Learning technology teacher development blog for ELT: Video debating website
Thanks to Nik for pointing me to Think Big. It is an interesting idea. Essentially, There are a number of questions posed and experts contribute their answers. These can then be commented on by users. This will be useful for a class that I’m teaching now called “Current Issues”. This type of debate scenario is already how discussions are structured. The ideas provided both by the experts and commenters provide great starting points (guide points) for discussion.

Commoncraft “…in plain English” videos
Commoncraft has a series of “…in plain English” videos that are great. I’ll embed some of them here.
This one is about social networking. This is a fundamental concept that you should understand. This one is about RSS, which is the most popular standard for XML syndication. This one is on social bookmarking, which will be central to my presentation. This one is on using Wikis. This one is on using Google Docs. DanWeb 2.0 Workshop
This looks like a really great workshop on a large number of topics regarding the use of Web 2.0 technologies specifically in education. It is organized into a series of short videos that can walk you not only through the technologies, but also the rationale behind using them.
The videos are free for now, but I’d get in there fast to take a look before they disappear.

This is a great wiki on social bookmarking. Being a wiki, it’s never really finished. Check it out and, if you feel like it, add to it. It still needs to be filled out a little.
