- Hey Bill and Kim!
Glad to see you guys here! I still don't have this totally figured out yet---I can't see the annotations that I left on this page yesterday.
But using this Diigo sidebar has helped because now I can at least see you guys!
This definitely has potential for schools, Bill. I'm planning on using it with my PLC to reflect on shared articles.
I think they'll naturally translate the ideas to their classrooms.
Rock on,
Bill - post by plugusin - I like the idea of the school -- but the story has that "Future's so bright you gotta wear shades" feel. It would be really interesting to write about it, as a way to see how close to this reality it comes! - post by johnnorton

- Hi Lauren,
Thank you very much for posting this link. It´s really a "killer application" for language teachers. It´s a great tool for task-based language learning. I think it is a very easy and powerful way to publish task-outcomes in a 2.0 way
