This document discusses how to incorporate technology and 21st century skills like critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity into world language classrooms. It provides examples of using tools like Voicethread, Voki, Storybird, Mixbook, Wallwisher, GoAnimate/Toondoo, LangMedia and AudioLingua to revamp traditional projects for the four language standards: interpretive listening, presentational speaking, presentational writing, and culture. The document encourages teachers to start with classics they love and redesign them into new, exciting projects using web 2.0 tools to better prepare students for the future.
