In the first post of my new series “My PLN says…”, I will share some selections from the last week of January and the first week of February. I’ve realized that this series will make me keep a closer and more frequent look at the resources and ideas shared by my PLN, which is great!
-#edchats-
Attending educational chats was one my new year’s resolutions. Sometimes I have difficulty in following the calendar of educational chats. cybraryman1 who is one of the great resource sharers in my PLN tweeted a link to the list of Educational Chats and some info about how to follow them on his great web site.
-Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?-
Shaunwilden recommended a flash ‘who wants to be a millionaire’ quiz maker . I enjoyed it a lot! First you download it, then go to the web site again, make your own game and save it as a .txt file on your computer. It should be in the same folder where the .exe file is. When you run the application, you just enter the name of the file that you created and here is your game!
-iPad on Twitter-
-Great work by a 7th grader-
I am fascinated by a tutorial video tweeted bydavidwees . He tweeted a link to a blog post about a 7th grade student called Wendy who produced a video with her teacher about how she uses the social Web 2.0 tools to organize her school work. Amazing, isn’t it?
-A Published Study on the Impact of ICT and New Media on Language Learning-
animajar tweeted a link to a study on the impact of ICT and new media on language learning. I think every language teacher should read it. Click here for the links to the study.
-How To Say That Name.com-
evab2001 shared this link last week. On this web site, you can hear the correct pronunciation of thousands of names. It is very useful if you’re not sure about how to pronounce a friend’s or colleague’s name. By the way I am really looking forward to meeting Marisa f2f at the ISTEK conference in Istanbul!
That is all for the first post of ‘My PLN Says…’. Stay tuned for the next:-)
