•
1 like•432 views
The document summarizes a presentation about using curation and social networking to support the development of pre-service language teachers. It discusses the challenges of pre-service CALL (computer-assisted language learning) teacher education, and describes a course at Nice University where students created curation websites using Scoop.it and Google sites. The students curated resources on language teaching and learning topics. Their sites attracted other teachers and remained active after the course. Student feedback indicated the course helped them learn new tools and resources, but some had concerns about privacy, security and tool appropriateness for learners.
