Please write your goal and your questions.

My goal is: To find and make available creative and interactive tech activities to support differentiation in the French class.

My questions are: To what extent can inquiry be exploited in a French class? How can ipads be used to support the differentiation process?

Teacher Tube School Tube You Tube Twitter Some other school websites

Websites http://primarymfl.ning.com/- apparently have a few sites and ideas from teachers that could beef up my resources.

A.I am learning that the approach of technology and the extent to which it is used to differentiate instructions depend on the level of the students.There are various available resources online such as Youtube and Teacher tube that prove helpful. I am realizing that when i get these recources, i could bespoke them to fit the level and needs of my students.
 * What am I learning **

B. I am learning the extent to which inquiry can be used to enhance the learning of students in French through differentiation. I found this website http://questgarden.com/author/examplestop.php which focuses on inquiry in what ever field.

How am I synthesizing information and applying it. A. http://www.teachertube.com/members/viewVideo.php?title=French_Movie&video_id=2172 I am presently doing a unit of clothing in French. The link above presents vocabulary for clothing. To aid differentiation, students(with a need to master the gender) could watch and listen to it, and search for the gender of the clothing items so that they could use them in conversations confidently. There is a problem however. in order to tailor it to the needs of my students, i would like to change the background music to french and edit a picture of a lady wearing a bikini! We want to learn to say swim suit in French but it does not take seeing a lady in one to be able to learn the word! Because of this single inappropriate picture, what will i do with this otherwise wonderful document?

B. I hope to use this site http://questgarden.com/author/examplestop.php as a guide and a resource bank to enhance the inquiry process through as well as differentiating the instruction. Below is an example of how i could take off my unit on clothing adapting this inquiry guide to my students' needs. LES VETEMENTS ET LES BOUTIQUES( Clothing and boutiques) Clothing is an important part of French life style. From the Noble kingdoms to the Renaissance, it has impacted the way the society perceives somebody. In the modern age ,many stylists have emerged and reshaped all the configuration of clothes shopping and trade. The content of this lesson aims at providing the cultural exposure of fashion show in a cultural and economic perspectives.

How am i testing my hypothesis? Will apply my learning and findings with my students and fine tune it to their needs and levels as if need be.
