Third week's reflections

During this week we worked on Oral skill- building websites, social bookmarking and explored projects developed by former students.

I read different articles about CALL for listening, speaking and pronunciation and explored websites which can be used by teachers and students in class to develop oral skills. I participated in the discussions in Nicenet and checked some links and web tools. I found the online speaking lesson plans interesting and varied so the teacher can adapt those materials to suit students' needs. I included some websites on my blog and bookmarked some others in Delicous. As I mentioned in Nicenet, I opened an account in Delicious last year but I prefer DIIGO because it gives me the possibility of highlighting websites, including comments and sticky notes.

It was a great idea to show sample project reports from past Webskills classes. I got an idea of what we are expected to do and shared my views with my classmates.

All in all, I think this week was full of resources and I'm learning a lot from my classmates. This is what I call a learning community. Happy to be part of it!
