The third annual Missouri Modern Languages and Modern Technologies (Mo3) conference was held on June 5-6. This conference was an opportunity for Missouri foreign language teachers from around the state of Missouri and from K-12 to Four-year universities to get together and learn more about integrating technology into ...their language courses in pedagogically-sound ways.
The conference included a hands-on workshop for online teaching resources conducted the University of Missouri Spanish 1100 and 1200 Spanish coordinators, Linda Keown and Dawn Heston. And the welcome address was given by the chair of Romance Languages and Literatures, Flore Zephir.
The keynote address, “Coast to Coast Modern Greek Blog: Sharing and Learning”, which outlined a joint blogging project between Harvard University (Vassiliki Rapti) and Stanford University (Eva Prionas) was presented virtually, with each presenter joining the conference from her own university via video conferencing technology.
Sessions were offered on the use of wikis, interactive white boards and “clickers” in language classrooms. There were also presentations about student-produced media projects, student-created surveys in the target language, file sharing and using travel websites and foreign films effectively.
During the lunch hour, attendees were treated to a presentation by the University of Missouri at St. Louis language faculty about the process of redesigning their language curriculum to be more aligned with the American Council on the Teaching Foreign Languages (ACTFL) and to increase the oral and written proficiency of students. Following the presentation was excellent round-table discussion that focused on articulation between high school and college language courses.
More than 70 foreign language teachers from 45 Missouri high schools, colleges and universities attended.
The Mo3 conference was started in 2007 on the University of Missouri campus in Columbia. In 2008, the conference was held on the St. Louis campus and will be hosted on the Rolla campus in 2010.
