How would I use blogs, wikis and delicious with my students?

 

Nowadays, I think (as a teacher) using technology in education is important  and helpful to improve my students' knowledge. Websites like: Wiki, Blogs, and Delicious are the best  of technologies which I would use it with my EFL students. But before I will use these technologies, I will train my
students how to use it in a correct way.


 

BLOG

is a personal online journal that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption. Blogs are defined by their format: a series of entries posted to a single page in reverse-chronological order. Blogs generally represent the personality of the author or reflect the purpose of the Web site that hosts the blog.

 


 


 

Wiki:

A wiki is a Web site that allows me to add and update content on the site using my own Web browser. This is made possible by Wiki software that runs on the Web server. Wikis end up being created mainly by a collaborative effort of the site visitors. The term "wiki" comes from the Hawaiian phrase, "wiki wiki," which means "super fast”.


 

 

Delicious:

is a community bookmarking website in which I can save Web pages I find and share them with other users or with my students. Because users' bookmarks are made public and viewable by other users, other people often bookmark Web pages that they find within other users' bookmarks. Del.icio.us keeps track of how many people bookmark each site and posts the most popular websites on its home page.
