After exploring many different Digital
Learning Communities (DLCs), I focused my attention on those that had
the potential to offer a wider variety of language and cultural
instructional resources. I created a DLC tag bundle in Delicious to
have easy access to them.
The DLC that I've decided to join is
Connexions. Connexions is an open space that integrates a myriad of
cross-curricular materials that students can use independently. I
found it particularly interesting because, from the Spanish language
and culture learning perspective, students can find all the resources
that they need to revisit and enrich the concepts and skills taught
in the classroom.
Making a DLC like Connexions more
appealing to students can be achieved by showing and modeling its
effectiveness as well as its endless possibilities in other subject
areas. It is important that we teach our students how to efficiently
connect different sources of information, so that they can construct
their own learning and become self-directed learners.
