We have unlimited access to such information and interaction, or so we think. Ethan Zuckerman. Presents a timely discourse on if we are as globally connected as we think.

ESOL + Internet: Podcasts in the ESL Classroom
http://esolplusinternet.blogspot.com/2010/12/podcasts-in-esl-classroom.html
A blog for the class LAI 544, University at Buffalo. Monday, December 06, 2010. Podcasts in the ESL Classroom. As a soon-to-be beginning teacher, one concern of mine has been not having a lot of teaching resources. While veteran teachers have built up stores of materials for in-class use over the years, it is daunting to start out fresh, wanting to give students the best possible experience, but not knowing where to locate quality supplemental materials. In the ESL classroom, I think podcasts like those ...

ESOL + Internet: Twitter for Teachers
http://esolplusinternet.blogspot.com/2010/10/twitter-for-teachers.html
A blog for the class LAI 544, University at Buffalo. Monday, October 18, 2010. When I first heard of Twitter, I quickly came to associate it with over-information. If I followed a friend's Twitter, I found myself learning much more about that person than I needed to know. (Jen is baking brownies? Well, if they're not for me, I guess I don't really care! It seemed to me like a redundant stand-alone version of Facebook's "status update" feature. A blog post by teacher Laura Walker. ESL lesson on irony.

http://esolplusinternet.blogspot.com/2010/09/what-is-this-ning-thing.html
A blog for the class LAI 544, University at Buffalo. Monday, September 27, 2010. What is this Ning Thing? Today I learned about Ning. A web presence that helps create and hosts lots of specialized social network sub-sites. They are groups of people with similar interests pooling their knowledge, questions and media. Some of these groups belong to music stars or businesses, but others are started by more humble groups, namely educators! The Ning site that amazed me was Classroom 2.0. ESL lesson on irony.
