WEEK 3. DELICIOUS

I always faced difficulties with storing web sites. As I have never heard about Delicious I wrote a message with copied and pasted links in the content of the message and sent it again to my e-mail then saved it into separate file inside my mail. That was the way I had my favourite links always with me.
Some useful links I keep on my web site on teachnology.com but it is so time consuming to update the site for me. So you can imagine how I am glad to have Delicious with me!
My address on Delicious is http://delicious.com/nilufarb70

The reason why I like Delicious.com:
1. Even if I kept my links in my e-mail box using Delicious.com saves me steps to find my links because I do not open e-mail, find file with links, open it and then find necessary one and follow it.
2. Delicious.com is your mini search engine where using tags you may easily find appropriate link.
3. You are able to see ho many people saved this link for their bookmark (following link http://www.uoregon.edu/~dhealey/techtips/sept2009.html I found a former student who took our course as well in Fall 2009- Shaima)
4. You may sort links either by date or in alphabetical order
5. Display 10, 25, 50, or 100 bookmarks per page

    Hello !
    Wow! you are really fast to write what you did in week 3 because it has just begun but you have already done your blog. ;o)As for me, I do really live Celicious.com too. It is such a wonderful site that I have never known before. Yes, I sometimes saved the sites and then sent them to my email also. However, I finished my Delicious address and found that it is easy now to have my favorite websites with me everywhere!
    Congratulation for us!

    Best Wishes from Thailand
    Garunyawun ;o)

    Hello!

    I totally agree with your idea that delicious.com is really helpful. For the first time in my life I am not afraid that I might ever lose my bookmarks. You made a wonderful description of the advantages of the site.

    Let's keep up our great work here and continue sharing our ideas!

    Congrats for the post - quick and accurate!

    All the best,
    Nadina - Romania

    Hi Nilufar,

    I guess all of us got to know, use and like DELICIOUS. Just like you, I also used to save my favourite bookmarks (and other resources like PDF or word files) on my e-mail. Delicious serves better options and is really well, though simply, organized. I am a fan of clear, orderly tools and Delicious is unquestionably one of them!

    Regards,
    Joanna

    Dear Garunyawun, Nadinne and Joanna.
    Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving your wishes and comments here.
    Your supprt is so valuable for me, because sometimes I get lost searching virtual space which leads me deeper and deeper to other sites and links.
    You and all my colleagues help me to cope with challenges during the course.
    Let us keep up good work and receive as much as we are able from it .

    Bests,
    Nilufar

WEEK 9 REFLECTION

This week we have to try different tools and implement them into our practice. Even though Deborah told us to work with one option but I would like to try them all and created both site for my students and nicenet class for teachers whom I train these days. In addition to these sites for collaboration we were given sites to create fun and intersting activities for our classes. I made several bingo games and an on-line crossword. Both these activities are on the same topic - my project one - "British Festivals" Another activity we should do was to complete the survey. It gave me food for thought and I decided to create a survey for my teachers of ETTE project by British Council. I am still working on it and hope to publish a link to it after completing. Survey was another very useful tool for me as a teacher. What I really worry about is my project feed back and report...

WEEK 4 REFLECTION

"Reading makes a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man." Francis Bacon DISCUSSION. This week was devoted to studying reading and writing improvement with the help of CALL. We have read several articles related to this topic. Here are links to some of them: http://www.udel.edu/ETL/RWN/Encourage.html This site provides with ideas of using TV, newspaper, telephone books, maps to stimulate reading Renee Ybarra in his article Using Technology to Help ESL/EFL Students Develop Language Skills(http://iteslj.org/Articles/Ybarra-Technology.html) says that first of all when students use e-mail writing they can see what a native speaker has written while answering, then scroll up and down through the message which is visually helps them. Students get self-motivated to write in a new for them way and to communicate with a real native speaker and get a real respond. Often, the students need to feel confident in their new language before putting it into print. So he

WEEK 5 REFLECTION

The biggest achievement of mine surinf this week is understanding deeper what WebQuest is and creating my own one on www.zunal.com for the 2nd year students of Geography Faculty in our Andijan State University. The crucial elements are enumerated on given above web site. They should contain 1. Introduction 2. Task 3. Information sources 4. Process 5. Guidance 6. Conclusion Thinking about WebQuests I have come to conclusion that the best example of the long term WebQuiest is our DL course due to which we all have created this blog. Why? Because by the end of the course we will have analyzed a bodu of knowledge deeply, transform it according to our class needs and demonstrate an understanding of the material by creating the project task as it follow in the author’s definition of a long term webquest. I have looked through a lot of projects designed to learn Enlish and some ideas related to my issues described in my previous week came to my mind. I will try to realize them I have some tro
