harrisonmike 10:05 PM webtools are interesting as they are like a new level of formality, like a hybrid between spoken and written language #eltchat

AnthonyGaughan 10:51 PM @Shaunwilden feared that :-) hoo- hah about tech too though ;-) #eltchat
ELTExperiences 10:51 PM @sandymillin @DinaDobrou I suppose I have my favourite tools (Grouply, YouTube, Blogger, etc) that I use but ask sts for ideas #ELTChat
DinaDobrou 10:51 PM @sandymillin By "them" I mean both the tools AND the sts! :P #ELTchat
AnaCristinaPrts 10:51 PM @sandymillin RE tools - depends on sts & level; sts need learning confidence; when ready, then I introduce new tool. #ELTchat
hartle 10:51 PM RT @harrisonmike: Surely stimulating...#eltchat why shd they be flashy, & not just normal part ot yr equipment. Is a CD player flashy?
Marisa_C 10:51 PM @sandymillin I think Bloom's digital taxonomy is a good guide for this - includes all levels of learning and relates Web 2.0  #ELTChat
sandymillin 10:52 PM RT @hartle: RT @harrisonmike: Surely stimulating...#eltchat why shd they be flashy, & not just normal part ot yr equipment. Is a CD player flashy?
ELTExperiences 10:52 PM @Catherineku1972 Well I don't mind, it taught me how not to teach a language.  Very valuable experience. #ELTChat
harrisonmike 10:52 PM @hartle relatively flashy... didn't mean all ip0ddy and that. for me the flashy can be flipchart paper and coloured pens! #eltchat
AnaCristinaPrts 10:52 PM @sandymillin #ELTchat different tools 4 different skills & purposes as well.
Marisa_C 10:52 PM Dogme is NOT our topic good folks can you talk about our topic :-( #ELTchat
Shaunwilden 10:53 PM @harrisonmike Good point, it goes back to this must use tech attitude that some have - when tech may not be the best way #ELTchat
sandymillin 10:53 PM @harrisonmike have had about 50/50 success rate with introducing tech tools. it's my research topic for #iatefl #eltchat
ELTExperiences 10:53 PM So what are the best website for creating a Web 2.0 presence with your sts? Any recommendations? #ELTChat
hartle 10:53 PM RT @sandymillin: Do you return...#eltchat each course has blog or wiki, & yes I have favourites like favourite activities but open to new.
AnthonyGaughan 10:53 PM RT @Catherineku1972 #ELTChat: Wow, there is a name for the way I teach. Dogme! I wondered if it had a followin… (cont) http://t.co/YRNPuIn
Catherineku1972 10:53 PM #ELTChat, more on topic... Blogging student projects and videos on our YouTube channel inspires great participation and efforts in language.
harrisonmike 10:53 PM Anyone said how web2.0 tool can sometimes NOT help stimulate students and create a good atmosphere? Just checking... #eltchat
Shaunwilden 10:53 PM @AnthonyGaughan Oh yes I've said that many times. We spend  far 2 much time spent on arguing both sides of the divide but it's fun #ELTchat
ELTExperiences 10:54 PM @sandymillin Thank you.  Any other websites to promote Web 2.0 people? #ELTChat
DinaDobrou 10:54 PM Have we mentioned Skype #ELTchat It's a great tool I intend to use a lot this term. #ELTchat
bethcagnol 10:54 PM @DinaDobrou Thanks. :-) #ELTChat @ELTExperiences Sure...Speak soon.
harrisonmike 10:54 PM @Shaunwilden If I have something break, I'll not go back to it. e.g. not gonna use wallwisher this year #eltchat
bcnpaul1 10:54 PM RT @Shaunwilden: @harrisonmike Good point, it goes back to this must use tech attitude that some have - when tech may not be the best way #ELTchat
sandymillin 10:54 PM @ELTExperiences i use edmodo.com to link everything together - everything posted on there and SS really like it #ELTChat
Catherineku1972 10:54 PM #ELTChat We use MP3 players to record weekly pronunciation practices. Students all ask, "Can I do it again, I didn't sound right." WoW!
Catherineku1972 10:55 PM @ELTChat  May I promote my own Web 2.0 site?
AnaCristinaPrts 10:55 PM RT @DinaDobrou: Have we mentioned Skype #ELTchat It's a great tool I intend to use a lot this term. #ELTchat
harrisonmike 10:55 PM @hartle definitely! =) #eltchat
harrisonmike 10:55 PM @alezavrill take screen captures as evidence instead of a written piece of paper #eltchat google digital portfolios or e portfolios
sandymillin 10:55 PM What I mean is: do you take ONE tool and give SS tasks of increasing 'difficulty' so that they can see progress? #eltchat (hard 2 word!)
hartle 10:55 PM RT @harrisonmike: @hartle  #eltchat coloured pens very flashy, especially if U have gold sparkly ones! It's what youbdo eith them, isn't it?
Marisa_C 10:55 PM @harrisonmike Not always a bed of roses Mike - as u know ...  #eltchat
harrisonmike 10:56 PM @DinaDobrou if the tool is not reliable, then it's not 100% fit for my classroom #eltchat
ELTExperiences 10:56 PM @sandymillin I suppose one tool is better than too many - can reverberates chaos outside of class. #ELTChat
bcnpaul1 10:56 PM @harrisonmike I'm the same. broken stuff leads to stop-starty lessons with no dynamic (wallwisher a good e.g.) #eltchat
Marisa_C 10:56 PM @sandymillin I think your first job as a lang teacher is to look at linguistic complexity of tasks and relate to approp Web 20 tool #eltchat
Shaunwilden 10:56 PM @ELTExperiences Surely that depends on how much if any presence they want? #ELTchat
DinaDobrou 10:57 PM @harrisonmike Wallwisher crashes. True. Try linoit or posterous. Gr8 for brainstorming. #ELTchat
Marisa_C 10:57 PM @AnaCristinaPrts Nice idea to let them into scoop.it and curate their own topics #ELTchat
harrisonmike 10:57 PM @alezavrill print off a page of the screen shots? #eltchat my sympathies in dealing with bureaucracy
hartle 10:57 PM RT @sandymillin: What I mean is: do you take ONE tool and give SS tasks...Definitely: eg. essential 4 Voicethread #eltchat
AnaCristinaPrts 10:57 PM @ELTExperiences #ELTchat  why not let them curate? sts read topic they like; g8 tool 4 projects & teachers keep track of plagiarism
Marisa_C 10:57 PM @Raquel_EFL  #ELTCHAT I think you and @harrisonmike are right that rapport is more important than Web 2.0 #ELTchat
anna_whitcher 10:57 PM RT @Marisa_C: @sandymillin I think your first job as a lang teacher is to look at linguistic complexity of tasks and relate to approp Web 20 tool #eltchat
hdickens 10:58 PM RT @AnaCristinaPrts: #ELTchat Bookr is also g8 4 sts to write & publish a short story with images. Very motivating 4 lower levels.
ELTExperiences 10:58 PM Great demonstration of using Web 2.0 with sts outside of class - http://j.mp/ruvH0Q #ELTChat
Catherineku1972 10:58 PM #ELTChat http://t.co/hZhKHXy It is mostly for WL teachers, but all tools can be used by ELT as well!
sandymillin 10:58 PM RT @DinaDobrou: e.g. I started blogging w/ thm last acad.year. This year I intend to post challenges with vimeo interviews for ex. #eltchat
Marisa_C 10:58 PM RT @DinaDobrou: @harrisonmike Wallwisher crashes. True. Try linoit or posterous. Gr8 for brainstorming. #ELTchat> true
Shaunwilden 10:58 PM RT @Raquel_EFL: RT @Marisa_C: @Raquel_EFL  #ELTCHAT I think you and @harrisonmike are right that rapport is more important than Web 2.0 #ELTchat   >> YAY!!!
bcnpaul1 10:59 PM RT @alezavrill: Standardization is one of the biggest knowledge and learning murderers. #ELTchat > ken robinson's talk backs this up well
DinaDobrou 10:59 PM @bcnpaul1 bye Paul. CU soon! :) #ELTchat
harrisonmike 10:59 PM @Marisa_C @DinaDobrou even lino it is a bit more complicated to use, posterous blocked by web filters at my college =( #eltchat
bcnpaul1 10:59 PM what a nice gentle re-introduction to twitter #eltchat is!! :) bye for now... thanks for the chats
alezavrill 10:59 PM @harrisonmike definitely. Standardization is one of the biggest knowledge and learning murderers. #ELTchat
AnaCristinaPrts 11:00 PM @Marisa_C @DinaDobrou @harrisonmike #ELTchat titan is also good for brainstorming or collaborative tasks
Shaunwilden 11:00 PM RT @DinaDobrou: @harrisonmike @Marisa_C Think positive: It's not complicated, it's just different and you need to give it more time. lol #ELTchat
DinaDobrou 11:00 PM @harrisonmike @Marisa_C Think positive: It's not complicated, it's just different and you need to give it more time. lol #ELTchat
Shaunwilden 11:00 PM @harrisonmike @Marisa_C @DinaDobrou I never found it that much more complicated, it has the bonus you can use it on your smartphone #ELTchat
ELTExperiences 11:00 PM @harrisonmike @Marisa_C @DinaDobrou edmodo appears to be popular with many twitter people. #ELTChat

