I often use wretch and my MSN space to share pics, my life and my feelings with my friends. Those tools are good for people connection, but I've never link them and ESL together. Could you explain how to use them in ESL?

Hi Yeh, the use of information and communication technology in schools and classrooms has grown so rapidly in the fast few years. The social network tools can help language teachers to form learning communities and connect students with one another. Imagine we are both learning Japanese in the same class, and if we both use Wretch or MSN, we can easily ask each other question(s) and have online study group without the time and space constraint. We will also know each other more through the self-intro, pics and events profile on line. Compared with the traditional language classrooms, I see a lot of possibilities to incorporate the tools to enhance learners’ motivation as well as promote language acquisition. The only concern is one may need to keep so many accounts and passwords in hand! My two cents.

Hi, professor Joni also introduced us this good blog to visit. Actually I used wretch and xuite before and I know some information of those tools. However, I don't know anything about the last one tool, I think maybe it is the latest tool in Taiwan. From your blog,it seems really convenient and also interesting!

Hi Yilings, I am wondering if I need to add other entries so people can have opportunities to explore more tools such as CSS,tagclouds, del.icio.us, Skype, dodgeball, AdSense and so on.

No matter what people do or how old people are, many people uses the Wretch and Xuite. It is not only uses it for keeping personal daily diary,or sharing valuable informaiton, but also for teaching. For example, many teachers ask students uses it for completing homework. Therefore, I think that is very useful tools.

Window lives is my cup of tea. Give me a real person and I am totally satisfied. I really hate waiting a day or two for someone to get back with for whatever. I really really love me some window alive.
