“How would English language teachers use blogs, wikis and delicious with their students?”

Wiki:

 

A wiki is a website which allows its users to add, modify, or delete its content via a web browser usually using a simplified markup language or a rich-text editor .Wikis are powered by wiki software. Most are created collaboratively.it is a great tool to use it while teaching English .I can divided the class into groups and give every group a task to do .For example ,to write a summary about what they understand on the lesson. The best summary of the lesson will get a prize.

 

Blogs:

 Blogger is a blog-publishing service that allows private or multi-user blogs with time-stamped entries. It was created by Pyra Labs, which was bought by Google in 2003. Actually I will use this tool with my student to check their writing skills and their grammars .for instance, after a grammar class I will ask them to answer questions related to what we done in the class also to write their comments about the lesson.

 

Delicious:

 Delicious is a social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing, and discovering web bookmarks. The site was founded by Joshua Schachter in 2003 and acquired by Yahoo! in 2005. By the end of 2008, the service claimed more than 5.3 million users and 180 million unique bookmarked URLs. With this tool, I will ask my students to put URLs that related to the lesson .Also I will ask them to put links every week related to the subject.

 

The technology is  very useful ,but we should know how to use it.
