Great Blog, Ariela!

Hi again,
I'd like you to go back to my blog (you can do so by clicking on my name) and see that you can answer the comments on your blog. This is very useful when you have only one blog for the whole class. Students can read your feedback on the blog itself, isn't it great?

Hope to see a lot more next time I visit your blog, and remember some fun is also very much appreciated!

I mean, you should look for widgets with games as well, don't you think?

C U soon,

Miss Pato

Hi again,

I know you all finished a little puzzled about bookmarking this morning (that's how to mark a web site as favourite and make a list of all your favourites online or in your computer).

Trying to learn more I found these great tutorials on the use of delicious (one of the bookmarkers I recommended):

Hope they help you understand what it is and what it is for.

Hugs,

Me again!

I forgot to tell you this morning that another good 'feeder' (another name for bookmarker) is Google Reader.
This is a video tutorial for Google Reader:

Miss Ari,

Why don't you visit this blog http://dvmunca.blogspot.com/?

Daniela Munca has been using blogs and wikis for her classes for quite a time now and this one in particular is about American Culture.

She's working with ESL students. See how she's very careful at the posting, but students write whatever they want and mistakes are not an issue, the issue is communication.

Maybe you can make your students comment in the blog and invite them to see yours and this way establish a communicative feedback between the groups. Wouldn't that be great?!

Just my 2 cents.
