Hi everybody, this is where I posted
my webtool review assignment (http://ileenlearntechassignment.blogspot.com/).
I reviewed...
Voicethread
(found at www.voicethread.com ) primarily allows
for sharing audio-files (recorded mp3 or wav extension files), but also permits
for their integration with video and image and text files.
The online automated writing evaluation tool Criterion (found at: https://criterion.ets.org/criterion/Default.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fcriterion
) can be applied to the practice of foreign language composition, although –as of
yet- it is primarily used by learners of English as a foreign language to help
them get a better hold on what’s correct in English grammar.
The app Blendspace (found at: https://www.tes.com/lessons)
provides an online web platform for teachers to create digital lessons that are
interactive, with which students can interact and a teacher/student interaction
can occur digitally and be tracked for assessment purposes.
