Discussion forum v Wall

Hi All,As a long-time even if skeptical user of Ning joints, may I suggest we use this discussion forum rather than the group's wall if we want to... discuss the resources we are proposing?And as I'm new here, by way of intro: I'm Swiss and have taught French as a foreign language for decades, English as a foreign language more occasionally.See More

The aPLaNet Project

The aPLaNet Project

  • Do you use social networks like Facebook, Twitter & Nings?

  • Do you use them for personal reasons, to keep in touch with friends and family or for professional reasons?

  • Do you think social networks such as these can contribute to your own professional development?

These are some of the questions we will be asking hundreds of foreign language educators - and we hope you will be one of them - to find out their attitudes to using Social Networking sites to create and build their PLN, in other words, their Personal Learning Network

During the two years of the
aPLaNet project, we will be collaborating with our partner institutions to create support and resources which will help foreign
language teachers in Europe to
understand and use social network in order to:

  • Build and expand their PLN by connecting with educators on Facebook, Twitter & Nings
  • Continue with their professional development in an autonomous way
  • Acquire the skills and digital literacies required in order to use these mediums successfully and productively
The self-access piloting can be found here.

The technical challenges of going online in class at university

I've decided to stop using handouts and worksheets completely (though I do use cards and pictures), and have replaced them with a class wiki that I prime with materials and tasks. Students have their own pages to keep their notes on, and can…
