Web 2.0 resources

-
Great class last night! I enjoyed going through some resources that I have used, and I hope you will take some time to play with them. These resources really do take time to figure out, and the more you play with them, the easier they get to use.

Please play some more with these sites. Some of these sites are now "pay per use" whereas when I first started using them, they were free. So if you don't want to pay or use them, don't worry about it. Just go and look at something else.

Have fun!

    Great list! I was just about to embark on setting up a Pinterest account. Once I get going, you'll probably never see me again :)

    Thanks Marc for providing many teaching resources that are fun for students to explore! The many educational resources will be useful such as surveys, forms, quizzes, and questionnaires to name a few. Also, I like the easy access to educational videos which we can save in the YouTube library to show students and open communication about ESL topics in the virtual world.

The police powers in Canada may be quite different from whichever country the students traveled from. Therefore, it is important to be aware should students have any police interactions. enjoy Cooper

Language Acquisition

-
Hi everyone I hope you are having a great weekend! When the program began, I was researching online about how a teen, Tim Doner, used technology to aid his fluency and accuracy with languages with authentic exposure. For example, the teenager in the clip uses the Internet to draw elements of blended learning before engaging in conversation with others using the foreign language he acquired. In addition, he would also elicit responses for pronunciation by posting YouTube clips of himself and then gets the feedback from native speakers in the chosen foreign language. If you are short for time to watch the whole clip, his learning strategy is in minutes 4:15 to 6:00. I hope you enjoy the clip! https://youtu.be/Km9-DiFaxpU

Criminal Record Checks

Great news class that I wanted to share. Linda Vanderheide, my supervisor whom you met, has confirmed that those of you with existing valid criminal record checks can use them for our practicum. In her recent email to me, she said, "  Yes, TESOL students with active Criminal Records checks can use them with our school.  However they have to use the SHARING FORM.  Here is a link: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/ content/safety/crime- prevention/criminal-record- check/sharing-results So that is great news for our class. If you have any questions about this process, we can talk more about it soon. I have never used this sharing link before. But I will do the best to answer questions and help you out.  Marc
