AGENDA
WHAT IS WEB 2.0 AND 3.0?
Student centeredLearner created materialsNot simply presentational CollaborativeSocialIt is not a change of technology, but a change in the way we use technology
ONLINE ORAL AND LISTENING PRACTICE?
Why do we need these activities?Think about something that you like to do that took
you time to learn to do well.Now how many minutes do you think that average
student spends actually speaking the language?

I TEACH WITH THIS IN MIND!
AUDIO: record directly or load an MP3, WMA, etc..
Video: Must create video outside of Shareit! And then load it. It will accept up to 150mb so record in moderate quality if more than 1 minute.
Images: Create them outside of Shareit! And then load them.
Documents: PPTs, Word, etc… Load directly.Links: Use the text feature and students copy
and paste.
