2. Homework Assignments
using Web 2.0.
by Ana María Menezes, Brazil
Web 2.0 has influenced the way we
teach. What about homework
assignments? Do you assign the
same kind of homework you used to
have as a student decades ago?
Homework can involve much more
than reading and writing. 2

9. Teacher’s feedback:
• ¡Me encantó la charla! ..importante es "ACEPTAR" que nuestros
alumnos son distintos a nosotros, que tienen otras habilidades! Y
que si un no tiene la capacidad de adaptarse a ellos, está OUT!!! Y
sobre todo se pierde un aparte muy importante del proceso de
enseñanza-aprendizaje que es la de la creatividad!!! (Fiorella M. del
Instituto Cultural Argentino Británico)
• ¡Gracias Nelba por traer a Maria Menezes ayer a la Escuela! ¡Su
charla fue espectcaular! No veo la hora de volver a casa y poner en
practica sus tips!!! :) Muy practica y explicativa, excelente! (Soledad
I. de la Escuela de Lenguas UNLP)
