Guest post by Marina Petrovic, Online English and Serbian teacher I’ve been teaching languages online since 2008. You may imagine that I have tried out a myriad of different tools since my first online lesson! For synchronous teaching: Skype/FB After working with various virtual classrooms for years, starting with ancient DimDim and then pricey AdobeConnect and popular WizIQ, I ended up using Vyew. For synchronous and asynchronous teaching: Google documents Of course, Skype along with Google doc! For asynchronous teaching: Blogger and Facebook page for sharing content Blogger is the simplest form of blog I would advise teachers to use. I hope you enjoyed learning how I perfected my online teaching in years while downsizing the number of tools and platforms. I would like to invite you to share your online teaching experiences, your blogs and your favourite tools! You can now import questions into Learnclick or export Learnclick quizzes.
