We also went on a boat trop from Tofino, Vancouver Island, and on sea all I saw was a lively activity just under the surface where a goup af whales were feeding seaweed or something tiny.

I'm getting ready to meet in a skype conversation with Lee Baber's grade 8 students. When I was invited some days ago I quickly scanned my memory for good stories to tell totally unknown strangers, then I came up with animals as our conversation topic.I know a list of animal sounds transcribed to the human alphabet in many different languages and I find this is quite fun.I also made a search for

I'm blogging this very post opened from a blue button showing a feather icon, right into my new browser, named Flockr. This is still in alpha mode only, but there will be a first beta release very soon. I cannot yet tell the big difference from using Firefox. The interface looks clean and simple. But I'd rather wait until the beta version to say more.

Kate Britt is still using her old online name Pink Flamingo, and it was how I knew her already in 1999 when the Global Educators' Network started, with asynchronous online discussion seminars every month or so. The dear Flamingo is still actively sharing her very inspiring list of resources, and now I see that she also keeps a blog to showcase the newest added resources. Looks like a good

Hello - I've ben pretty busy the past weeks, experimenting with a pilot course for Danish teacher students at Zahle's Teacher Seminar in Copenhagen. They're heading towards their final exams, but first they had a media project, combined with using online multimedia tools. The web 2.0 tools and strategies were new to themselves as well as their regular teacher, and I was called upon to bring in

Dear colleague,If you teach a foreign/second language and use blogs when doing it, I would really appreciate it if you could spend 5 minutes of your time and fill in my online survey. It's really short, simple and straightforward, and I'm really desperate for some more answers. Your participation is annonymous, the results will be made public, in case anyone is interested.Huge thanks to all of

The annual TESOL conference was held in Tampa this year. You can get a taste of the activities by looking at the rollicking photostory that Cristina Costa from Portugal put together.

Learning language while on a bike trip is blogged by Jane Petring in Quebec. Today I stumbled over a Danish language project -in Minnesota where many Nordic settlers have roots. This place, called Skovsoen, (the forest lake) is offering bike rides as part of the course plan. http://clvweb.cord.edu/prweb/danish/danish.aspI thought it was a fun coincidence, also because Jane actually does speak a

Are you a digital native or a digital immigrant? Are you sure? Do you want to find out? :)I found a very interesting article about digital natives and immigrants by Marc Prensky. You probably have read it, since it was written five years ago. If not, have a look at my blog for some extracts, or read the whole article. Enjoy.

A fifth grade teacher from White bear Lake, Minnesota, Susan Sedro is looking at wikis versus blogs for different purposes, and comparing PBWiki & wikispaces. There are three criteria for this wiki project: readable to families and other schoolclasses, protected from spam but still aloowing comments from outsiders, and trackback of changes, who did what (and eventually find a malicious editor).

Well, As I could eventually post here and I was also able to embed audio to my blog( with the great help of Barbara Dieu!!!)I decided to do something nice.Thus, I chose to record just a little of Walt Whitman´s poem " Song of the Open Road" , which I consider to be a wonderful reflection about how we should see life and ourselves.That´s how I feel in relation to Blogs right now: a challenging

I just couldn't resist. No way. The BubbleShare idea was just too tempting, so I decided to forget about all the other things piled up on my desk. It's like being a boy again who got a brand new toy :-)So, here's a first and very rough attempt on using BubbleShare plus cartoons to make students talk... I could imagine to establish a collaborative blog, give students access to cartoons like that (

Better late than never... It is a pity that the workshop that has turned out to be so fruitful will soon be over. I get a little comfort from the certainty that many blogs & podcasts that were "born" in this workshop will stay and perhaps grow. Hopefully, that will be true for the community. Why not keep the YG platform open? Plus this collaborative blog here, of course.Since some of the

When reading the introduction of a book "We Blog", written by Bausch, Haughey and Hourihan, published in 2002, I found the sentence: 'By the end of the book, you can have a full-fledged weblog customized to your look, sitting at a URL of your choosing, with links, images and HTML-enriched text, managed with

I've been tagging pages in my Del.icio.us for quite a while, and yesterday I saw a neat example on how to add your tag cloud to a blogger blog. It is a Java script going into the blog template and after some trial and error, I made it. It does not look very neat as I used many different tags for different purposes, but at least I now know how to do this I looked at Peter's blog with the lovely

Once you have started using blogs in class, there are so many things to do and learn. One of the ways to learn about blogging in education is to have a look at what other people have already done in their blogs. You are thrilled each time when you come across some good educational blog - no matter whether it is a student's blog, class blog or teacher's blog. It is always useful to come across a

Hi Anna,you're asking how to keep up with your students' blogs? I have a few tips and hoe this is what you're asking for.First of all, create a blogroll in Bloglines. Add the Bloglines button on the toolbar, and open each of your student blogs, adding them to your blogroll in a specific folder that you've created in Bloglines. This will make it possible for you to see any updates on their blogs.

I decided that it would be good pedagogy for me to create a new blog and run through the experiences the other participants are experiencing....and I have learned a lot! Adding numerous pictures is like throwing them up in the air to let the vagaries of chance and wind and other cyber conditions decide how they land. I found I could resize the photos easily, and I could move them a bit, but what

So many new co-bloggers in our workshop have posted links to their new blog today - each of them showing a different location. They're posting a local description of where they live, with photos. As our workshop has more than 150 participants from more about 50 countries all over the world, it is a truly international event.
