More Spanish: Five for Friday: 5 Web 2.0 tools to record oral communication I am working on a series of blog posts for the summer called Five for Friday. Today I want to share my favorite five Web 2.0 tools to record oral communication in the classroom.The biggest shift in oral assessment for my class occurred because of the variety of web 2.0 tools that can be used to record students. I still believe the best way to practice the language is in person, with a partner or in small groups, but the best way to formally assess a large group of students (at the same time) or gauge their progress is by using the following tools. Each one will fulfill a different need. Google Voice My students use this tool weekly. Voicethread My class gets a lot of mileage from Voicethread as well. Lingt Language I did not use this website this year, but as I was preparing for an end of school inservice that described it, I regretted not using it. Cell phone Record App If I am not mistaken most smart phones have the capability of being used as a portable recorder.

Educational Benefits Of Social Networking Sites Uncovered In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers at the University of Minnesota have discovered the educational benefits of social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook. The same study found that low-income students are in many ways just as technologically proficient as their counterparts, going against what results from previous studies have suggested. The study found that, of the students observed, 94 percent used the Internet, 82 percent go online at home and 77 percent had a profile on a social networking site. Data were collected over six months this year from students, ages 16 to 18, in thirteen urban high schools in the Midwest. "What we found was that students using social networking sites are actually practicing the kinds of 21st century skills we want them to develop to be successful today," said Christine Greenhow, a learning technologies researcher in the university's College of Education and Human Development and principal investigator of the study.
