Week 4 Discussion: Reading/writing/vocabulary skill-building

The Internet holds great promise for all who are willing and able to take advantage of the opportunities. However, as with anything that seems too good, to be true, there is a catch: finding the best sites can be difficult. Our group of teachers-students seems designed to simplify and enhance our experience on the Internet. With everybody’s help, whether you are an experienced Web surfer or a new user, you will be directed to numerous informative, entertaining and remarkable sites .The Internet spans an unlimited array of web-sites extremely helpful for enhancing each of the English skills.

This week’s first discussion made us read some articles about how to use computers to enhance ways to teach reading and writing. We had several multi-skill websites on our list this week and the list became even larger after my colleagues’ posts. Individually we had to find two or more specific web pages that would work for us in our class. I investigated and included the specific web address (URL) of the pages, theirs titles, the target students, why I think it will work, and why I think it will be useful. I have also developed ABCD objectives to go with these pages.
I have followed and discussed about : http://wwf.panda.org/ and http://www.manythings.org/#des.

Given one of Stephen’s post I have also found useful resources at http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks2bitesize/english/writing/.

I am proud of myself that finally I could make my links active on the Nicenet interface. The formula is simple : (a href =“ URL”)URL(/a) with no spaces .
Note : ( stands for < and ) stands for > .

  2. Dear Cami,

    I am glad you can create active links now. It was pleasure for me too, when I first learned how to do that.
