“…This implies that utilization of Blogger platform is weak among educational technology students. This finding is supported by the finding of Kenning (2007) posits that Blogs are a potentially valuable tool for entrepreneurship. Their capacity for allowing users to publish and share their views quickly and easily opens a number of possibilities for students and if its utilization is low in a day to day classroom setting, how then can students perform effectively in the global world.…”

“…This may be connected with the observation that educational technology resources are not practically utilized during teaching and learning in our colleges of education and universities and that students' exposure to the theoretical aspect of educational technology is alarming while its utilization is discouraging (Nwobas, 2011). Kenning (2007) posits that Blogs are a potentially valuable tool for entrepreneurship. Their capacity for allowing users to publish and share their views quickly and easily opens a number of possibilities for students and if its utilization is low in a day to day classroom setting, how then can students perform effectively in the global world.…”

The popularity of mobile devices brings on new challenges for teacher education. Based on complexity theory, this qualitative study1 seeks to better understand the dynamics of a social group, especially the conditions for the emergence of learning in a mobile educational experience. Sixty in-service teachers in Brazil participated in a six-week course via WhatsApp. The analysis of the answers to questionnaires and the corpus generated by the teachers’ interactions indicate that the devices’ mobility favored interactions, control distribution, and social repertoire of possibilities. The findings also indicate that the teachers recognize the potential of mobile technology for mediating learning experiences.

The shift from traditional towards more learner-centered approaches to teaching has resulted in the concept of authenticity becoming central to Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). As a relational notion, authenticity has to do with the interaction between learners and input materials in terms of appropriate responses, as opposed to its notion of genuineness as an absolute quality. It paves the way for language to be authenticated through context, as it encourages a use-to-learn rather than a learn-to-use approach. Using authentic materials requires a great deal of attention to be paid to not only the contextualization and authenticity of tasks, but also to the incorporation of genuine texts into task design, which itself has been revolutionized through modern technology. Using the Web as a technological tool has resulted in another version of authenticity, which might be in line with finder authenticity. The main aim of this paper is to argue that the notion of authenticity has come a long way from genuineness to finder authenticity.
