5. new technologies to try
5. Delicious can help the 3 Italian teachers in my district coordinate and streamline good websites to use with our Epson projectors and DiLL software. 4. When doing culture sections, I'd like to use wordle as an anticipatory set. Students can yell out words in Italian from the wordle to generate a big-picture for the cultural aspects we are about to learn. 3. Voki in the computer lab 2. Using text-to-speech when reading current event articles together, as a class. 1. Bubbl.us - to use with current events.

4. ideas to share with others:
4. Using Google Maps - Earth View in the classroom 3. Using PollEverywhere in class as do-nows or closure activities. 2. Using podcasts in the classroom to incorporate current events and grammatical structures. 1. Use the tic-tac-toe board to plan stations

3. principles of UDL
1. Multiple means of representation 2. Multiple means of expression 3. Engagement

2. changes in your teaching to reach all learners in the Digital Age
2. Take advantage of the DiLL software and the computer lab designed specifically for the world language department. 1. If we set up an Edmodo account successfully, I'd like to totally implement the way I assign homework. I'd rather have students post videos and comments to questions I pose them. The goal is to use the language OUTSIDE of our traditional 42 minute class period.

1. BIG idea to implement on Monday
1. I'd like to try Edmodo with my students to facilitate communication in Italian outside of the 42 minute class period we have during the day. They can even form a network of Italian speaking students within the High School
