[Kindersite Newsletter] Kindersite newsletter Spring-Summer 09

r.e. New language project

Dear Friends
Thank you for your feedback on the new section I introduced in the last newsletter, "Educational Games" for slightly older children. I have received many comments, thank you for your kindness, but I would like to hear more, especially about how you are using the content in education.
While I am on the subject of the educational games, I have also added more content in this section and yet more will be added soon. 

Language Video Project
As you know I am very involved in Early language learning and bilingualism. I have now added a 'New language project' to the Kindersite that I hope you will find interesting and wish to get involved in with your children.
My daughters and friends wrote, directed and acted in their own English video that we have now put on YouTube and the Kindersite. I am now offering teachers and parents the opportunity to translate the text of the video, record their own children or young students acting by reading the text. The audio files can then be sent to me and I will produce language versions of the video that will be placed on the Kindersite, YouTube and other websites.
As an educational activity it will act to introduce foreign languages, contribute to involvement in ICT/Technology, allow restricted creativity (as voice actors) and involve children in an international project.
I have produced a translation template and guide to help you. The original video and template can be seen on the Kindersite at: http://www.kindersite.org/Videos.htm
If this project goes well, then I will open the project up to videos produced by your children. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me.

Best wishes

Joel
