Hello, everyone!
I want to share with you with my views about the using various technologies in teaching English.
Using various technologies such as Blogs, Twitter, ARTstor, Prezi do the class more interesting and colourful. For example, Project-Based Learning using Blogs. I divide
my students into groups, assign them a work project and ask them to present
their work in a blog post. They’ll collaborate with each other, contribute
their work and give feedbacks to other groups as well (through comments). With
Blogging, educators improve group activities of students, critical thinking and
peer assessment skills. Blogging is a great tool to implement Project-Based
Learning.
The use of Twitter is
meant to encourage student engagement in the material by having them tweet
about ideas, encounters or information about the art they’re studying in our
class. I want them to construct learning and expressing the understanding of
the ways in which art reflects fundamental human ideas, values, beliefs and
individual course outcomes
ARTstor is an image
database developed to support students, educators and scholars to have visual
imagery to do a research and teaching.
Prezi is a presentation
tool and a cloud-based presentation app that helps educators and students
organize and share your ideas. Prezi is also a virtual whiteboard that
transforms presentations from monologues into conversations: enabling people to
see, understand, and remember ideas.
Thank you!
Best,
Akzhan
Dear Akzhan,
ОтветитьУдалитьI was really amazed to visit your blog for Webskill Course 2014. It's different! So many resources you have listed here. A great help, I must say.
Even you used you own local language to design the blog. It is puzzling but fun. I looked for comment and submit button and initially struggled to find it. As soon as I found the buttons I became proud of my intuitions.
I would definitely like to (re)visit your blog again and again especially for necessary links for resources and tecch tools.

Dear Akzhan,
ОтветитьУдалитьI was glad to read your posts. To me it was a matter of sincronicity.
First, when you mention:
" With Blogging, educators improve group activities of students, critical thinking and peer assessment skills. Blogging is a great tool to implement Project-Based Learning. ". It has provided me with insights to the use of blogs for the course plan I'm working with.
Second, when you mention prezi. After working with power point interactive presentations I was wondering if prezi also has these resources? Is there anything else you can tell me or any link you can suggest for that?
Wishing you an active week 7 and a wonderful closing to the course,
Best, Juliana
