Nik Peachey's curator insight, July 1, 2014 11:59 AM

Interesting visual bookmarking site that allows you to create 'channels' of content that you can share with specific users. Looks like a nice tool for collecting materials for student projects, webquests or SOLE.

Juan Fernández's curator insight, July 2, 2014 3:36 AM

It could be used, for example, to share resources and material for your students.

Sonya Kew's curator insight, July 2, 2014 1:48 PM

Another alternative is always good.  I think people need to find the one that works for them.

Patty Ball's insight:

Active learning is a general term that describes an approach to teaching, rather than a specific methodology, which engages students in the learning process. There are a variety of strategies to promote this engagement such as group work, inquiry exercises, and brainstorming activities. All of these strategies share the common trait of shifting the responsibility for learning from the instructor to the student by encouraging the student to be an active participant in the exploration of learning objectives.

That little sheet of paper that you send off to potential employers? Yeah, it isn’t your resume. Nowadays, your resume is the entirety of your web presence. To prove my point, let’s look at the original purpose of the resume.
CATHLEEN SLONE's curator insight, June 18, 2013 9:10 AM

Your resume is your homepage. All of your online profiles are a good way to showcase who you are! #innov8u #careers #resume #onlinepresence #socialmedia

Valerie Whitcomb's curator insight, January 28, 2014 9:18 AM

Interesting and partially true.  Lots of our returning and disabled vets that we work with at www.globaltrainingfoundation.org don't even have basic computer skills, much less an online presence.  Nice article for the computer savvy.

Study Educational Technology in English Language Teaching Online

Study Educational Technology in English Language Teaching Online | EdTech Tools | Scoop.it

I’ve long believed that teacher development, especially when it comes to technology, is best done online and over a longer period than can be accomplished with face to face training courses. Online study gives teachers the opportunity to try out new ideas with their students, think things through, and reflect on what they have learned. Working online, they can also grow within a community of teachers from around the world, learn from each other and share their learning experiences.

 

These principles have been at the heart of two new courses I have been developing in partnership with CELT Athens. I will be tutoring these courses from September 2012, so follow the link if you would like to find out more.
