Participants

Course participants willing to explore blogging in ELT in more depth, please add your names below:

  • My name is Joao Alves. I have been teaching German and English for 23 years. I have been interested in using technology for a long time but I haven’t been using it with the students in and outside the classroom for a long time. In fact, I started using blogs with my students only this year with relative success. The students also have their own blogs where they sometimes post texts related to the subject being taught and often suggested by me. I would like to know more about how to engage students in blogging because this is a great a funny way to improve the language, especially the writing skills.
  • Laura: I’m very interested in blogging too, the blog I have just set up is my first attempt (thanks to Smielt inputs!) and I hope to use it also for students in the next future, searching in the web I have found a useful site with some tips and examples about different kind of blogs and activities, hope you can find it interesting.
  • I’m Lucy and would like to learn more about using blogging for and with classes.
