In this lesson, I use the Lab 300 Telephone function, Duo Media Assistant recorder and Class Speaker/Model Student.

I use this activity for Pre-Intermediate and up ESL students

  • I model the language of market survey questions with my class before putting my students in a group, launching the Do Media Assistant and engaging the Telephone mode.
  • I write all the numbers that students can ring on the board. These numbers correspond to the logged in students and their respective computer workstations.
  • Students call each other and pretend to be telemarketers. (Students take turns at this or I assign some students to be telemarketers and some to be customers).
  • Students then ask customers questions about their likes and dislikes: "On a scale of one to ten, one being a lot and ten being not at all , How much do you like...?"(or) adverbs of frequency: "How often do you...?" Often? Sometimes? Rarely? ". Students write down their partners' responses.
  • The structures you use will depend on the proficiency of your cohort of students and the language you want students to practise.
  • After students have collected data from the class, I get students to individually record the results of their surveys using the DUO media assistant recording function. For example, "Three people said that they liked ... a lot. Two people said ..."
  • I then play these recordings out to the class on the SANAKO class speaker for peer correction and feedback or I use one or two exemplary student's recording in the model student mode as a dictagloss transfer and then get students to work in pairs to reconstruct these students' reports.

Games have always been a part of the learning process -  whether board, card or word games. The general idea is to enhance learning by application of knowledge with some reward provided to the learner. If we apply these loose criteria we may find that many of us have in some way incorporated games in education. But now due to the massive recent growth of the gaming industry serious learning games have the potential to change the way we approach education as a whole.

 Since the early 90's edutainment has attempted to merge education and gaming applications but the results by educators seemed more like work than entertainment. Now with gaming studios and educators collaborating, the outcomes are as enjoyable as they are educative. In general the way we look at gaming has changed a lot in recent years. The affordability, variation and availability of online games in have made it possible to create games that teach specific skills or lessons.

Google Books

As you might already know Google Inc. has been attempting to scan and digitalize all books currently published to make them available to the public, in a project called Google Books Search. Many might approve of this initiative as a step forward in the democratization of knowledge but for students and educators alike this might have a more practical function.

Since late 2004 Google has been scanning and adding books to its catalog with the help of many universities and to date has uploaded more than 7 million books. The Google Books Library Project includes bibliographic information, as well as snippets of text from books which may often be previewd.

If a book is out of print and in the public domain, its content may be fully available to read or to download, making research the work of only a few keystrokes. In addition to this, newer versions of the search include the ability to browse for books with similar content to possibly improve better understanding of subject material.

But there have also been some drawbacks to the project, due to mainly errors on Google’s part. Incorrect dating of books and classification errors not to mention mismatches involving authors, titles and text might make one think Google bit off more than it could chew.

As professor Geoffrey Nunberg wrote in the Education Chronicle “Books aren’t simply vehicles for communicating information,... managing a vast library collection requires different skills, approaches, and data than those that enabled Google to dominate Web searching."

In the end it may be that once these problems are dealt with, Google Books Search might be every an important research tool to help complement traditional information gathering. For now the jury is still out.
