Welcome to ExtremeTechnoELT!
ExtremeTechnoELT
is a community for advanced users of IT and programmers who are involved in
English Language Teaching in some way. You will feel most comfortable in this
community if
- you consider Office
programs (Word, PowerPoint etc), e-mail and websurfing to be really very basic
- HTML is old stuff and
you know your XML from your DHTML and your PHP (or at least you know what
those acronyms mean and what the technologies can do)
- you want to explore
whatever is currently at the leading edge of technology such as wikis and
blogs and in particular are interested in setting these technologies up for
yourself, rather than just using them
- you want to push the
technological boundaries, and frequently inform yourself of what other industries
are doing and how they're using IT
- you are the first to
admit that half of what you're playing with will probably end up in the Recycle
Bin
- you acknowledge that
there are real-world limitations for the use of technology, but you want a
sandpit and want to play with abandon without being told that what you're
doing isn't feasible in the "real world"!!
You will probably not
feel particularly comfortable here if
- you're a techno-sceptic
- you are struggling with
e-mail discussion groups, what a blog is, or how to set up your own website
If you consider yourself
a novice or intermediate-level user there are other communities in which you'll
probably feel more comfortable, such as the Webheads.
If, however, you want a
community in which to discuss advanced use of IT in ELT, come on in!
