Social Networks, Communities of Practice, and Personal Learning Networks

Class 8

In this class we talked about the role of social networks and communities of practice, and personal learning networks. We talked about the different uses that these technological tools have in the process of teaching and learning a foreign language. We also visited some sites related to these tools and created a personal learning network.

We create an account in some social networks like, twitter, facebook, (where we create some groups related to the TEFL environment). As homework we were asked to keep working on all the content we discussed in class and also to interact with other people by using all the technological tools us studies that day.
