How would I use blogs, wikis and delicious with my students?



Technology has become an inspirational tool that can enhance, promot, and facilitate the learning process in educational institutions. It is very important  that teachers become comfortable with the different form of interactiv websites suach as wikis, blogs, and delicious in order to keep up with the latest achievements in the feild of technology and education.
As a teacher, I will use these websites during my lectures for the purpose of making learning useful as well as enjoyable process.

Blogger is the act of writing a post for a blog. I would love to use this website in order to improve  the students' writing skill. For example, I will give them a certain topic and they have to write about it. When they post it, they’ll receive feedback from me and from their other colleagues. This for sure will improve their writing skills and give them the opportunity to express their thoughts and opinions about this topic.


Wiki is a web technology that allows me to share works, ideas, videos, and links with my students. Using this website  will give the students the chance to understand the meaning of collaborative work. For example, I will divide them into groups; each group choose a topic related to social networking in school. They have to collect data, discuss it, analyze it and post it in their group wiki. Later on, the other groups have to comment on their work.




Delicious is a social bookmarking website that give us the opportunity to share useful bookmarks. As a teacher, I will ask my students to add useful and powerful links such as improving English language at a young age. Then, they have to add links that provide useful activities for learning English language.
