Welcome to our Class Blog

Hi all,

I hope you enjoyed your holiday and ready to start Spring term. Last semester, we used Web 2.0 tools like Nicenet, Blogger and PBwiki for your midterm and final projects and this term I am planning to add more tools like Second Life, Yahoo Groups (I am still thinking why I didn't use it in the Fall term), Blogger, PBwiki and Tapped In.

We are going to have our classes in a computer lab (Z-25) in our Foreign Language Education Department building, not at Faculty of Education and the according to the schedule the course will be at 8.40 on Mondays.

In the first weeks of this course, I am planning to show you how to use these tools. Some of your friends have used Blogger and PBwiki before; therefore, they will help you about the tools. However, they don't know Tapped In, Second Life, either.

The syllabus will be online on Tapped In page (http://tappedin.org/) and you can follow our course topics and tasks from that page. You will receive e-mail messages about the tasks of the week as well; but there is a task that should be completed each and every week and there is no need to receive a reminder message about it. You will write a blog entry every week and write two comments to your friends' blogs.

As for the first week, please join our Yahoo Groups and complete the form found on database page. In order to join our group, please click on the following icon.
