Blogging With Students: Ideas to enhance Communication
The document discusses using blogging to enhance communication with students. It provides ideas for different types of blogs, including blogs focused on connections, content and guidance, collaborating and sharing, promoting dialogue, and personal stories. The document also lists many online tools that can be used for blogging and provides example blog links. It emphasizes that blogging is about getting students involved, motivating higher-order thinking, taking risks and trying new approaches to surprise students.
Instructional Technology: Tools for Teachers
This document discusses various instructional technology tools for teachers including course management systems, study aids, websites, blogs, wikis, podcasts/vodcasts, digital books, digital storytelling, and games/simulations. It provides examples of how each tool can be used, the benefits, and example links. Course management systems can organize materials, manage assignments and grades, and extend learning beyond class time. Study aids like quizzes and flashcards can help students learn vocabulary and prepare for exams. Websites, blogs, and wikis allow for collaboration, communication, and developing real-world skills. Podcasts and vodcasts provide supplemental materials and help auditory learners. Digital books and storytelling engage students through multimedia.
Digital portfolio
Classroom digital portfolios can make learning more accessible, provide assessment beyond grades, and allow feedback and reflection. They enable teachers to identify areas needing attention and show learning over time. Digital portfolios also increase engagement, promote continuous learning conversations, and allow students to showcase skills not on tests.
Educational uses of the internet
This document outlines various educational uses of the internet including online simulations, online learning, online quizzes, collaborative projects, classroom websites, virtual tours, lesson plans, webquests, publishing, and research. Some examples provided are a virtual frog dissection, an animated atlas of US history, online quizzes in different subject areas, collaborative projects on Teacher's Corner, creating a classroom website using Weebly, taking a virtual tour of a dairy farm, finding a voting lesson plan on Scholastic, completing a colonial times webquest, publishing student writing on Edublogs, and using Google to conduct online research.
Blogs in ELT (Final Asssignment for the E-learning and Digital Cultures Course)
This is my final assignment for the E-learning and Digital Cultures course organized by the University of Edinburgh on www.coursera.org in February 2013. The assignment consists of two files. The first file includes a PowerPoint presentation dedicated to the use of blogs and blogging activities in the system of teaching English as a second/foreign language. The second file contains some theoretical materials related to the use of blogs in English language teaching, as well as my meditations and reflections on the use of blogging activities in my actual teaching practice. So both files are related to the same topic - the use of blogs as a form of online writing in the system of teaching English as a second/foreign language. So these materials refer to some extent to several important and up-to-date aspects discussed in the given course as "Communication technologies", "Open (and Opening) Education" and "The Meanings of Learning".
Wikis in Education
This document discusses wikis and their educational uses. It defines a wiki as a web page that allows anyone to edit, modify, or delete content, encouraging interactive collaboration between students and teachers. It then lists several wiki platforms like Pbwiki, Wetpaint, and Wikispaces and provides examples of wikis on each site. Finally, it proposes several project ideas that teachers and students could use wikis for, such as creating classroom newsletters, study guides, book reviews, and collaborative stories.

Wikis in Science-STANSW 2012
This document discusses using wikis for science education. It describes a workshop that will cover why to use wikis, engaging with a wiki, and creating your own wiki. Wikis can be used to manage student learning, allow creative expression, work at an individual pace, and access material when absent. Wikis also enable students to learn from each other and assess knowledge and tech skills. The document provides tips for creating wikis, including digital citizenship pages, learning outcomes, student pages, and permissions. It concludes by asking if students would be more engaged with their own wiki page.
Collaborating On The Internet With Student Wikis
A wiki is a website that allows for collaborative editing by users. It was named by its creator as a reference to the "wiki wiki" shuttle buses at an airport. Key features of wikis include their ability for any user to easily edit or create pages using only a web browser. Wikis are meant for ongoing collaborative creation and change rather than carefully crafted static sites. The document provides several examples of how wikis could be used for collaboration between students, such as writing book reports or poems together, planning projects or events, or keeping in touch after graduation. It also discusses options for organizing student groups for collaborative writing projects on a wiki.

Using Wikipedia for Educational and Teaching Purposes
Wikipedia was one of the fastest growing educational reference sites in September 2005 according to a list that ranked websites based on their growth, approach to presenting learning content, level of user control over interaction, use of multimedia elements in interfaces, and capabilities for saving, printing and enriching content. The list evaluated sites on their way of presentation and structure, approach to learning content, control of interaction, user interface features and multimedia elements, interface appearance and organization, and ability to save, print and enrich content.

With commitment and finding a unique theme, blogs may potentially earn profits through advertising.
Information Skills for the 21st Century
A series of slides that were printed out for a trifold poster for the WFU Teaching and Learning Fair.
Blogs
Blogs can be used in three main ways in education: for class management, discussion, and collaboration. They allow flexibility for students to voice their opinions, promote equity among students, and assess student learning through their blog posts and comments. However, blogs also require considerations for student capabilities, available equipment, and maintenance for long-term sustainability. Educators should design blogs with appropriate page elements and develop guidelines for implementation, including expectations for student behavior and information posting.
