Week 7: Grant by Jacqueline

I have to mention that I don't know a lot about how to get grants in USA. I think the websites you provied are a good star.
On the other hand, If I have the opportunity to get a grant, I will invest this money in buying at least two digital cameras, good microphones and a good convertor. The videos will be used to record the Spanish plays which is a requirement for the finals of the two levels I teach. I will ask the students if I can film those presentations for educational purposes. This recorded videos will help others newcomers to see how other students struggle in getting the skills of the languages. These videos also will help students to see how others students prepare a ten or fifteen minutes play by using all the artifacts they need to get a good grade. This is agood way to get our own educational resources for the use of teachers and students.
Because learning languages requires a lot of practice in pronunciation and listening skills, I will use the microphones to allow the students to listen to different Spanish podcast and practice some vocabulary. Then they will be able to listen to themselves by using the Audacity Program.
I am glad to be part of this class because I learn a lot not only about technology but about different viewpoints of address a class by using technology.
