Class 2-23-09

Tonights class was focused on developing oral language in the classroom. Aaron and Kizuna presented on the topic. Next, we moved to the GLL and tried to assess students oral proficiency based on the SOLOM. This was a great activity except for the technichal difficulties. Part of the class then moved onto the next activity which was finding resources that could be used in an oral activity. I thought this was good for two reasons. First, it was great to take a look at some of the resources in the library and get an idea of what is available or can be used. Secondly, it made me apply my knowledge and think of how this be used in my classroom. How can I apply these resources using oral language. The only thing that limits resources in the classroom is creativity. Being creative keeps the classroom fun and exciting for the students.
