“How would I use blogs, wikis and delicious
with
my EFL students?”
In my opinion, I think using different social networks and book marketing such
as; Blogger, Wiki space and Delicious,
will help EFL students in so many ways. Nowadays, using technology in education
become more important and very useful for deliver information to EFL students in easy and
enjoyable way. For me, if I become a teacher of EFL students I will use these sites to develop them in different
ways as I'll explain that below;
Blogger
Blogger
is a blog-publishing service that
allows private or multi-user blogs with time-stamped entries. Blog is one of the very good and useful tools
for students. I would like to teach my students first, how they can be use it.
Second, ask them to create an account and following each others. Third, ask them to write posts and add comments
for each other's without copy and paste. I think by using this way they will
learn faster how to communicate with others and how to connect with any teachers or students
of English around the world. Also, they can share their ideas with others confidently.
Wikispaces
Wikispaces
is a hosting service -sometimes
called a wiki farm-. I would use wiki with
my students and first, I will teach them how to use it and how to create an
account in it. Second, ask them to divide
themselves to a group works and give them tasks and activities related to the
subject. So, every group
should work together and then I will ask them to put their works on wiki group
link –e- profiles side.
Delicious
Delicious
is a social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing, and discovering web bookmarks. I would like to use it with my students. First, I will teach my students how to use it. Second,
ask them to make their own Delicious so they can bookmark the important
websites and share them with their classmates. Third, ask them to bookmark articles and links that relate to teaching skills; speaking,
listening, reading, and writing to become better in English.
I am glad that you find the tools useful. I like how you introduced the tools, very briefly and then added some ideas of how to use them.
