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





Technology now-a-days is a huge part of our life. It's a tool to communicate and deliver the information easily. So, It's really recommend for English language teacher to include technology in their teaching. One of the useful way to included it is to use social websites Like: blogs, wikis and delicious.


Blogs: 

In my opinion, using blog is useful for improving students' writing and reading skills, how?. For writing skills, teacher can give students some of the home-works that require them to post in their blogs like, express their opinions and ideas by writing in some topics that are chosen by the teacher. For reading, teacher may used for this skill by posting articles and asks them to read and reflect, so the teacher will know if they understand what they read or not.


Delicious:

This website is fantastic. The teacher can post a good online materials, like: links, videos, activities and games that help the students to understand and learn some lessons. The teacher can also used it to ask the students to share useful links that are related to their lessons.


Wiki:

Teacher can use wiki to ask students to upload their works in it, like: PowerPoint presentations. Teacher can used it too to upload a beneficial materials, assignments and students' grades. It's a very useful tool for students to interact with their  teacher and with their classmates.
