Comments on: Plan For 2008 “The Best…” Lists http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/2008/07/02/plan-for-2008-the-best-lists/ ...For Teaching ELL, ESL, & EFL Sat, 22 Nov 2008 09:16:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Frances DiDavide http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/2008/07/02/plan-for-2008-the-best-lists/#comment-2321 Frances DiDavide Wed, 09 Jul 2008 18:39:36 +0000 http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/?p=1638#comment-2321 I love the idea of "Harnessing the Wisdom of the Crowd"! Your sites are always so useful so keep it coming! Polls will certainly help to get the very best from your lists, it is a little hard to keep up with you!

My classroom has been a more engaging place for my struggling/reluctant learners because of your lists, and I know I've become a more effective teacher because of them. :) Larry,

Who doesn't love a poll? Can you add a way to categorize choices by grade or experience level? Plus, native language? What about subject or lesson taught? Sounds like too much but maybe we can add comments for this info to see the real world application? So often I find one site is a better fit for Spanish vs. French native speakers or any such combo. Not sure if this is the way the site navigates or content. Is it cultural? I don't know but trying them all helps :) Also, some sites seem too ambitious. While they may have content for all subjects, often what looks good doesn't translate so to speak. It's hard for me to incorporate some material into the classroom as it is often broad in scope. Specific theme or subject seems to work best for me. Yet going off topic can yield aha classroom moments and unity. Just some random thoughts. Brilliant! Who doesn’t love a poll?

These lists are wonderful resources. One suggestion on the Readers Choice label. How about Learners Choices ? Your lists, the Internet in all its wonders, and lots of what happens in class have successfully blurred the lines between teacher and student for me. After 30-years-plus as a teacher, call me Learner! Larry, do you get any sleep? These lists are wonderful resources.
