Vance Stevens - 4th Wen Shan Conference on English Teaching, October 25, 2003
The Webheads Community of Language Learners and Teachers: Creating Environments for Teaching and Learning Languages, Blended and Online

How have insights from online classes informed my own face to face teaching?

In my case, my online teaching has informed my classroom teaching, that is,
led me to work toward promoting increased community atmosphere in my f2f classes.

See Buthaina Al Othman's webpage about how association with Webheads in Action has informed her teaching practices: http://www.geocities.com/esl_efl_ku/

How do I promote a sense of community in F2F classes?

I make web portals for each class, Example: http://vance-pi.blogspot.com/
I put students' pictures online, Example: http://www.homestead.com/prosites-vstevens/files/pi/comp082/82A/082a_students.htm
I empower students to put their work online (see links at examples, above)

How do I get students to put work online?

Filamentality
Blogging
Teach them HTML
What do I do with the results? I put them on my website or have them create their own
Participate in writing exchanges
