Resources+for+us

I thought on this page we could add the links or artifacts that may be useful to help our students. They can be examples, past projects, articles...anything we can use as a model,emulate or reflect upon when implementing our ideas.

Here's the voicethread I mentioned on Skype -I thought it would be cool to do three or four in different languages, since we have quite a range of languages spoken by members (Ellen Pham created this one for one of her classes some time ago and has given me permission to share it here)

Here's a very interesting video from a 7th grader explaining and showing how she uses the Internet as a Personal Learning Environment (PLE)

S.Ch., a teacher from France, shared the link to a wiki a colleague of hers used in a similar project (two classes from different continents working together

http://globalconnect.wikispaces.com/

She also shared a link to the recording of a conference: (Bia)
 * "How to use a Wiki for Transatlantic Collaboration" (**the page is in German and I haven't located the recording yet, but I can see titles in Spanish as well, so please don't be discouraged if you can't speak German. Keep scrolling down and today, at least, the title of the presentation is the last one on the page) You can also go straight to the recording here Clicking on the link will start Adobe connect (it's much faster setting up than Elluminate). On the page in German there are links to recordings that may be useful as well like The use of Mp3 in the classroom

I love Plain English videos -Do you think including this one, for example, could help students understand why they may want to network and how they can do it? (Bia) Actually, that's what I like most about Plain English videos; they show you the rationale. Then we can move on to tutorials as well, but I think understanding the purpose goes a long way towards arousing and sustaining motivation. media type="custom" key="5411497"

Here's a SlideShare presentation on using Moodle -the highlights for me are: why Moodle is a good VLE, and links to free hosted Moodle sites.
