Hi Isabelle,

My name is Alyshia Olsen; I am a 20 year old college student from Olin College of Engineering. I am a part of a group of 6 Olin College students (we're in Needham, MA, and engineering students) who has taken a year off to work on an education related project. Since you are in the 'e-learning and online teaching' group, I thought you might be interested! Our project is called AlightLearning, and this is our "short" project description:

Under the assumption that within ten years, the landscape of modern education will have fully integrated what we now define as new classroom media: video, online collaboration, open source curriculum and other web tools, we hope to pioneer a web software tool that acts as a platform for this new media, bringing the power of the web and its tools to students, teachers and parents in a secure, comfortable and innovative environment. Our goal is to have our free software at a pilot middle school by April 15th, 2009, continuing to develop and coordinate with our users to create a product that other schools want to pilot and use at their schools, while allowing individual teachers to implement this tool in their own classroom.

Our project, titled Alight Learning, is currently trying to win a competition for startup funding on ideablob.com. You can find us at http://ideablob.com/3975 . We would love your support in the form of a vote within the next couple days, but more importantly we'd love your feedback and comments. Our description on Ideablob is short, and even the one above hardly gets at many of the issues we would like to take a stab at solving, but at least it's a start.

Feel free to email me back, check out alightlearning.com, anything you like!

Thanks,

Alyshia Olsen

Hi Isabelle,

Thanks for looking our site and write a comment that fast.

You are right in your comment. Despite almost all the videos are fee-paying, teachers can previsualized them before they decide to purchase them. Also, there are several free videos with original games and activities in our blog section, so teachers can go to our site to get new ideas for free.

Thanks again and please keep writing comments.

Dear Isabelle,

We already have the website of our project finished and we’d like to share it with you.

The goal of Bablingua is to offer good audiovisual materials filmed in Hispanic countries that can help teachers to enrich their classes. In the website there are short videos, long videos, vocabulary cards and a blog with free activities, games and new ideas for the foreign language class.

Please, visit us at : www.bablingua.com, and let us know your opinion, comments and ideas you have to improve it.

Salut, Isabelle - pour les outils...Moodle, Voki, Ning, Twitter, Netvibes et del.icio.us. Je viens de decouvrir Jog the Web. Mon site favori du moment, c'est Voki - tous les quinze jours, mes eleves s'enregistrent pendant une minute et me l'envoient. Car on n'a jamais assez d'opportunite de se parler 'one on one' en classe, je suis ravie de pouvoir entendre chaque eleve.

Thanks for the invite, Isabelle. I'm a bit leary of extending my network cause I feel like I spend too much time on the internet already. I am however using lots of web 2.0 tools for teaching FSL
FLE online. I am most interested in connecting my students to native French speakers.

I'm a technology coach and a SPanish teacher in Arkansas. It will be good to have a new source for ideas! thanks for including me

Isabelle,

Thank you so much for the links. The online resources for learning new languages are wonderful!

A bientôt!

Hello Isabelle,

Thanks for the links to language resources. I am learning French, but not too successfully.

Hola Isabelle,

Thanks for your warm welcome. I look forward to getting more involved here especially because right now, I am the local techno geek in my foreign language department. I love to collaborate, share ideas, steal ideas and just stay current, so I hope to hear from you and make other friends soon.

Hi, Isabelle.
Back from Language World. Head buzzing!! I will contribute as much as I can.

Hello Isabelle, Thank you for sharing!

Hi Isabelle,
G'day from Oz! Great to hear from you. Have to say that this is all very new to me. I am very happy to share my ideas. However, I tend to be an in-house teacher. Could share some Bloom's taxonomy learning centres with you, if you could use them. Really great with those middle school learners, especially, if like me, you keep on copping new kids in the classroom half way through the year.
A bientot

Hello Isabelle! I would love to share experiences and new ideas about the use of technology in language classrooms. Thanks for adding me as a friend! :)

¡Muchas gracias! Thanks for sharing. I am always looking for new ideas.

¡Gracias! I appreciate all of the help that I can get. Tú eres muy amable.

Hi Isabelle
Thanks for your message.

Best wishes from a Saddleworthian in Scotland

Muchas Gracias!! I did check out the sites and will have to spend some more time doing so but will have to find some time. i think that we are going to try to integrate this for our teachers who want to use the site next year.
