1. Discuss how you can use blogs, wikis OR podcasts in language teaching.

As teachers' blog is space that store own data, teachers can have a quick look all learning materials.

Learners can download the data anytime and anywhere.

So teaching with blogs can do self-directed learning.

And learners can get a understanding effect in some detail as they wrote on their blog that related to learning contents.

The best way to use podcasts in language teaching is listening activities.

By using the information desired when learners want the content learners can get learning effect, concentration, motivation than radio that unilaterally communicate information.

2. Discuss the difference between a blog and a wiki.

Wikis organize information by the index and link.

In knowledge sharing respect wikis are more efficient than blogs.

Visitors can create new pages or edit the existing postings and share.

Wikis are suitable for Collaborative Learning.

A blog displayed in chronological order so the most recent post appears first.

The importance of the previous contents can decline as time goes by.

Contents are updated by blogger who posted the information.

Blogs are suitable the unstructured task performance by comparison with Wikis.(personal experiences and feelings, diary, etc)
