[Technology 831] Re: teaching ESL with blogsNima Salehi nsalehi at themlc.orgMon Feb 5 12:38:30 EST 2007
I provide teacher training on how to use blogs with ESL learners. I have a website set up with samples of teachers blogs and a handout on how to set up your own blog that can be used with students or by you to start your own blog. http://www.theMLC.org/blogs These ESL teacher blogs might provide some ideas on how to get started using blogs with your own students. To understand how these blogs are used with students begin at the bottom of the page and scroll up. Because students will see the bottom posting first, new postings are always at the top. Some of them have student comments as well. Other teachers who use this in class may have students writing comments on paper and turning them in there.
