Pathways4Collaboration by Dafne Gonzalez
I've just listened to Dafne's slidecast with an overview of her past decade online collaborative experiences. It's just amazing to see how much she has done for her students and for the online communities she's part of. Her talk to the CALL-IS audience in the TESOL convention in Denver proves the reason I've been Dafne's fan and mentee for so long.

Walls Talking
""
This is a totally simple and engaging project started by a dear Webhead friend, Sasha Sirk. Graffiti is all over, in some cases art, others vandalism. So, this project has the basic purpose of making a digital wall of graffiti around the globe, but from the beginning, I can see it will have a much wider scope and deeper meanings will surface. I can see discussions about cultural issues, historic background, art, vandalism, semantics, life.
I´m totally excited to be part of it, and have already invited my students to join me. Let´s see where it takes us. Before Sashsa started, I had already been taking some photos of graffiti in Brasilia. Perfect momentum for joining Sasha.
How about you? Why don´t you give it a try and start taking a look at your city with a different perspective and augmented lens?
For more information about the project, access Listen to the Walls.

Cool Tool of the Week - Toon Doo
I've been a fan of Toon Doo creations, but just as a mere spectator of its creative uses mainly for pedagogical purposes.
Above is my little share for a new course I'm designing.
In fact, one very very cool use of Toon Doo was shared with me as part of my friends' final course project in the WebTools4Educators session I was moderating. Students are to create comics to make idioms and phrasal verbs visual!
Lots of ideas are popping up in my mind to use Toon Doo with my teens?
How about you? Have you tested it? Do you have any examples to share? How would you use it?

Cool Tool of the Week - A visual dictionary
Shahi - A visual dictionary | Blachan Lab
Originally uploaded by carlaarena
Shahi is a fantastic tool for educational use. Just type a word, you'll see Flickr photos related to it on the left, plus explanations with examples of how the word is used.
I can already picture many ways to use them with students. How about you? Any creative ideas?

Twitter Mosaic
Many of us in Twitter keep praising the advantages of being connected through microblogging. Thanks to Bill Graziadei, I can now make a Twitter Mosaic. It's clear to me that everyone in this human mosaic adds value to my professional and personal life in such meaningful ways that are beyond words.
