Projects, Web 2.0 and online writing...

From 24.04-30.04.11. I got new information about projects. At the beginning I didn't understand, what interesting we could learn in this unit, because S-s do projects in different subjects and in English, too.But I discovered that it is other kind of project- using learning technologies as a way of creating partnership with different schools in other countries.So it is great opportunity to motivate S-s to acquire English better. I liked suggested examples of projects very much. It develops writing , reading skills. There are many benefits participating in such kind of projects.
From 01.05.-07.05.11. I learned about using the interactive Web 2.0 in the classroom and online writing for S-s and teachers. As I haven't used it with my S-s yet, it was something new for me. I found out what is Web 2.0, how to use it in classroom. I discovered that Web 2.0 technology can be useful effectively to engage learners in motivating and useful language learning activities. As I use blogs, I only revised what I knew and I got some new ideas how to use in teaching process. I found out that blogs are used not only for articles, opinions, we can use video, audio and other images to be published.
