We have been using http://myefa.org both in our computer lab and as distance learning for our level 3 and 4 ESL students for about a year now with great success. However, I do have a couple of comments from our lessons learned for those thinking about using it: teachers can (and should) provide a copy of the origninal cds for their students who might want to use from home. There is no copy-right violation, and the information about how to order the CDs is available on the website. It is important to provide students with the cds given the video component, which could work poorly on older computers or those without a fast Internet connection. Because the cds will automatically open to the correct link, it also eliminates problems associated with incorrect spelling, etc. Also, we found it necessary to use cds even in the lab as the videos take an enormous amount of server space as well as seemed not to work well if several students were trying to access the same episode ! simulaneously. Just a few thoughts... Ruthann Duffy ESL Tech Coordinator Essential Skills Program Shoreline Community College 16101 Greenwood Ave N.
