I'm FINALLY getting going

Well, I am definitely a slow starter with my TLN project, but I am happy to say that things are now well on their way. I changed my mind MANY times about what I would do - mostly because our school has no Mac lab and old PC's.

When I read about the mobile mac lab, I jumped on it and reserved one for two weeks so that my students can create a meaningful multimedia presentation in their second language. My grade 9 class will be creating an iMovie project about music and peace. My grade 10's will be creating radio broadcasts. All groups will get to use iMovie HD and Garage Band.

At the end of the project, I will have the students fill out an online survey to see what they thought of this experience, if they feel that it enhanced their second language learning experience. My hope is that they will feel that they are competent enough in their second language to complete a project like this, and that they will be proud of their work.
