Presenter: ** Cynthia Chiu-Hua Ho-Donaldson, ** Chinese Teacher School: ** [|Spence School]

Description: ** In this presentation, I will demonstrate how I integrate different types of computer technology into teaching Chinese language in a classroom setting. Examples using Smart Board, Powerpoint, Moodle/elearning, audio and video media etc. will be included. I will show how I use the Smart Board to teach vocabulary and sentence structures. I will also present how Powerpoint is incorporated into my lesson plans; for example, having students record themselves reading their own picture books, using the Powerpoint application. Finally, I will demonstrate how I use Moodle as an asynchronous online learning system in class and outside of the classroom.
