Blog day 6

Today, we explored how to teach using lessons for students to watch at home.  We discussed how times are changing and now to use class time more wisely, it is a good idea to have students watch the lesson at home and do the practice in class.  To reinforce this idea, we watched two videos on line that demonstrated language lessons.  This seems like a much more efficient way to teach students because it will enable you, the teacher to cover more materials in class.
After seeing and talking about changing the way we teach languages, we then started working on a video.  We were given our own Macs to use to create a video on teaching a concept in another language.  We then went into groups to film a short segment on teachign introductions and greetings in French.  When we returned to class we imported our video clips to our Macs and started to work on putting our videos together.  Unfortunately, I did not get too far and need to continue tomorrow.
