2 Presentation Overview Video introduction

3 Presentation Overview Distance Learning Learning Objects Standards

4 ROCK #1: Standards

5 ROCK #1: Standards (Issues) 44% new K-12 are not familiar w/ standards 63% University mentors of new K-12 teachers are not trained on the standards K-12 teachers are more educated in the standards than instructors at the university level

6 ROCK #1: Standards (Issues) Think about the following questions: ~ What do you know about the Standards? ~ How do the standards affect your life as a FL teacher? ~ What did the standards change in language teaching? ~ What impact did they have on K-12 and college levels?

7 ROCK #1: Standards American FL Standards American Russian TORFL FOUNDATION

10 ROCK #2: Learning Objects What Are Learning Objects? LO is an independent, self-standing unit of learning that is reusable in multiple contexts context types

11 ROCK #2: Learning Objects Issues - No unified definition - Incorporation of both sets of Standards - Incorporation of the insights from DL

12 ROCK #2: Learning Objects LO Development Process: Stage 1: Analysis & Design= Pre-development Stage 2: Development Stage 3: Evaluation * implementation
