“S.N.O.W.BLOG” is Language Connections specially designed web-based environment. The essence of “S.N.O.W.BLOG” lies in building and managing gated web-based social communities of learners. It facilitates social intergroup and intragroup interpersonal interactions, and fosters empathic dialogues, across religious, socio-cultural and group identity differences.
It is a “high touch” “high tech” computer- mediated and tutor- assisted environment with common major themes and inquiry-based learning.
In Language Connections dialogue model we rely on emerging technologies related to ICT, social networking and authorship. We also use the digital media, to redesign the form of high-touch human intervention throughout the educational instructional process.
It is an educational model designed to foster the essential skills for the 21st century’s pluralistic societies.
