This week's collection of online technology tools was too varied, so I decided to focus on those which I had never explored before, trying to look closer into whatever appeals most. As I am now familiar with the online classroom technology nicenet.org, a free platform for creating blogs at www.blogger.com and the Padlet tool, I didn't check the links provided to study these resources in detail.
ANVILL, sites.google.com and SMILE seem to be sophisticated platforms, so I need more time to sort things out concerning the registration and the like, but I will certainly try all these out.
Among simpler tools I have got interested in are
http://www.crosswordpuzzlegames.com/create.html
http://bogglesworldesl.com/lessons/job_fair.htm
http://www.easytestmaker.com/
It also reminded of http://www.lessonwriter.com/, a web-site for creating lesson plans.
These resources seem to be quite appropriate for helping me with ESP classes, while most of the others are intended for yourng English learners.
I have Hotpotatoes already installed on my laptop, so I have created a few exercises to extend the range of activities of the Webquest I am desiging for my ESP class. Now I need to learn how to get a link of my online task and add it to a web space.
I can get a link by uploading the .htm files designed with Hotpotatoes on a web-site created by http://www.ucoz.ru/. That was a discovery of a lifetime!
Now I will go on completing my WebQuest http://zunal.com/webquest.php?w=229857
