And then there’s a guide like ours, which came out of an EVO 2014 session titled “Crafting the e-Perfect e-Textbook”. It will guide you through several tools of our choice. Tools that we’ve used extensively in class and with teacher trainees. Tools that cover areas of relevance to the language learning process, though other disciplines can take advantage of these tools. It’s a question of exploring their potential and then letting your imagination run free.
Our guide has a simple structure, hopefully, very user-friendly. You can pick it up whenever you have the time, feel like looking at a specific (type of) tool or have peace of mind to do it. You can pick it up, leave it and resume later on. You can start by taking a look at a tool of your choice, go through the tutorial, then go on to register yourself (create and account) online (don’t forget to jot down the name of the site, username and password in a separate file) and start exploring it hands-on. If you have someone to explore it with live and exchange timely ideas, so much the better. You can always voice chat in Skype and explore the tool together in a browser window. We (Fernanda and Teresa) do it very often. Learning informally and collaboratively is fabulous and very effective. :-)
