A Call for Cool Teachers

| 3 Comments | No TrackBacks
My latest research project is aimed at exploring the new ways people are teaching English in the Web 2.0 environment. So I'm interested in people teaching English via blogs, wikis, SecondLife, podcasts and videocasts, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media, including new media I don't even know about yet. What I want to explore are the pedagogical beliefs of the English teachers who use these new technologies.

I have a list of people I'll be talking to over the coming months. And I plan to post short podcasts of some of my interviews with folks. But I'd also love to get suggestions from people about cool English teachers who would be worth interviewing. So, if you happen to be reading this blog, and you have a good idea for a teacher I should talk to, please post a comment. In fact, you don't even have to recommend an English teacher, though I am primarily focusing on English teachers for my research. But I'd be happy to talk to anyone interesting. So feel free to make some suggestions.

Secondlife? Does that still exist? :)

Well teaching can certainly use social media sites but most of the language used there is not of a high calibre. :P

I think we need teachers who can do just that, who can teach English through blog writing. It's just unfortunate to see that some bloggers don't care really much for their grammar or spelling...or maybe they're just that way.
