Group Discussion:

According to Esther, she feels that NiceNet is one tool that we can use to communicate with other educators regarding teaching and learning a target langauge. Albert commented that he was amazed how our counterpart "Raney" in Texas responded within a day or two when we posted our interview with her. I think that NiceNet is an excellent tool to establish a basis for communicating ideas, improving curriculum activities, and developing a rapport with other educators throughout the world. Vito commented that Nicenet was great. He was more so for the pros and thought that NiceNet was a great tool for communication too. Maka commented that NiceNet was very interesting. Although she is new to using technology, she feels that technology as an assistive tool can be useful for us educators. NiceNet is just one of those examples she is talking about. "Communication is everything" she says.
