Meet Maria, from Korea??

I teach in Northwest Indiana every July for INTERLINK Language Center and Valparaiso University.

You can check out my website in it's temporary home of http://chonnam.chonnam.ac.kr/~koreamia

I've got the url for my blog! http://koreamaria.blogspot.com/

Ideas. Ideas. Ideas. I have hundreds of ideas. My students and my colleagues in KOTESOL have thousands of ideas. I have taken this course to help me help them.

I have bits of knowledge, but I want a fast track way to disseminate empowering technological tools to my colleagues in my chapter of KOTESOL. I'm looking for step by step materials to move technophobic colleagues out of their fear of the medium.

I am also looking for motivational techniques to encourage my students to learn independently through technological tools.

The amount of info in my daily life, my creativity, and the limited numbers of hours in a day also have drawn me here for myself.

I have joined this group:
- To prioritize my projects and ideas through better documentation by using blogs.
- To organize materials for easier user accessibility by hearing of the shared real-life experience of Webpresence participants.
- To warehouse materials, ideas, resources (human and material) efficiently and effectively by testing different mixes of technological mediums.

I hope:
- To make a short list of technological recommendations available to my network of students and colleagues based on tasks that they want to accomplish.
- To help promote my community's creativity by teaching them time-efficient technological processes and systems.
- To free up their time so they can focus on content instead of medium.

In short, I hope to help my students and colleagues use technology to communicate better, build better lessons, and make their talents and personalities more visible virtually for a wider international community to enjoy.

Am I in the right place?

Maria
