9th Chinese Articulation Workshop

Back to Shanghai. It is so good to know something new about teaching Chinese and meet many old/new friends.

Here is a content of my presentation – When Tradition Meets ICT in 9th Chinese Articulation Workshop in HongKong.

• What is ICT?
• How does ICT help the class？
• How to make activities and games?
• What is virtual class?

In the presentation, I didn’t have time to introduce all the resources, or demo detailed steps about how to make “it”? So I categorized some frequently-used applications, websites, etc and will gradually upload video tutorial of them.

Customized Interactive Chinese Learning Game Generators Coming Soon

In the past months, I have been keeping working on the customized interactive Chinese learning game generators for teachers teaching Chinese as second language. Whatever textbooks you are using, my game generators will fit your content. Why? Because you not only can use the huge picture database on OutlookChinese, but also can upload your own pictures and design your own questions. All the games you created can be played by the whole class and be inserted into your blog/website.

These Chinese game generators are under test on our test site now, which will be released on OutlookChinese on April 26th. Go back to visit OutlookChinese on April 26, you will find lots of wonderful games!