harrisonmike 11:01 PM @Shaunwilden tis a little bit, remember I'm talking about sts who haven't used a mouse before #eltchat (cc @DinaDobrou @Marisa_C)
Shaunwilden 11:02 PM @Raquel_EFL Very poetic :-) #ELTchat
ELTExperiences 11:02 PM @DinaDobrou @harrisonmike @Marisa_C I haven't used it yet but I will with my new Biz group. #ELTChat
devalyne 11:02 PM RT @Marisa_C: @harrelldewayne Create a student festival at end of year for each group to present projects #ELTchat Invite parents too
DinaDobrou 11:02 PM @Shaunwilden @harrisonmike @Marisa_C Aha...I didn't know that! Thanx! #ELTchat

Shaunwilden 11:02 PM RT @Marisa_C: @harrisonmike I think a teacher's passion and conviction of benefits of sth transmits itselt to Ss - so be very convinced ! #eltchat
AnaCristinaPrts 11:02 PM @Marisa_C @DinaDobrou @harrisonmike #ELTchat Voxopop can substitute WallWisher with oral brainstorming
Marisa_C 11:02 PM @harrisonmike I think a teacher's passion and conviction of benefits of sth transmits itselt to Ss - so be very convinced ! #eltchat
DinaDobrou 11:02 PM @ELTExperiences @harrisonmike @Marisa_C Haven't used it...yet! :D I'll have a look. #ELTchat
DinaDobrou 11:03 PM @harrisonmike That's a valid point then. #ELTchat
ELTExperiences 11:03 PM Tech is a tool for prompting rapport, but classroom interaction is more important for developing rapport. #ELTChat
Marisa_C 11:03 PM @harrisonmike POssibly then steer clear of what does not convince u - Web 2.0 is an option not an aim  #eltchat
