GETTING STARTED

My name is Laura Cáceres. I am from Argentina and I am studying so as to become a teacher of English. This blog was created as part of Assignment No. 4 for the subject ICT (Information Communication Technology) in the INSPT-UTN in Argentina.

The aim of this blog is to present Web 2.0 Tools which can be really useful for teaching English. Here you will find examples of the tools, activities where to apply them and examples, too. All the presented websites have an educational purpose.


What is a blog?
A blog is essentially a web page with regular diary or journal entries.


Why is it a good idea to use blogs in language teaching?

• It can be set up and used by teachers and/or learners
• It can be used to connect learners to other communities of learners

It can be very motivating for learners and teachers who are fearful of the technology, or feel that they are not technically competent enough to use this tool.
