VNU - Spring 2008, Day 8


Good Morning & Welcome to Day#8,

   We've covered so much, so fast during this course, that today I want to give everyone a chance to practice what we've already learned and work on assignments.  
If we get the projector working and are able to install ooVoo, we might also have some guests stop by our class today.  One possible guest is Carla Arena (from Brazil).  She uses blogging a lot with her EFL students.


Things you can work on today (assignments as outlined in the Course Overview)
  • Reading Reflections - VNUEFL537 Reading list
  • Delicious Bookmarks - del.icio.us guide  - Make sure you have the Delicious extension installed  on your browser and write appropriate titles and keywords for bookmarks .  Many sites to look through here and here. 
  • Materials Archive - save documents, presentations, media, and webpages to your USB drive (see Day 3, part 4 for a list of sites with a lot of downloadable content)
  • Personal Website - work on your Edublog or Wordpress site
  • Use Audacity to record and post more mp3 audio files.  While I have enjoyed listening to your songs, I would also enjoy listening to small group discussions about how you might use CALL  resources and skills in your teaching. 
  • Hot Potatoes  - try creating activities or quizzes that you would use in your classes.

Some students have asked about places to host websites and store files. Below is some relevant information.  These are not required assignments - just resources for those interested.

File Storage
  • Box..net - allows you to store up to 1GB of files for free (maximum 10MB file upload)  Support

How interesting OOVOO is!

Submitted by HungTam_Tong on Sun, 2008-06-08 07:11.
To access to the Internet we can discover many useful things, ooVoo is one of the most interesting things we know. Using ooVoo we do not only chat with friends, relatives, ... send and receive messages, but we can also see the person we are talking to. ooVoo makes the world smaller as in a house, people who are in anywhere or at any time can keep in touch while talking and seeing others' images at the same time. Thank to ooVoo, there are no distances among people and places all over the world. If you don't believe me, spend time having a look at ooVoo, you will be persuaded by useful functions during using ooVoo.
