Tomorrow (Feb 8) I will start taking enrollments for my free classes on my Moodle page at http://www.rent-a-tutor.com/moodle/
There are two free courses in February. One is a Web 2.0 course about using Google Mail, the other is a software course on how to use the free image manipulation program Gimp.
Please check my other blog to find out more about the free courses:
I'll give my Web 2.0 introduction "Web 2.0 Tools - introduction to the social web" again next Monday on the e-Learning portal learncentral.org
Here is the link to the event. The Presentation is open to anyone to attend, you don't need to be a member of learncentral.org but I recommend to register for free to get all the benefits of their discussion groups and resources.
Here is a web site that I want to recommend to all who want to learn English idoms. It's "One Idom a Day" from Dave Jackson. Dave offers one English idiom every day as a short audio podcast episode. I recommend to subscribe to the free RSS feed via iTunes or any other podcatcher to get the new episode automatically every day.
I'm now in week 4 of the EVO2010 seminars. Unfortunately, some other work kept me from following all the activities in my 6 sessions that I have registered for. At the moment, I accomplish some tasks on some of the sessions if I have some free time.
Here is another live class on Web 2.0 tools next week thursday:
This is another free Class for Sunday Jan 31.
This class will give you a rough overview about how to use Second Life ® (SL) for teaching and/or learning. I will walk you through the process of creating your own SL avatar, so that you can start exploring the 3D community there. The class will not tell you how to use SL and how to move your avatar (I’ll prepare another class for that soon).
My last activity for week 2 on the "Teaching Languages in a Virtual World" was a visit to the burning kitchen on sunday. It's a simulation built by people from Switzerland, where you can learn how to deal with a fire in your kitchen.
I attended to two tours from the "Teaching Languages in Virtual Worlds" session.
The first one was Thursday and we visited the Holocaust Museum with an exhibition of the Reichskristallnacht (November 1938). The exhibition is very impressive and touching, because all objects are on display with recorded audio narratives from survivors of the holocaust.
This is a free class at eduFire for Sunday Jan 24.
About Class
Some Examples to use free web services.
The Internet is using a lot of free social web services that you can use comfortably and free. A lot of these offers are quite useless but some of them are really useful for your daily work.
I will show you some of the useful ones.
Today I just had one live meeting with the people of Multiliteracies in elluminate.
I did a short presentation about the WizIQ platform and Jennifer Verschoor told us something about New Media Multiliteracies in Education. You can watch the recorded elluminate session here: Go to the Recording
Jennifer had some technical problems (it's the second half of the recording) but you can get her slides as a Google Document here: Jennifer's slides.
