Week 3

I love web 2.0 and during week 3 we have started to explore web 2.0 tools such as delicious! I find it really useful especially when researching. Sometimes, we feel overwhelmed because of a lot of sites and information we find on the web, but now we can get organized, survey pages, save the important ones to eventually read what is really worthy for our purposes! So, isn´t it amazing?

I used to save my favorites on my computer but now I think it´s no useful, got to bring my PC everywhere :/ So with delicious I can access my bookmarks wherever I go without having to start searching all over again! :)

Besides, I can share my pages and help some other people on the web!

It´s great that this course gave me a shout out to remind me about this amazing tool! I had forgotten it!

During this week we are also working on lesson plans concerning aural/oral skills! I love Larry Ferlazzo´s blog! he is an edublog winner and I have learned a lot checking all the sites and tools he proposed! really nice resource for this week reading material:)

Still cathing up with my week 3 tasks xD keep you posted guys :)

Week 2 (In progress)

Well, now it is time to talk about week 2. hmmm so far, I have just completed one post in the first discussion thread, it means I already checked the noodletools and tried some search engines.

I must say, the tools I tried do not cover my expectations so far, at least, not for my purposes. Of course, I have to continue practicing and reading more about all of them. I am kind of lazy right now and I just tried sweetsearch, iseek and surfwax and I still prefer google xD. Mr know-it-all google hehehe...Altough, sweetsearch, as it offers background of topics, gives short, concise and essential information that may help people that is just looking for concepts, definition or the big picture of the topic. That´s what I liked the most.

Even though, I think this week content is pretty important for teachers applying ICT tools to their teaching practice since a good use of search engines might enable us a good selection of resources, content and information to design materials, digital resources or even digital courses.

Still working on my week 2 task, so keep you posted people...xD

Week 1

Hi there,

I got to say, I have been so anxious about really starting blogging. I used to have some blogs but no so much on them...So, this is a great start for me! =)

During this week, I have interacted with people who are far far away from my country, but, It´s nice to realize we have similar points of view concerning teaching!
I have also explored more functions of this blog application that maybe new, or at least, I din not know how to use them.

I am really excited about all what is coming in this course. To start, Nicenet is completely new for me because I am used to working with moodle courses...So, let´s see what it has for me =)
