]]> Comment on Using Flickr in Language Classes by Tim http://e-poche.net/2007/07/17/using-flickr-in-langauge-classes/#comment-119521 Tim Fri, 23 Jan 2009 15:25:51 +0000 http://e-poche.net/2007/07/17/using-flickr-in-langauge-classes/#comment-119521 I enjoyed the article. I think, though, that it overlooks one important question regarding access to and use of Internet tools to teach language learning: Are we assuming that what we know is what students know? What I mean is, are the procedures for getting access to and using Flickr imagery as clear in the minds of learners with differing linguistic and cultural knowledge about Internet and computer procedures as we might think they are? What would, for instance, a person with low literacy skills in her own language do with the instructions (or lack thereof) on Flickr pages? What would members of some male-dominated cultures do with the easy access on Flickr to images of women interacting with men? What would children with special needs do with the "self-guided" (or unguided) nature of the Flickr environment? I think we all have a responsibility, when projecting our ideas about educational technology, to be aware of the needs of people outside of our immediate teaching experience, and think of the most challenging cases for application of our ideas. I don't think I've found that kind of awareness in this article. Am I wrong? I enjoyed the article.

I teach senior high students in Taiwan and I am looking into ways to increase their motivation. I wonder if any of your readers have experience using a group/class blog to upload photos or post links and so on. I am also thinking about doing something with Twitter. My students are really into sending text messages to each other. Surely there's a way to utilize that in some way! Flickr sounds like an interesting idea.

Get together a network of English students to send tweets throughout the day/week, perhaps assigning students to post at last one message and respond to one message daily. The nature of Twitter is different than a forum or blog, as it demands quick updates throughout the day. I would imagine that students could get quite involved with the idea.

I also heard from another trusted source recently about Lexxica being "buggy." Hopefully they can get whatever problems they have worked out so it can be of greater use to learners, especially in institutional settings. Hi Mun….thanks for me know about the crashes.

I tried it upon returning to Korea for a student of mine, but the site isn't working well at all. It crashed almost every session, and even though we set it up for English-English, we only get Japanese translations. We've tried it out on two different computers now and it still crashes constantly. Flaschcard exchange is a site I've used before. I don't see Lexxica giving much more than that and at least the other site works. I also saw the presentation at JALT.
