Nelta Choutari is a monthly ELT web
magazine. Through this
magazine the Nepalese ELT communities promote professional development through
networking and ELT conversation among Nepalese teachers and their moderators
around the world. They post their articles on a blog and accept comments on their network for the sake of improving education and Nepalese teachers .
I think if we want setting our own website, we should
decide first for who it will be, for English teachers only or English teachers and
their students or all teachers in different fields or for all
people? Will it handle educational
themes only or will it include public matters or both of them? Will it be in English only or
include Arabic writings as well? I think we should consider all these suggestions
first then we will design a good survey discovering what our viewers would like to see or read about in the website.
However, if I assume that it will be for English writings I think I have found some useful
websites to be published on it:
** (#edtecheg on Twitter)
--I think this website is an important clue for understanding
the language of online social communities. It is important for the young and
the old as well. It is published on:
http://balimaha.wordpress.com/2014/02/17/The-five-languages-of-social-media-engagement-secrets-to-online-communities/
--Also this website introduces much benefit
for all teachers in different grades from kindergarten to college. But as I'm
an English teacher, I want to benefit my students and colleagues who want to
improve their students' abilities in reading and writing skills in addition to other
interactive skills (e.g. It introduces eight workshops with supportive videos about
the needed steps for teaching writing).
** edc moocs artefacts
These precious pieces of artefacts are created
by moocs participants. They address the
useful merits of using technology in general and in education specifically through
videos, blogs, valuable articles, visual elements. Some of them discuss their
fears of depending on digital education only.

Hi Mervyn
ReplyDeleteYour links are very useful
Hi Mervat
ReplyDeleteI think Maha gave us time to have a look on other websites to decide how our website will be formed .We have to put our vision, and our plan before doing any step.
Dr Maha asked us to choose the appropriate websites, and links we find most useful to be included in our website, and she directed us to certain websites to explore and choose from them or from any other sites but the plan or the vision will be decided after that when we agree on the addressed people and the suitable survey.
ReplyDeleteDear Mervat, good first look, but you will need to go deeper.
ReplyDeleteFirst, a twitter hashtag is not a website :)
Second, a web PAGE is not the same as a website, you need to be clear with your users.
Third, you forgot to link the edcmooc artifacts page!
Thanks
