How would English language teachers use blogs, wikis and delicious with their students?

 

 

Technology is new tool for teachers to teach the language, also for students to learn on their own. It's very useful and makes the lessons more interesting. It will be very helpful if the teachers make their students use different type of interacting websites such as wikis, blogs, and delicious.

 

 

 

Blog is discussion site that the blogger write a post on it and the others comment on his posts. This site is very helpful in improving the students' writing skill. The teacher can ask her students to create their own blog and post their assignments, diaries, ideas and comment on others posts.  And when they receive a good feedback from the teacher and their colleagues, their writing will improve for sure and that will make them create new and intelligent ideas.

 

Wiki is a website that allows teachers and their students (or any group of people) to share ideas, videos, works, and links together. Also allows all users of that group to edit any page or to create new pages. This website will help them to know what teamwork means.  The teacher can post the assignments on wiki and ask the students to get it and submit it there, also ask them to edit their profiles. The teacher can ask them to do some research as a group and post it on their page.

 

 

 

Delicious is social bookmarking web service that use for storing, sharing, and discovering web bookmarks. It helps us to get our bookmarks wherever and whenever we are even if we are not using our laptops. The teacher can ask the students to add useful links and other links they want, and tell them that the links with most hits are powerful and of course they will find what they looking for in such these links.
