The chat, videos, recordings, and interactivity through Anvill are simply spectacular.<br />About Jeff’s point of view not to use technology in class. There are a few pros and cons that should be taken into account. In North America and other countries is common to have a computer by each family, at least. But there is something that we cannot ignore, in my country only a 55% of the population has access to a computer. When many of my students go the Computers ‘classroom they feel really happy.<br />Naturally all this is reflected in the quality of education. I like Nicenet to be used by the easy handling and access too .Anvill is a tool more complex, but excellent to explore and use. <br />I like Moodle. I have just created a class on it. Anvill, Moodle and Nicenet are excellent tools for exploring and use them frequently with our pupils.Felipe Santiagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06763079893163875256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937002576376771876.post-25133838039537969882011-11-06T12:55:02.647-02:002011-11-06T12:55:02.647-02:00Hi Vinicius,

It will be focused on students' writing skills. One of the websites that I plan to use is amazon.com. There students can find different books for their interest and try to write a short essay or introductory paragraph for their favorite book. <br /><br />But, I agree that it is hard to motivate students to work on extra tasks. In my experience till now, they did their online homework and sent it to me by e-mail only when I said that they are going to have extra credits and that they have the opportunity to take higher grades, as Tatsiana said. <br /><br />Keep up the good work and good luck with your project!<br /><br />Bets regards,<br />BlertaBlertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12856838198859799300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937002576376771876.post-39782841216230107262011-11-06T08:20:38.484-02:002011-11-06T08:20:38.484-02:00Hi Viniciuos,

As for the work outside the classroom it's always an issue. You could probably motivate your students by promising them extra credits, higher grades? I tried it myself several times, I can't say it worked every time but I found it quite motivating.<br /><br />Good luck for the next week.<br />TatsianaTatsianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05985666680858199485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937002576376771876.post-75903073355786717102011-11-06T03:54:42.021-02:002011-11-06T03:54:42.021-02:00Hi Vinicious,
I do not know if it is the post or ...Hi Vinicious,<br /><br />I do not know if it is the post or you omitted the links to your WALLWISHER and your project block. Anyway, I think you are doing a good job and you seem focused on the needs of your students as well as the action to be taken to improve their writing skills.<br /><br />Just like you, I have planned my project as an out class activity. As you mention, my concern now is that I cannot force students work on outside class activities. This is going to be a matter of students’ motivation. I think that is another issue to be addressed after/while working on our current projects.<br /><br />Good luck on your project.<br /><br />Regards,<br />GennyGennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16383968487710469683noreply@blogger.com
