Web tool recommendations (#eltchat summary) « Sandy Millin
Skype - phone calls through the internet, including video. Simple, effective, reliable, and it works all over the world. It can be used to bring experts or other teachers into your classrooms. You can use the ‘chat’ feature to share files and write in vocabulary. You could use Skype instead of traditional listening tracks to Skype friends in the UK/US (or other countries!) For example: “With my [ Shelly Terrell's ] 4 to 6 yr-old German students they learned how to do origami from @EHerrod ‘s son in the UK via Skype”.

Facebook vs estudos
Menos horas dedicadas ao estudo e menor capacidade de concentração. Parecem ser estes os efeitos das redes sociais nos utilizadores e que os levam a ter piores resultados académicos. As conclusões são de um estudo desenvolvido por cientistas da Open University, na Holanda. Até agora, subsistia a ideia de que os jovens, na era digital, estavam preparados para desempenhar várias tarefas ao mesmo tempo, sem que isso prejudicasse alguma das tarefas. Investigadores holandeses vêm agora refutar a teoria, depois de concluírem um estudo sobre a influência do uso do Facebook nos resultados académicos. Foram avaliados 219 estudantes de uma universidade pública na Holanda e os resultados não deixam dúvidas.

Leslie : Uh, one thing I always remember there: there used to be a nice, old postman from Liphook 2 used to cycle round. And, uh, I was lucky sometimes: he used to pick me up and put me on his old, uhm, front-carrier and gave me a ride nearly home. Hmm. Leslie : No. No, uhm, well, soon after I started school, don’t ask me why, cause I don’t know, uh, one of the boys over there started calling me ‘Goodie’.

Creative writing prompts - a site providing thought provoking questions to stimulate writing. Could equally be used for discussion. For me they could be expecially useful in the journalism classes, but less applicable with my business students although with some guidance they could be used to highlight the different registers used for different types of writing. Zooburst - a site to create 3D pop-up books that can have information attached to them. I think this would be an excellent site for young learners but I am not sure if my business adults would be so enthusiastic about it. They would prefer to work with Prezi I think.
