technorati resources

Hello everybody :-)

Sorry I have been absent for a while, but have been completely absorbed by work. I have kept on reading you, however, and it is always so stimulating to read comments and reflections from you all. Thanks, Tesol Cop blog-mates! :-))

I have browsed through technorati, as Annafranca suggested, with different words: EIL/ELF, cooperative learning, learning styles, and found different materials, blogs, videos, though not all particularly useful in my opinion.

Two have attracted my attention:

one on cooperative learning, as it has been produced by students after a research of CL

and this could be an idea of how to exploit this resource in the classroom, with CL work or with project work, as a final product

the other is about learning styles, and I have found it interesting as it is addressed to parents in order to create awareness about differences in the ways of learning

I have tried to insert the video directly, as skillful Dani has done, but has not managed it: how do you do it?

As concerning the question on how students see it, I agree that a survey would be a very good idea - it could also perhaps be attached to a project using blogs for didactic activities, so learners would have an idea of what it is like: what do you think?

All the best
