A ray of light
October 13, 2008 by songmirae
Yesterday we had a hand-on session with ‘delicious’ and ‘flickr’. It was definitely helpful and to play around with the expert around helps. I believe the moral support that a teacher gives can go a long way. With CALL, most of the job seems to be fluid but there are little questions which can hold up the progress. This gets resolved in the class or it must wait until we can ask someone or be daring enough to start pushing ‘buttons’. So, yesterday I saw a ray of light in my dark cloud of CALL games.

You know, having time to play around and “push buttons” (and realize that the computer won’t implode or explode) is most valuable to so many teachers. I think using Flickr and Delicious are excellent ways to put your toe into the water of social networking and connections. It takes time and patience, and then, hopefully, you can begin to see the value of it all.

To Dogtrax,
Thanks for comment. I’ve been trying Delicious which seems more practical and Flickr seems more of a personal album. Maybe I’m not really picking up the essence of it.
