Description of my project

Last year I began the first stage in my project, which included creating a classroom website to maintain contact with students and parents at home. This year, I would like to work on expanding my website to include interactive components, such as audio-visual tutorials for different reading and writing strategies. This would allow for parents to help students at home and for students to have online support when doing work at home. Since the strategies are based on reading and writing skills, the students can apply the tutorials to not only their English work, but to other academic areas as well. My hope is to take sme of the stress off the students, and provide them with additional home support when it may not be available due to the variety of students I teach.

HI. This will be a great project. I would recommend chatting with Marilyn Tamblyn or looking at her website - she has a lot of useful student resources that sound like similar items that you will be looking to do. She is also a member of the TLN and, I am sure, would be a wealth of information.

This is going to be interesting! Do have some ideas about what tools you might be using to create your AV based tutorials?
