Week 8 Thing 20

Week Nine, Thing 23

It's finished !  Finally !  This project was well worth the effort.  I really enjoyed learning to do technical things that ordinarily I would run to our tech support people to do for me.  I hope that we can continue this learning program.

Week Nine, Thing 22

I love books, and seeing so many electronic or free books is super!  I was a bit disappointed by Project Gutenberg -- I knew of it before and never used it.  It seems a bit complicated, and it is not free.  I did, however, sign on to "Bookins," which is a free book source -- I can trade my old books for those I haven't read.  Great Scot, that's really cool!

Week 8 Thing 21

Voilà!  Eureka!  Two French podcasts !  My students are going to love this!  I really have enjoyed this part of  learning how to add podcasts to my blog although it has not been so easy....Hooray!

Week 7, Thing 21 - Podcasts !

Yikes! I deleted my podcasts! Hope I can get them back!!!

Week 7 Thing 22

Ebooks are good if people like to spend hours at the computer trying to read them. If one tries to download the books and print them, what a waste of paper! Of course, Kindle has taken care of that sort of waste if one can afford $200 or so to purchase the Kindle. I do not use ebooks personally or in class, but they are o.k. Audiobooksm on the other hand, are terrific, especially while on a long trip. How I wish my students would listen to audiobooks in French!!

Week 7, Thing 20: Let's Get Serious: Albert Camus' "TheStranger"

This is for my Honors French IV class. Although the professor speaks about existentialism in English, it is the only way for a high school class to understand the complexity of this modern philosophy. By the way, there is debate about whether Camus was really an existentialist. He did not think so toward the end of his life. My Honors French IV class will study these four videos. I am embedding #1 now.
