Blog day 8

Today in class we discussed language labs and forums.  Both ideas were shown to us and we discussed the application for each.  I believe that I would be able to use the language lab for my gr. 7 FSL class and I think it would be very useful.  I can see the practicality of this application because it is hard to get the students to speak in class because they seem to be a bit self conscious at first.  Also, it would help me mark their pronciation because I can play the recording over and over if I need to.

On a side note, Jean also showed us the site Dialogus, which I immediately forwarded to the Etudes Social teacher at my school because I think it would be an interesting site for her to explore with her students.

The rest of the class we started working on our final project.  I easily made my Photo Booth recording but it took me 10 minutes to figure out how to save it to my desk top.  I am more familiar with a PC so I find the Mac a little difficult to use at times.  I ended the class by uploading our Photo Booth video to my Wikispace.  Thanks for the help today.
