I've been musing like so many on Classroom 2.0 about the implications of using new forms of technology in the classroom and how it can "enable" students. Meaning, in the full sense of the word "education", allow students to learn the basic skill which enable a citizen to contribute fully and positively to society (yeah, I believe in that, in Dewey).
So much of technology even at this present moment, is used as an adjunct, as a s"l"ideshow to the real lesson/learning. I think this "spar…

I 've always been a bibliophile, a lover of books. I once imagined a library filled with books that had no authors names on them. Just pure, knowledge, just pure experience and communication of the world out there. A library where you read from interest not authority.
I think technology gives us a chance to realize this dream and the dream of affordable access to the written word by everyone - a total sum of knowledge, that written and even that thought. Books updated every minute and…

We already have the website of our project finished and we’d like to share it with you.
The goal of Bablingua is to offer good audiovisual materials filmed in Hispanic countries that can help teachers to enrich their classes. In the website there are short videos, long videos, vocabulary cards and a blog with free activities, games and new ideas for the foreign language class.
Please, visit us at : www.bablingua.com, and let us know your opinion, comments and ideas you have to improve it.

Thanks for the comment on the sight word video. I've looked at Voicethread a little but hadn't thought of it for this (mostly because for my intended audience, the videos will be played offline on mobile devices). Good idea. I'll pursue it.
Thanks for the comment and for making contact. I am working independently here which seems to be another way of saying that I am unemployed! From what I read and hear, the Korean government is more receptive of the use of technology for learning core subjects. Most schools here in Hong Kong are still stuck on seeing it as a subject within itself. A lot of the international schools are embracing it which is why they are oversubscribed by Hong Kong parents.
I am sure that we can share a lot in the future. Let's stay in touch.
