Objective #4: to assist preservice and inservice FL teachers in the creation of sample lesson plans that integrate FL communications technologies in their curricula.
These are just a few samples of what could be done. I suggest
you also consult a handy-dandy book called
Virtual
Connections , edited by Mark Warschauer. This book contains over
125 activities for the FL classroom that use these very technologies you
have now mastered. The activities were written by FL teachers from
all over the United States and the world; many of the entries detail long-term
and on-going class projects. You might find much additional inspiration
in these pages. (Now, I also should tell you that my colleague, Bob
Ponterio, and I wrote the Appendices for this book. Think not,
however, that we get any beans for hawking this book. We just happen
to think it is a valuable resource for FL teachers who are interested in
using electronic communications technologies to enhance their FL instruction
and their students' learning.)
