Experiencing Stories-- Children and Teachers--

Google 

**I thought I'd put these ideas down here to send to the Moodle Lang Teaching Forum on Stories and Storytelling: I put it on a separate webpage hoping to develop it further. This has a Caribbean slant but it is useful for teachers anywhere.

*Useful library list:   Annette Wallace (NALIS, Gov't tt) :http://www.nalis.gov.tt/Education/BIBLIOGR.htm

                                                                                                                                      ICT    APPLICATIONS--

*PS I am no expert here and will study various examples cited in the earlier forum discussions:

*Some kind of interactive audio/conferencing  so that even children can use and  contact one another

  *plenty of graphics/clipboard

   *Whiteboard

   *journals for writing with the teachers' assistance e.g. for Lang Experience and Retelling

 *Teachers' collaboration

 *LINKS TO LIBRARIES AND BOOKS WITH AUDIO AND TEXT --see icdl link above

* Easy Quizzes to suit the age of the children

*Music
