11. Discussion boards
✤ Discussion boards > forums > topics >

topic or each others’ replies
✤ Great for keeping record on general
discussion

sources of media (web links, pictures,
etc.)

✤ Also great for fostering question and
answer discussion
✤ Teacher posts question/topic, students
discuss in the comments
✤ Students post private posts, teacher sees
all of them and comments on their posts
✤ Students and teachers alike post blog
entries and everybody can comment on
everything

14. Blog demonstration

15. Wikis

✤ Everybody edits pages and creates links
to new pages
