About Me:
This year I co-moderated Blogging 4 Educators with a great team, led by Carla Arena. Carla and I shared this experience with others at the TESOL convention in NYC where we gave a presentation in the Electronic Village. I'm glad that Blogging4Educators will continue to grow, interact, learn, and share together through Ning!

Comment Challenge

I have decided to take part in the Comment Challenge! I just signed up last night. Although I have been using the comment tracking tool, CoComment for a few months, I just found that it is possible to create groups in CoComment. There is a Comment Challenge CoComment group, so all those who are participating in the challenge can explore and keep track of each other's comments.

I thought that the group func… Continue

Using Chinswing to Create Authentic Listening Materials

I would like to share my handout from my presentation at the TESOL EV Fair in New York. The presentation was about a project in one of my classes last year. Using Chinswing, we collected voice messages and used them for authentic listening practice; also, students and guests interacted through text on our class blog.

Please let me know your impressions. How else might Chinswing be used with English language learners? How could the conversation be extended further through the blog or other onlin… Continue

Hey, Mary,

Thanks for your comment on my B4E ning wall. It is my pleasure to be learning with you, too.

I really enjoyed browsing your blog, One Teacher's Journey again yesterday. Though I'd been too busy to get involved in the Comment Challenge, your posts about it almost made me feel I was there.

Cheers, Paul

You're welcome, Mary. It's nice to share information in so many different ways and also to stay in contact with people all over the world. It's a fascinating new world in which technology gives you a sense of freedom otherwise impossible to achieve.

Is there snow where you are in Japan, or is this a photo from New York?

I'm going to figure out how to put up some photos of our weekend trip to Zentsuji and Konpira in Shikoku on my page. Take a look. We had a great time, going via Seto Oohashi and coming back via Shimanami Kaido. And we stayed in a great place near Konpira-san called Torumaru Ryokan, right on the stone steps leading up to the temple.

Hope you are having fun in New York.

Dear Mary, missing you very much.
I am happy for you - you are meeting so many dear Webheads at the TESOL Convention shortly. I am sure you and Carlinha will be a great success with your presentation. I wish I could follow you at least online.

When you are back and have more time, plz join our WorldCALL 2008 wiki.

Hugs and xxx

Hi, Mary:

Nice to see you here. When are you heading to New York for the TESOL Conference?

Also, when and where is the CALL Conference that everyone will be coming to in Japan this year? Wow! It would be great to meet people face to face.

You must be busy getting read to go to the US (or already there?), but I will look forward to keeping in touch with you and the others here.

Yoroshiku!

Stay happy,
Nina
