teaching and learning. Using technology with students is 10% about the technology (how it works) and 90% about pedagogy (how to use it in a meaningful, effective and useful way). Even if teachers are using some of these tools themselves they may still not see how exactly they can be integrated into their normal practice. But how much of this makes it into the average language classroom? In my experience of training language teachers to teach with technologies over the past decade, it´s still a minority of teachers who know where to start. They too are likely to be Internet users. Your students are probably using some Web 2.0 tools already. What do they have in common? They enable students to produce and share content on the web, and allow comments from others. There are hundreds of Web 2.0 tools out there, and you can find a good collage of them here. Key concepts in Web 2.0 are those of user-generated content, and the Internet user as ´prosumer´ (producer and consumer). In my first post in this series we looked at some of the features of Web 2.0 as contrasted with Web 1.0. What is it, and what does it mean for teachers? The first of the series looked at Web 1.0, in case you missed it.Īnswer: You make all the content. In this second of a 4-part Beginner´s Guide series I take a look at Web 2.0. ![]()

Everywhere he went, people knew that Paul belonged to God, and that he was representing a living Savior, whom Paul personally knew and spent time with.

Even when combat begins, there's usually a peppering of shots toward cover before casualties occur, and Relic ensure that you have time to react as a situation develops. That's partly due to the detailed depictions that the Essence Engine make possible, but it's also down to the careful pacing of the missions. Even as you send fresh troops into battle, replacing a squad who just died on a fool's errand of your own making, Company Of Heroes makes you believe that every soldier counts for something. It manages to marry the humanity of Band of Brothers with the ingredients of an RTS. If you're tired of Civ, this is a very worthy heavyweight alternative.Ĭompany Of Heroes made World War II seem like new territory. With so many different combinations to sift through and take into account, it can be a little overwhelming in early playthroughs, but the way you can redefine your entire game plan on the fly, pivoting money-making dynamos into diplomatic powerhouses and research giants is also Humankind's greatest masterstroke.

The creators of the Cicret Bracelet are also in the process of developing the Cicret App. The younger generation expressed mainly one genuine concern, “So will everyone be able to see what I do online? It looks like it’s hard to hide if you want to type a message in private!” said 14-year-old Dhanya Lim from Sunway International School. Neil Louis from Subang Jaya said, “It seems like a great idea, but will it cause our skin any damage in the long run? I know we won’t be on it the whole day, but if the projector is that bright wouldn’t it cause damage to the skin?”Ī few others were curious about how long the battery life would actually hold up, expressing how they have had bad experiences with small gadgets that cost a fortune but don’t last that long due to lack of durability and weak battery life. However, not everyone feels the same way about it. It would all be right there on our wrist, at our convenience.

Synchronization over USB cable, Bluetooth, cellular networks, portable Wi-Fi hotspot I don’t think the Pro version is worth the price tag but if you do, you are always welcome to upgrade to it.Synchronization over USB Cable, Bluetooth, cellular networks, portable Wi-Fi hotspot If you are looking for a good personal data management system, you may want to give EssentialPIM a try. The fact that you can easily sync your data between your Android/iPhone devices with the information on your computer is extremely helpful as well. It will help keep you better organized, and that is the whole point of this program. CONCLUSION AND DOWNLOAD LINKĭespite the fact that it is lacking a few features I would have liked to use, the free version of EssentialPIM is perfect for most people. However, that does not take away from the free version in the least - it is still great. So, this means that I am stuck with the free version, which is lacking some features I would have really liked to use. Not only that, but I don’t think that the Pro version is worth $40. For example, the ability to post notes to your desktop does not feel like a feature I should have to pay for. That being said, I would have really liked to see some of the Pro features included in the free program. It is pretty easy to use and does not take long to learn your way around.

This means that this program is truly portable as it can remind you of tasks you need to complete, even when you are away from your computer. Of course, my favorite thing about the program is the fact that it can be synced with your iPhone or Android. On top of that, you can also use it as your daily calendar and planner. It can be used to manage your mail, contacts, notes, passwords and tasks. For now, let’s cover what you get when you download the free version of this program.ĮssentialPIM Free has a lot to offer despite the fact that it is completely free. As you can guess, the Pro version offers more features (we will get to those in a second). There is the free version and the Pro version. Now, EssentialPIM actually comes into two different versions. However, I don’t like going by what others say, let’s check it out for ourselves. The fact that it is supported by a pretty big online community is further proof that people love this program.
