Workshop Nov - Dec 2010

José Luis Cabello (Spain) invited me to co-moderate the first online workshop in the ITE NING group "Lenguas Extranjeras"

The workshop is in Spanish language. It is free and intended for teachers of all languages with little experience in the use of Web 2.0 tools. It will last 5 weeks and here is the syllabus:

1st Week     Collaborative Web 2.0 tools
2nd Week    Sharing tools
3rd Week     Presentations
4th Week     Asynchronous voice tools
5th Week     Language learning activities using online resources

We use the NING group to discuss about different topics connected to the use of Web 2.0 tools in the language class and we'll have a chat session per week. We have also opened a wiki to upload reading material and videos.

We bookmark online resources and tweet ideas and opinions using the hashtag #taac.
