1. Which Web 2.0 tools are we familiar with? Why should we use them in EFL/ESL classrooms? What are their pedagogical value? How can we integrate them into our ELT?
2. Go to Technorati.com and look for the search box there, ( usually on the right top corner of Technorati site). Enter key words relevant to your ELT area, and then see what results you get.
3. Post your feedback on this experience with ideas or ways you may integrate this technology in your classes.

Dear Anna Franca,
...just wish to make clear there was no criticism in my comments.
I'm glad we're trying and using a blog, here and now, to exchange opinins and experiences. That's cool!
Just expected it to be a bit more ...lively?
Luv,
Dani
