Hello people !!

A big virtual hello to all you Didactique-bloggers,

I strongly believe that the world's growing more and more virtual with each passing day. As future teachers, you will be expected to be at ease using a few tools on the Internet, you will be expected to help your students know, understand and if possible, appreciate these tools .....

Let's hope that the practical approach we will be adopting this semester will allow you to master just a few basic things ...

Happy blogging and happy podcasting ... :-)

Let the fireworks begin !!!!!

Voicethreads

Please do not forget to add an activity at the end of your stories, an activity that you could suggest for other teachers to try out if they were to use your story.
After "THE END" of your story, you will need one slide in which you explain the activity that you suggest that students do and one slide where you actually DO the activity (video, photos, etc).... 
Good luck

Dont forget....

1. To mention in one introductory paragraph for EACH podcast written activity WHERE you have taken the podcast from: university, speaker, duration of the podcast.

 2. To dedicate one entire blog entry to all the new vocabulary (and/or pronunciation) that you have learnt over the course of the semester.

3. That your final blog entry will be a reflective one where you will think about your own learning of English. You will enlist the difficulties you encountered, steps you had to take to overcome those difficulties. Do you think your language improved? If so, how?

Deadlines closing in ....


Hello everyone, hope you have been consistently working on your tasks.
This is a quick reminder of your fast approaching deadlines. 
You should have finished your first 'stories through Voicethread' by this week.
You will submit your final 'stories through Voicethread' next week. 
Moreover, your last task with podcasts, which I will be grading, should be put online by the 22nd of April, 2012.
Just a couple of weeks more and then you're done..... with 'Teaching méthodologies' in the least!

Boys who hate writing

Its easier to teach students who LIKE doing something... what when someone doesn't??
Read Web 2.0 for Rookies to understand what I'm talking about
