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

    If I am a teacher I would use technology in my teaching to improve my student learning also I would use different kind of tool to help me. For example I would use blogs, wikis and delicious.




Blogs: is a type of website or part of a website. Blogs are usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. "  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog "

 I would use blogs to improve my student skills for example I will ask each of my student to create their own blog . Then I will ask them to  put an exercise for each of the skills and in the following day they have to put an exercise for different skill and so…on. Also I may ask them to post their assignments in their blog .

Wiki: is a website that allows the easy creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser using a simplified markup language or aWYSIWYG text editor. Wikis are typically powered by wiki software and are often used to create collaborative wiki websites, to power community websites, for personal note taking, in corporate intranets, and in knowledge management systems." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki "

I would use wiki to post the lesson for my student and to allow them to comment on the lesson or on the activities which is going on the class. Also I will post a topic in my page of wiki and I will ask them to make a search about that topic in their own pages.

  Delicious: is a social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing, and discovering webbookmarks. The site was founded by Joshua Schachter in 2003 and acquired by Yahoo! in 2005. By the end of 2008, the service claimed more than 5.3 million users and 180 million unique bookmarked URLs.

I would use delicious with my student to ask them to save their own bookmarks.
At the end I would say I will make the lesson more interesting and enjoyable by using the all of the previous tool.
