if you're an EL/CL/ML/TL/any other language teacher and seeking ideas to "web2.0" your language classrooms, check out this resource put together by Alan Levine. the idea's not too difficult:
change the tool as often as you like and you can plan unlimited ways (use a different story prompt, coupled with different media, and when more and more tools' made available) of getting students to tell/write stories the whole year round (:
if you need an example of how it can be done, take a look at Alan's 50+ Ways to Tell the Dominoe Story.
enjoy (:
saw this in another feed, Will's looking for good examples of student blogs in the classroom, with blogging as defined by "writing that has “Links with analysis and synthesis that articulates a deeper understanding or relationship to the content being linked [to] and written [about] with potential audience response in mind.”
read the post and the many useful feedback which fellow teachers/educators have left under Will's post.
if you happen to have some good examples to share, you can leave your comments with Will's post for all the share too :)
