Very impressive work!<BR/><BR/>Your strategies for moving from teacher-directed to participative use of online tools are methodologically sound, and the high level of energy in your spoken comments suggests that your classes are constantly moving and never dull. How fortunate your students are!<BR/><BR/>Here are two additional resources you might want to consider:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://wwww.onelook.com" REL="nofollow">OneLook Dictionary Search</A><BR/><BR/>I like the above because it includes specialized dictionaries (for idioms and phrasal verbs, for example) in addition to "classic" dictionaries (M-W, American Heritage, Oxford, etc.), both for advanced and less-than-advanced students.<BR/><BR/>The late Dr. Charles Darling's <A HREF="http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/" REL="nofollow">Guide to Grammar and Writing</A><BR/><BR/>I find the grammatical information very useful here, and I also think the multi-tiered approach to developing writing skills (word & sentence level, paragraph level, essay & research paper level) and the variety of support materials are outstanding.<BR/><BR/>What you've created is a great source of ideas for anyone who's interested in online TESL. Thank you!<BR/><BR/>I say again that your students are fortunate indeed. Kudos and best wishes!<BR/><BR/>Dennis in PhoenixDennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14406878238507555896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7888479928991972704.post-73666453417769456952008-02-06T16:46:00.000-08:002008-02-06T16:46:00.000-08:00Wow Daniela!
