Google Thing #6 Video/Images

I found that it is very convenient to link video clips from youtube to my google site. Most of the video clips are “filtered” by myself. When students finished their computer lab assignments, they are allowed to watch any video clips on my google site which are all related to Chinese language and culture. So far I have the following catergories such as Chinese music and songs, Chinese dining ettiquttes, Traveling in China, Art and Literature in Chinese culture, Chinese martial arts, etc. I also posted the important class photos such as Chinese New Year events and activities on my google site. To my surprise, I found out that my students often visit my google site and talk about our class photos or get more knowledge about Chinese culture beyond the textbook told them. I have put working on google site over the summer as one of my professional development plan.
