Comment by Abena Bailey on December 10, 2012 at 7:49pm Thanks Catalina. It is a loooong hashtag right? I'm a fairly latecomer to Twitter so hopefully I can be more concise with my tags in future.
For us, the language awareness part is essential given the range of nationalities and languages we have in the school but this kind of awareness is important for any collaborating countries, I agree.
Cheers for the comments :)
Comment by Catalina Valenzuela on December 10, 2012 at 9:49am I really like your proposal. May be we all need to implement a kind of language awareness project as OhMyEnglish to be reduce potential frictions.
In terms of your design I like the fact that you take your readership step by step. It feels like a tasting session. Yumi ! And a great motivator for those involved and to convince those who are not.
Just one suggestion: Try to keep you # shorter so tweets can be a bit longer.
Comment by Abena Bailey on December 7, 2012 at 12:31pm Thank you Susan. I really appreciate the feedback. The project itself is coming to an end with final edits taking place over the weekend but the learners have all worked very hard and have much to be proud of.
Comment by Susan Adams on December 7, 2012 at 9:36am While I'm writing you elsewhere :) I want to comment on your "Oh My English" video. What a brilliant concept! The video is very cute and I love the way it will get kids thinking.
