Join us for two days focusing on students, language learning and some of the technology tools available for integration in UW courses. A showcase of technology integration successes by CLP Instructors will give you a taste of what UW language students are doing throughout the state. In addition, participants will work hands-on with tools for engaging in all four skills in and beyond the classroom. All tools are easy for students and instructors to use for presentation and interaction. Participants will develop materials for fall courses enhancing current curriculum. These materials can be integrated into instructor's current web pages, CMS (D2L/Learn@UW, Moodle, etc.) instances, or may stand alone for courses not using these tools. Our results indicate that students are producing more in the target language than ever before, and they enjoy it. Come see what others are doing and get started on making it happen with your students.
