Week 2: January 18–24, 2010
Theme: Many clouds: A technological lens
This week introduces a discussion of how to see new technologies through technological lens or clouds. As teachers we must figure out what different technologies are good for and leverage that to our advantage. The focus will be on key concepts like tagging, RSS, folksonomies, and aggregation. We will introduce sample implementations using these concepts for language learning and explore techniques and tools for aggregation of content on the web. Participants will learn to tag and configure their blogs and other web artifacts associated with this course in such a way that their content can be aggregated by other participants here.
Objectives
By the end of this week you should have addressed several of the following projects:
- Explored and implemented ways of aggregating each other's blogs and wikis, etc .
- For example, tag at least ONE Flickr photo of YOU with the tag evomlit
- View the evolving photo planet at http://taggalaxy.com, using the tag evomlit

- Explored and implemented ways of aggregating content from other EVO courses.

Hi all,
I feel some relief when finding the recordings of some important sessions I haven't been able to attend. That's really reassuring. Thanks moderators :) Mounia, Morocco.#evomlit

You're welcome. I feel relief to see that the comments feature on these pages is working. Comments are sparse here (although our Ning and YGroup are hopping, and http://twibes.com/group/evomlit shows a lot of twitter back channeling). Basically we're trying to erect a lot of walls where people can leave graffiti, so if you see a space, write on it :-) - Vance
