How to use blogs effectively to teach Mandarin Chinese
Learning Mandarin as a foreign language is not an easy task because there are so many alien elements to the language. Here we will put forth a teaching alternative to help students to overcome their fear and make the learning process easier. Teaching with a blog is like putting all the pieces of the jigsaw together for our students. Furthermore, the blog empowers students to share the teaching and learning experience. They will take on the ownership of the blog and make the learning become a very personal experience. We will demonstrate some of our teaching and share our experience. Specifically, we will look at how the blog can enhance all four skills effectively. We will also discuss how we can achieve this under the pressure of teaching commitments. Finally, we will examine how teaching with a blog lends itself well to the future of flip learning and online schooling.

Editor's Notes
- 準備用於附錄的投影片， 以防需要更多詳細資料或補充投影片。稍後發佈簡報時，附錄也很有用。
- Building up studnts knowledge of the character system- building intellectual curiosity. Can post regular quizzes like this on the blog using google docs. This way students have a bank of quizzes that they can go back and redo if they want to throughout their study. It makes things less messy if they are all on the blog and it means that kids still have acces to them despite changing books etc. Also it enables kids to teach their parents the system of characters and let their parents have a try.
