This document discusses various Web 2.0 tools and how they can be used for language learning. It identifies 5 categories of Web 2.0 tools: searching and sharing information, researching and learning, knowledge building through collaboration, communication and interaction, and creative learning through content production. Specific tools mentioned that fall into these categories include blogs, wikis, podcasts, social bookmarking, and tools for image and video sharing. The document also provides examples of how these tools can be used for language learning activities like collaborative writing, research projects, presenting content, and practicing language skills.
Web 2.0 & Social Media in Language Teaching
- 2. *
- 3. * Which Web 2.0 tools are you using? What makes them “2.0”?
- 4. “the participatory web” (Brad Decrem) User as producer
- 5. blogger
- 7. * Which aspects of learning do appeal to? Which strengths do they have for enabling learning?
- 8. *
- 9. Adapted from jcal.info/web2/participation.html * (1) Searching & sharing (e.g. information, knowledge, files; shared knowledge & community building) (2) Researching & learning (e.g web quests, interactive sites) (3) Knowledge building (e.g. shared editing of knowledge and files; collaboration; Wikipedia) (4) Communication & interaction (e.g. Skype, forums, chat) (5) Creative learning & active production (e.g. creating learning contents through blog texts, videos, audio and multimodal)
- 10. Cf. ndcshepparton.wikispaces.com/Bloom's+ Digital+Taxonomy * • Creating - Designing, constructing, planning, producing, inventing, devising, making • Evaluating - Checking, hypothesizing, critiquing, experim enting, judging, testing, detecting, monitorin g • Analyzing - Comparing, organizing, deconstructing, attrib uting, outlining, finding, structuring, integrati ng • Applying - Implementing, carrying out, using, executing • Understanding - Interpreting, summarizing, inferring, paraphr asing, classifying, comparing, explaining, exe mplifying

- 13. * weblogs = blogs = websites of Web 2 = journaling can be hosted by a blog host service or on own website / server inclusion of any kind of file next to text wide range of topics can incl. co-authors comments, feedback This is a blog post / thread Opens up comments by other readers Shows tag that were used to categorize the blog This is a blog post / thread archive / history RSS feeds Shy or quiet students Writing gets an audience Docu- ments progress
- 15. (adapted from Langer de Ramirez, 2010, 18)
- 16. * • “web page” where many people can add, delete, edit information • all members are authors and editors (vs. blog) • collaboration writing, editing, reviewing) (for teachers and students) • (history / tracking + restore functions Welcome History Wikis in class • usually hosted by external host (many free) GoogleDocs! • posting can be public – protected - private Using wikis in the classroom – some ideas: • Web quests • Collaborative projects & co-authoring / peer review • Interactive “chain” writing games • Planning an event & sign-up sheets (forms) for events • Place to display student work (scanned art, images) (adapted from Langer de Ramirez, 2010, 35)
- 17. * • Audio recording similar to radio show (1 episode or full show) • Recorded in sharable format (mp3) • RSS enabled (i.e. audience can subscribe to them) • Can be listened to online, on mp3 player (any will do), or via download on a computer • Many podcasts for language learners and on many topics available • Students can create podcasts themselves (few tools needed – e.g. Audacity (free online) Using podcasts in the classroom – some ideas • Weather or science reports • Poetry recitations • Pronunciation practice • Classroom news • Radio soap operas • Interviews with parents, teachers, community members • Directions to a place • City guide (e.g. for a virtual tour) (adapted from Langer de Ramirez, 2010, 53)
- 19. Example: www.voxopop.com/group/10009435-6578-488e-8cca-4ea19dd84034 * Some ideas • cf. podcasts, and: • digital storytelling • language practice • voice-based discussion forum www.voxopop http://bit.ly/voxopop_
- 20. * www.narra Some ideas: • cf. podcasts, and: • digital storytelling • voice-based photo annotation • photo description • tourist / city guide
- 21. http://www.wor * * Some ideas: • vocab of new topic • word fields • collocations, phrasal verbs, etc. • predicting and previewing, advanced organizer (e.g. for a reading activity) • prompts for storytelling • summary of an article / chapter • support for language production, e.g. scrambled sentences

Editor's Notes
- #9: Socio-constructivist frameworks of learningCollaborative, participatory kinds of learningProject-based learning
- #11: Bloom's Revised TaxonomyIn the 1990's, a former student of Bloom, Lorin Anderson and David Krathwohl, revised Bloom's Taxonomy and published this- Bloom's Revised Taxonomy in 2001. Key to this is the use of verbs rather than nouns for each of the categories and a rearrangement of the sequence within the taxonomy. They are arranged below in increasing order, from Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) to Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS).Bloom's Revised Taxonomy Sub CategoriesEach of the categories or taxonomic elements has a number of key verbs associated with itLower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS)Remembering - Recognising, listing, describing, identifying, retrieving, naming, locating, findingUnderstanding - Interpreting, Summarising, inferring, paraphrasing, classifying, comparing, explaining, exemplifyingApplying - Implementing, carrying out, using, executingAnalysing - Comparing, organising, deconstructing, Attributing, outlining, finding, structuring, integratingEvaluating - Checking, hypothesising, critiquing, Experimenting, judging, testing, Detecting, MonitoringCreating - designing, constructing, planning, producing, inventing, devising, makingHigher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)
