This was a fun and interesting assignment. I have wanted to use Moodle for a long time, but have never gotten around to it. I've seen workshop presentations of instructors using the glossary function in the past and felt that would have been an excellent activity for my ESL students.
Of course, having live students in the course and trying to follow the instructions you've given for using the technology could open a whole new host of issues that need troubleshooting, but just making a start like this gives me confidence to actually try this out for next semester with no excuses.
Well, it is just a start but with more time devoted to creating new online activities and re-vamping of f2f activities, I'm sure I can produce course experiences that students will enjoy and feel satisfied the courses offered an opportunity to learn and grow.

The glossary is a very versatile tool and with ESL students it can be used in a variety of ways:
ReplyDelete1. you enter the term and they enter the definition.
2. you enter the term and they compose a sentence with that term.
3. you create an entry for a specific topic and they create a list of words forthat topic.
