Hello all,
I've been able to do all week1 assignments and doing my best to finish those of this week. But, I'm afraid I'll be busy next week because My students are passing their session examinations and I will be busy mornings and afternoons. I hope I can keep up pace with you, however. The readings are interesting. Unfortunately, I can't read them all. The tools we've made use of til now are good and useful for teaching , tough I haven't been able to use them all (diigo for example) and I sometimes miss some online sessions because of work, and sometimes the moderators don't succeed to present it on time for some reason (technical proplems). I'm so pleased I joined the group. It's a enriching experience for me. I'll certainly come back later,no matter if I finish all what's required or not. A very big applaud to moderators.

Hi Folks, I've been revamping this site for the start of the TESOL EVO sessions beginning in January 2011. As I value all the work that's gone into building this site over the years, and all the people who have helped, I have removed nothing. Go to archive sections in the sidebar to find all previous material intact.

Hope you enjoy the new course. All are welcome to participate in the public spaces: the Ning, and Grouply and Yahoo Group sites, at the links above. Looking forward to the F.U.N.

Hi Vance-- Could you add some objectives for the course? Even a rough idea would be helpful.
Cheers!

Hello everyone,
I've read the Syllabus outline 2011 and I'm looking forward to evrything that will happen here the coming weeks. I'm aware that in this era of fast-developing technology, teachers need to keep pace with improvements since (young) learners easily adapt to these rapid changes. I'm happy to be part of this group too and I'll try to contribute to the activities as much as possible.

Enjoy the coming weeks and success to all,
Jenice

Mounia left a comment here a year ago but a reply now is appropriate. It illustrates several features that distinguish Multiliteracies sessions from others. For one thing, this delayed reply illustrates that this session is run not as a stand-alone course, but evolves as a community year after year. It shows also how learning is ongoing, not limited to a certain time frame, only the time allocated to this EVO session for example. It also highlights the fact there the course is conceived as a berry-bush, not as a conduit. In conduit learning, we all start here, go there, and end up over yonder. The berry bush is where you have a goal in mind but where you end up can be much different from where anyone else in the session does, depending on your own goals, and on the berries you pick along the way. We will encourage you in this session to chart your learning journey in an eportfolio where you document steps you have taken along the way.

Mounia says she can't possibly read all the materials here. This is understood; they are not meant to be absorbed in conduit order. They are arrayed as on a bush for you to pick the ones that are most accessible. With this concept in mind, I'm creating a Berry Bush Bookstore here with links to free ebooks that you can read if you wish, and with the understanding that you might not read any or all of them during the time we interact intensively together, but they are there if you wish, and whatever you read or watch or listen to in relation to this session will give us all something to talk about.

You can also access the recordings and free events at our co-community https://learning2gether.pbworks.com. You are welcome to teach us something there. You are encouraged to contribute in our communities and help us teach one another via our Self-Help Desk. We are a peer to peer network. The moderators are here to provide cohesion. We hope that you will add content and expertise here, and help us all learn from one another.

Hello Everyone,

Great to be here. Do we need to check in at any specific area at first? Like, here, the ning or elsewhere? Is there a home base for the workshop? I introduced myself in the yahoo group. Is that home?

Thank you.
Nellie

Hello folks,

I"m not sure if What I have been doing is exactly what I am supposed to do. I've checked the syllabus and tried to follow the projects listed there, but I was taken to so many different places that I feel a little lost. Besides I've been spending too much time. I know it must be part of the process of adapting to the platform, but please, help me organize what I have to do. Thanks
Luciana, Brasil #evomlit

Thank a lot Jennifer!

Hi everybody,
I am Nouga and I am an English Language Lecturer at the British University in Egypt.

Hi Naqwa, thanks for writing here and bringing life and currency to this page :-)

Hi,
I'm Jeyalakshmi, Language Instructor, Jazan University, KSA.
Thank you moderators for this opportunity.
Allow me to be active after a week as I'm busy submitting my doctoral thesis. Still, I don't want to miss this course too.

Hi Jehalakshmi. You are welcome to benefit from this session in whatever way you wish. This is not a space we normally interact. This space presents tasks and resources. My favorite space for interaction is here https://gplus.to/multimooc. You will find links to our other spaces linked there. Above all good luck with your thesis, and I hope you enjoy this course.
