Presentation

Before I begin talking about my wiki I would like to note that I have always wanted to have my own website, but I didn’t because I had no idea how it is possible to have one until I attended CALL. As you all know I have created this wiki for a CALL requirement. In my wiki I have included all the tasks we were given up to now; such as, · What is a wiki? · What is a digital portofolio? · My reflective observations · An annotated review and many web activities on the 4 skills · What is a web quest? · An annotated review how is it possible to use MySpace tool in a class setting and any potential disadvantages. · How to plan a thematic unit. · What is an evaluation rubric and how to evaluate students? · A topic collection on Thanksgiving. · how to embed a video, upload images and so on  ·  and lastly the evaluation of the Nepton TOOL
 * Hello everyone ** ,

On the whole I have especially enjoyed designing my WIKI; yet if I had to choose among the tasks I would say that the rubric, my topic collection on Thanksgiving and my evaluation of MYSPACE were the most motivating and exciting for me. It was a totally new thing for me so I greatly benefited from it. When Andreas and I finished with the rubric Mrs. Salomi explained to us that we shouldn’t use negative feedback such as, ‘inefficient’ and ‘inadequate’ because this could disappoint a student and put him/her off. Evaluation Rubric I knew about web pages; such as MYSPACE and FACEBOOK and I have also been a member of these web pages, but I had no idea of the difference between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0. Well, now I am capable to distinguish between the two, for instance I know Web 2.0 is used for communication and changes can be made; on the other hand Web 1.0 is a static web page and changes are not allowed. My analysis was based on a web 2.0 tool known as MYSPACE. I’ve been using MYSPACE for a couple of years but it never crossed my mind how useful it can be in teaching. In my analysis of MYSPACE I exemplify what a Web 2.0 is, what MYSPACE is, the advantages and disadvantages of MYSPACE in class and several activities that can be used in class along with MYSPACE. Web Technologies · ** 3. Topic collection on Thanksgiving ** Thanksgiving has always been one of my favourite holidays in school so for this reason I was more than excited to find activities on this subject. In addition, the topic collection was useful because it also taught us how to set up a lesson plan in advance. In my opinion, I suppose that lesson plans will be one of the things I will definitely use at the beginning since they are easy and they give you the chance to go in class organized.
