Break the silence

It's been a long time since I visited my blog. Well, I just posted something about ME!
Check it out and let me know how you feel.

Closing Thoughts and Podcast

At long last, I have come to the end of an interesting and involving (would it be okay if I call it an engaging or "do it yourself class?) class. I have learnt a lot for the past 3 days. In my goals, I stated that I would love to share my blog with my students and be abreast with them technologically. Yes! I can now say that I'm somehow abreast, no more at sea; I'll have to practise. I now know not only blogging but also wiking, google docs, and podcasting. If I should get the necessary tools, then I'll just sit down but still check and correct each student's work: http://www.apple.com/education/teachers-professors/mobile-learning.htlm, or make my students love to listen to, and creat French podcasts: http://multilingualbooks.com/podcasts-french.html. I have made new friends and learnt a lot from them.

wiki and google docs

I have learnt a lot today!!! Wiki and google docs will be so useful for my french team parents, and students communication. I found these useful sites which can be explored for web20 and French wikis references: http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/fil/pages/listweb20s, http://fr.wikibooks.org/wiki/accuiel, http://www.verb2verbe.com

Flickr!

I have broken a new barrier again. Flickr is a very nice way to save my pixs. From the web2.0 award winners, I also read very interesting views. The image generator is so cool!! The truth is I've learnt a lot while having fun. Thanks Annet.

RSS, go for it!

RSS is a very usefull tool that will surelly save me from going to my favorites, or web search in order to find what is new. Now at a click of a button, I can read the latest news both in the United States, in France, and the whole world. I'm now abreast with time, HOORAAY!!!

I have really learnt a lot today. It is such a great idea to have a blog when I can post my views and read others' views as well. Isn't it nice to be able to tag websites so that it becomes easier to access them easily by my students and other teachers? From today's class, I can now access other teachers' networks and learn more.Who are my fans? I can decide who can be in my network and who cannot. This is a cool class, and I hope to be abreast with my students if not totally, at least I will not be at sea technologically. One problem I need to solve now is how to get my students to write the french accents when they go to my blog. Thanks so much Annet. Would you like to check a nice site for French?

Goals

My main goal for today is to set up a blog where I can post my views/works/previews of lessons taught, so that others can read and express their views too.
I would also like my students to read my blog and post their views or questions about a topic learnt.
I would also like to use the technology morre and be abreast with my students' world.
