 * 1) The Curricular that I will use the web 2.0 tools for will be to teach and assess the Spanish language. I teach Spanish 1A and Spanish 1B. Within each term, students learn three units. The first unit is basic Spanish vocabulary like greetings, colors, numbers, days, months, ABC's. The second unit focuses on gender agreement, how to make words plural, vocabulary to describe someone's physical descriptions and their characteristics. The third unit has to deal with changing -AR, -ER and -IR verbs and what they like to do. The next unit has to deal with places and where they like to go. The seventh unit is about food and stem-changing verbs. The last unit, unit eight is about clothes and what they like to wear.

3.How you would use them. I will use youtube in order to create instructional videos for my students. I have a lot of students who miss class a lot due to various reasons. This would be a good tool to use when they are absent or in order to review a concept that they may have forgotten how to do. I will use the wikispace in order to upload information that students can easily access. I will use Quia in order for students to review and practice materials that we have already covered within the class. I will use celly a texting service in order to send reminders to students about upcoming exams, standards and projects. Students will also be able to contact me through this service.
