http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1A6PSo63Qs this is the link to the project for my chinese class, my student took her favorite Chinese song then used dimsum translator and AVS editing softwear to translate her song into english. She did an amazingly accurate job.

Here is my Proposal for the Class Project

I will give the students 4 different options and about 6 months to complete the projects. First assign them to groups of 3 or 4, then present them their options which are: 1 to make a chinese movie about what ever topic they choose, documentary, action..etc. 2 make a podcast or blog of an instruntional topic i.e. how to make cake presented in chinese. 3 Present in class one of your favortie things such as guitar, football, skateboarding etc 4 translate your favorite book chapter movie scene and song into chinese.

then give students time to discuss with group which progect best suits them and have them submit a rough draft of what they plan to do

Finally schedule out their presentation days and give them all a dead line for the final projects to be finished and previewed by me so as to make any corrections b4 the presentations.

I pretty much already had a good view a technologies to use in class rooms i never understood why teachers would never use them, but i think that this class has helped me to learn about a lot more of things and how to use them more effectively in the class room! i have already implied several of the things we have learned to my students in Riverton. We all made gmail accounts and are using the google calender and the google sites for class information and updates. I have really enjoyed learning how to use all these helpful tools.

I did not know about all the great internet tools we have to help aid us in the education processes! From google calendars to creating your own wiki's and social networks! what a wonderful age of technology we live in! Check out my new class website for chinese!
