Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to introduce three ways that weblogs can be used to support ESL classroom learning. After defining what a weblog is, I will proceed to show how weblogs can be put into immediate use in the ESL classroom by means of three distinct types: the tutor weblog, learner weblog, and class weblog. I will also mention the software available for creating and maintaining weblogs

Research from Hank Becker's and Ronald Anderson's recent Technology, Learning and Computing Study suggest that teacher's classroom practices mimic their willingness to interact with their colleagues: teachers who engage in collaborative, interactive professional development are much more likely to have their students engage in collaborative, interactive lessons than traditional teachers who prefer traditional, lecture-oriented professional development. Additionally, teachers who use collaborative, interactive techniques (constructivist teaching) are much more likely to have their students use the Internet than teachers who use traditional teaching methods, even when Internet access is readily available.” The accompanying slides can be found at http://edweb.gsn.org/synergy99/

"Hyper-reading, Hyperwriting: explorations in non-linear literacy" by Claudia Ferradas Moi, found in Humanizing Language Teaching, March 2003, at http://www.hltmag.co.uk/may03/mart3.htm

"Technology Tools for Today's Campuses" is an anthology of 72 articles collected by James L. Morrison, editor of ON THE HORIZON and a professor of educational leadership at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The essays offer testimonies on how faculty brought technology to their classrooms and include important and useful information that you can use in deciding if you want to use such tools as listservs, email, the World Wide Web, or multi-user domains (MUDs) in your teaching. Each article has links to such illustrative material as syllabi, student papers written on the Web, and reference sites. The project has since been renamed Horizon, and is available on the Web by clicking there or here: http://horizon.unc.edu/main.asp

Elizabeth Murphy, Strangers in a Strange Land: Teachers' Beliefs about Teaching and Learning French as a Second or Foreign Language in Online Learning Environments (2000) http://www.ucs.mun.ca/~emurphy/strangers/toc.html

Abstract from the web document: This study first aims to profile the beliefs of teachers of French as a second and foreign language (FSFL) about teaching and learning in online learning environments (OLEs). Secondly, it aims to understand in what ways the beliefs reflect the evolution of approaches, learning theories and use of technology in the teaching of FSFL throughout the past century. The historical and conceptual framework against which the beliefs are interpreted includes an outline of a vision of learning FSFL in the 21st century.

The study took an ecological perspective as a means of gaining insight into the relationships between OLEs and teachers’ beliefs about teaching and learning in such environments. Comparisons are made between traditional and online learning environments and the types of beliefs and approaches to learning that each best supports. Beliefs are defined as a complex and interrelated system of personal knowledge that serves as implicit theories and cognitive maps for experiencing and responding to reality.

Data collection methods incorporated use of a 10 month long international, online discussion list as well as the distribution of 130 open-ended questionnaires throughout the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Individual dialogues or discussions were held with 16 participants from the discussion list as well as 5 participants from the questionnaire respondents. The participants represented both users and non-users of online technologies primarily in the K-12 system.

The profile of the beliefs resulted in approximately 400 beliefs spread over two categories representing respectively advantages or challenges to use of OLEs. The sub-categories of advantages related to resources and information; communication and collaboration; real-world learning; motivation; learning; and teaching. The sub-category of challenges included time and the curriculum; training, support and vision; access and equipment; control and monitoring; students; and OLEs.

The interpretation of the findings revealed that teachers’ beliefs reflect a range of approaches and learning theories. The relationship was considered between the official theories related to language learning on one hand and the implicit theories or beliefs of teachers on the other. There are beliefs particular to FSFL that present certain challenges to effective use of OLEs given the comparative domination of these environments by the use of the English language. Beliefs that are centered on learning as well as those reflecting use of the computer in the role of generator of reality appear to be compatible with use of OLEs. Four dimensions of conflict among beliefs were identified

A process of self and social negotiation was recommended as a means of reconciling the differences between the beliefs of colleagues, students, systemic conventions and the larger school community. Recommendations were made for the provision of professional development sessions to present opportunities for exposure to beliefs that provide alternatives to knowledge transmission and to teacher-centered pedagogies. Recommendations were made for the provision of professional development opportunities to help in the development of an understanding of the nature of OLEs and the types of learning and teaching styles that they best support.

Susanne Nyrop (Denmark) and Nini Ebeltoft (Norway) "Sociotechnical aspects of virtual cooperation in education" online, at: http://home19.inet.tele.dk/susnyrop/helpful.html. The paper describes how the technology is influencing on the social interactivities while learning and communicating in virtual learning environments, with the facilitators and moderators as the central persons, managing and mediating the uses of technology. Our examples are briefly describing networks like kidlink, Tapped in, Global Educators' network and Global Teenager. We do not mention Webheads, as the content was planned before I got seriously engaged and involved.

Retrieved April 21, 2005 from http://www.digitaldivide.net/articles/view.php?ArticleID=361 (server error Feb 26, 2010). Among the points made: "One thing that tools like blogs and WIKIs do is hand over control of content production. In the classroom, where content production is centralized, this is nothing short of revolutionary, especially when addressing a cross section of society that rarely participates in media production." (by Pruit) and "The biggest issue right now, I think, is that students have very few models in the form of teachers or parents who are using the technologies well in ways we want kids to."
