Ton+Koenraad

Hi, My name is Ton Koenraad.

I work as an ICT-E consultant in Teacher Education in Holland.

I have always been interested in MOOs/MUVEs (BTW, referring here to good old txt-environments :-)) so looking forward to new gaming facilities and this new adventure in 3D in particular and meeting you all in cyberspace! My professional focus is on how technology can promote language learning so my main interest is in added value, whatever the tool.

In that respect... can I ask your attention for the recent launch of the online version of the **LanguageQuest Assessment Tool (LQAT),** which is meant to support teachers in assessing the potential effectiveness of a particular WebQuest in terms of second-language acquisition and to guide the design process for WebQuests for language learning.

It is available here on the Dutch National Schoolnet http://www.kennisnet.nl/cpb/thema/webquest/talenquest/meetlat/index.php?lang=en

For more info on the LanguageQuest project that produced this tool see: http://www.ecml.at/mtp2/LQuest/html/LQuest_E_pdesc.htm or http://www.koenraad.info/CALL 

I do **my occasional blogging** in the portal at the MICaLL project. http://www.micall.net/Members/TonK/tonblog/2006

The MICaLL (**Moderating Intercultural Collaboration and Language Learning)** project  aims to network Teacher Education institutes and provide content and tools so that they can offer their students projects involving practical experiences with Web 2.0 applications (Blog, Wiki etc). Ciao Ton
