En 2008 "Favoriser l'essor du Libre à l'Ecole" ( http://medialog.ac-creteil.fr/ARCHIVE66/pole66.pdf ) plaidait une cause logique, du point de vue pédagogique et éducatif. Jean-Pierre Archambault vient ajourd'hui complémenter l'ouvrage collectif "Histoire et Cultures du Libre - des logiciels partagés aux licences échangées" (voir http://sco.lt/8oblBZ ) par cet état des lieux : "Le Libre dans l'Education nationale".

Monica Mirza's insight:
Learning a foreign language nowadays means also searching the Internet for information and facts. As a result of using the ICT, pupils or students are now able to pick these up rather fast... sometimes too fast ! Media literacy is part of a teacher's daily task, no matter how reduced this part might be compared with TEFL itself. As a surfer ought to check a piece of information accuracy before he forwards the email including it... a learner ought to check some pieces of information accuracy when gathering them online for his own work. As well as www.hoaxbuster.com www.snopes.com is an interesting tool for both of them :o)

Onlist S. Bonfils (a colleague) has just reminded us of "Things fall apart" as its Nigerian author -Chinua Achebe- has died (the novel's considered the archetype of the African novel in English) . Should you plan to deal with the novel, its author and/or dwell in the African literature domain... let me suggest you ' www.postcolonialweb.org ', a website I discovered a while ago. It covers"Contemporary postcolonial and postimperial literature in English" and contains loads of relevant analyses and information to help you study them with your students.

Monica Mirza's insight:
In the excerpt from Sir Ken Robinson's TED talk I blogged there : http://0z.fr/NJZg7 last year, he asked whether schools kill creativity and suggested a few bright answers... It was issued in the site Teachers' Lounge for it's likely to interest colleagues, but I think it might also be of some interest to students. Besides, Ken Robinson's speech is so articulate and clear that it'll have the students feel as good at understanding a native speker... as I did myself :-D The animation above corresponds to another of his talks. It deals with changing education paradigms and is quite shorter : hope you'll enjoy it ! Delete the scoop?

For the very first time, Stanford researchers have begun to understand specifically how humor activates different areas in a child’s brain.
Monica Mirza's insight:
The article is likely to suit French High Schools SMS sections, B1-B2 and above levels, but it may be used in other classes too.. It also includes an interesting video (02'48") that may train students to oral/viewing comprehension. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Humour makes an acceptable manner of putting oneself in the clear : teachers may well "use" it to provide students an honourable way of finding a way out of stressful situations, esp. contentious ones... before the whole class. But of course, it mustn't be confused with sarcasm, or irony -for fear it might hurt or humiliate, then. Delete the scoop?

“I’m an entertainer. I have to do a song and dance to capture their attention,” said Hope Molina-Porter, 37, an English teacher at Troy High School in Fullerton, Calif., who has taught for 14 years. She teaches accelerated students, but has noted a marked decline in the depth and analysis of their written work. She said she did not want to shrink from the challenge of engaging them, nor did other teachers interviewed, but she also worried that technology was causing a deeper shift in how students learned. She also wondered if teachers were adding to the problem by adjusting their lessons to accommodate shorter attention spans. “Are we contributing to this?” Ms. Molina-Porter said. Delete the scoop?

"There seems to be a perception that online gaming has a detrimental impact on children’s development. Nothing could be further from the truth, and there are countless–and complex–reasons for this, but it also makes sense at the basic benefits of game-based learning. [...] education and online gaming certainly aren’t enemies [and ...] playing online games may be something which can enhance a child’s learning and development." Via EDTC@UTB
Monica Mirza's insight:
Games are like computers : tools. Let's use/play them to turn them into great assets -and not damaging instruments ;-) Hence the necessity of teaching learners how to remain their tools' masters.

Games can be helpful if you know how to "play" with them and the benefits for children in the process-learning.
