About the Orchard
For the time being, the Dekita Orchard aggregates feeds from the University of Manitoba's Connectivism and Connective Knowledge Online Course taking place from September to November 2008. This aggregation includes contributions from ELT and other foreign language teachers worldwide that participate in the course. The purpose is to facilitate communication and provide the ELT community and other interested parties with a glimpse into the conversations that participants have on their blogs and in other locations, as well as gather the photos and sound files they choose to share.
How do I use the Orchard?
You may choose the folder in the sidebar or skim the posts in the main column, follow the links, and leave comments on the sites. If you'd like, subscribe to any of the Orchard's feeds in your feed reader of choice. If you'd like to discuss the inclusion of any particular feed, feel free to talk to us!
