It's always popular with students, and I might give the smartphones variation a try as everyone has them here in Korea. I guess it doesn't have to be smartphones as long as they can SMS each other, but there are issues of being uncomfortable giving their mobile numbers to each other (and possibly, but less likely, with email addresses for the smartphone version). I guess you'd want to be CCed into all their messages for error correction etc later.<br /><br />You could do something similar by getting them to leave messages on each others' answerphones (something again I have done a low tech version of, with much success, with dictaphones)<br /><br />Other ideas:<br />- If they have cameras, they could take very close up photos of things in the classroom and send them to you or each other for "It must be the door handle" etc. <br />- Er, that's it for ideas so farAlex Casehttp://www.tefl.net/alexcasenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572501698854836939.post-19351009358492874342009-07-21T19:58:28.085+02:002009-07-21T19:58:28.085+02:00Karenne,

This is eye-opening for the student. He can hear what he sounds like, and it's a great way for him to do self-correction exercises. I can also record my pronunciation of a difficult word and email it to the student so he can practice at home.<br /><br />One more idea: if the smartphones can play mp3s, you can create a listening lab in the classroom!Blythe Musterichttp://www.ovient.com/english-blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572501698854836939.post-34054559974124785802009-07-20T21:53:30.116+02:002009-07-20T21:53:30.116+02:00Karenne,

I really think this is the wave of the future and you are preparing business folks to critically think with information and communication technologies. Now if only high schools would catch on and prepare the students with lessons like these before they enter their career fields!ShellTerrellhttp://teacherbootcamp.edublogs.org/noreply@blogger.com
