Hello everyone!

I just wanted to let you know that I have created a technoLanguages ning network. I know you aren't all languages teachers, but if you can pass the link on to those who are and might be interested in joining then that would be great!

technoLanguages has a few groups around the place - blog, here on diigo, flicr etc and so I thought a ning was one way to put it all in one place. It's a network for languages educators who are interested in conversations about language learning and teaching, technology and 21st century education. I'm guessing that most of you know what nings are and how they work, but if you aren't sure - it's like Facebook or MySpace. You have a profile page and you add friends within the network, you can leave comments on people's pages and start discussion and special interest groups on whatever you like, as well as sharing photos and videos. I hope you'll join me at: http://technolanguages.ning.com but if you are just thinking 'my god, not another ning network!' then I totally understand! :-)

(Of course technooLanguages bookmarks will continue to be saved here).

Hope to see you there,
Jess.

Here is a link to some video sites that Joe Dale just found and sent to me. Also, a Chinese Language podcast. You could try Chinesepod.com which has some great beginners lessons on all sorts of things (not quite as ridiculous as my little video!)
Good luck with your Taster Day. If you have time, I'd love to hear what the kids thought of the video, but also what they thought of trying out some Chinese.
