Using technology can
be powerful , useful , and effective tool to the learners and the teachers. To
ensure the students will not get bored we have to change the strategy of
learning process by the time and keep up with the development. Using social
websites like: Wiki, Blog, and Delicious make learning and teaching more interesting and can be a powerful and effective
technology tool for students and teachers.
A blog is a personal online journal. Blogs activities are very
beneficial when it comes to shy students. It encourages them to participate and
express themselves in a blog. Also it improves student's writing skills, by
asking them to reflect on a particular article, or post comments in their
collegues' blogs.
A wiki is a space on
the Web where you can share work and ideas, pictures and links, videos and
anything else you can think of. Wiki spaces is special because it gives you a
visual editor and a bunch of other tools to make sharing all kinds of content
as easy for students as it is for their teachers. Teachers can upload many
materials, resources, handouts and assignments, it also allows students to share their findings,
materials and everything they know. It encourages group activities.
Delicious is a
social bookmarking tool that we can use it to store and share the bookmarks
with each other. Each student will have her account in delicious and she has to
bookmark any websites or links which is useful for our class and the others get
benefit from these bookmarks.
