Today's Website~
● Issuu-You Publish
What is it about?
● Issuu is an easy-to-use website and it offers a simple tool for you to publish your
documents, reports and any unique publications on line.
● Issuu displays the published documents with page-turning effects. Readers can
also enlarge the page and move around with the mouse to read the texts at ease.
Why is the content good for language learning?
How might you use it in a language teaching context?
● First, I would introduce this tool and we will talk about what they should do before
they publish their works.
● I will also teach students how to convert their files into PDF files so that they can upload
their files later on. I will also introduce the library/bookshelf function and help them to
manage and organize their documents, reports or portfolio. It would be best to embed
their works in the school blog, and make it a simple presentation of their works.
● Classroom notes, story-telling, photo books, diaries and journals, comic books,
student newspaper, book reports and summaries, movie reviews could be published
according to the classroom activities teachers select according to the learning context.
● Embed the "bookshelf" widget into the blog, and it displays the preview of students'
works. It also collects the works presented by students during their learning process.
● If students publish their classroom notes, it could be their best e-notes.
● Students can download the works or notes made by their peers (PDF files).

guide their students and help students select appropriate online publications when

● Once students publish their documents, everyone can search them online. Therefore,
teachers should make students aware of the publishing options (private or public).
Be cautious when they store their own documents in the library.
