Evaluation of Web Resources

Web 2.0 & Teaching: Evaluation of Web Resources: Not all the information on the web is trustworthy, valid or up-to-date. It may be too simple or too difficult. Too specific or too general.

Sometimes we don't care too much - we are simply surfing for fun and entertainment. But in education and business it does matter.

To evaluate the web pages you use, try the following questions:

How college professors use Facebook

It's a known fact that students are Facebook-obsessed. But a new survey shows that teachers might rival their younger counterparts when it comes to social media use. Nearly all professors are active on social media, and 80% of them use it as a teaching tool.

A Guideline for your Final CALL Assignment -- 30 Marks

Have a careful look at this slideshow of how a teacher used Hot Potatoes into her lesson.

For your assignment, you need to create two exercises for a language test (for any level) using Hot Potatoes software. The test will then be embedded on to your blog with adequate instructions for your students to take the test. You should also provide hints to the questions.

In your introduction, you need to show your reader the significance of your current research work, create a knowledge gap, give a thesis statement.

Your background should tell readers the profile of your school/ classroom, students & teachers, their readiness, their current state of knowledge in using CALL in language classrooms.

Your literature review should explain and synthesize the advantages & disadvantages of using CALL, and how could CALL be best integrated into your educational contexts to facilitate a student-centered learning environment. Students can comment on each other's answers.

Then, discuss and, as your action plan or recommendations, you present the test (as appendix) you designed for your students.

Lastly, write your conclusion.
