Blogs, Wikis and Delicious in Saudi
EFL context
Blogs
Blogs provide
a communication space that teachers can utilise with students whenever there is
a curriculum need to develop writing, share ideas and reflect on work being
undertaken in the classroom. For example, students can reflecting about anything they take it in classroom. In this case writing skill will improve. We as a future teachers we have to use all the things that will help students or interact them.
Wikis
Wikis are a great tool to help
a school enrich instruction .It helpful to provide unlimited storage for
digital materials including video, screencasts, presentations, pdfs, etc. SO, wikis will help students to share docs, media, and PDF files on your classroom wiki,
If I were a teacher, I will using the discussion feature in Wikis, it will help me to connect with my students and give them extra help, and Wikis will help me to share presentations with my students. In general Wikis can also use for professional development and to connect
with other educators from other places to discuss, share and learn from
each other.
Delicious
delicious is very helpful on the use of Saudi EFL
context. For example, if the student learned about a site from a
conference or from a particular individual, she can tag the site with a word to
help her to remember it. students can also look at what others are finding for
a tag, and can also “subscribe” to others links under subscriptions (subs.) she
can subscribe by tag or narrow and add user name. If I were a teacher, I will
ask my students to create their own account to starting sharing activities and
helpful websites.
We as a future teachers we have to use all the things that will help students or interact them, Delicious, Blogs, and Wikis are one of these interactive ways. If i were teacher one day i would like to prove how technology become helpful, and how education developing by technology.
