Hi everyone I hope you are having a great weekend! When the program began, I was researching online about how a teen, Tim Doner, used technology to aid his fluency and accuracy with languages with authentic exposure. For example, the teenager in the clip uses the Internet to draw elements of blended learning before engaging in conversation with others using the foreign language he acquired. In addition, he would also elicit responses for pronunciation by posting YouTube clips of himself and then gets the feedback from native speakers in the chosen foreign language. If you are short for time to watch the whole clip, his learning strategy is in minutes 4:15 to 6:00. I hope you enjoy the clip! https://youtu.be/Km9-DiFaxpU
Hey everyone. I'm really enjoying my "Teachers Institute on Parliamentary Democracy" which started today in Victoria. Here I am enjoying some down time relaxing! Just kidding! I was posing for this picture. Because we are not having class tomorrow night, I would like you to watch a video of your choice from TED. If you are familiar with Ted Talks, you'll know what I mean. If, however, you have never watched a TED Talk, google "ted talks" on your computer or phone, and you will be asked to choose a topic. One of my favourite TED speakers is Sir Ken Robinson. You may want to check out this talk, at https://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_how_to_escape_education_s_death_valley Anyway. When we meet next week, I will ask you to share what you watched and what you got out of it. Until next week! Enjoy!
Blog Assignment#1 Hey all. Here is your first blog assignment....when you finally get connected! I'd like you post a picture of yourself. And then under the picture, I'd like you to write a sentence or two about yourself. This is another way for us to get to know each other better. Week 1 was great! I really enjoyed our first couple classes, and Debbie told me she enjoyed her class with you too. See you soon. Marc
I don't agree. Hahahaha xo
