1. Facilitate and Inspire Students Learning and Creativity
- Encourage students to use communication and collaborative tools to engage in language learning. One such tool is skype, which can be used in video communication and video conferencing to open up to the world outside the USA and exchange ideas and experiences with learners elsewhere (France, Quebec (Canada) and fracophone countries around the wolrd). - Use the wide range of technology devices available: MP3s, multifunction phones (iPhones), eReaders, Ipods, Ipads, Podcasting, etc.

2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
- Design teaching strategies incorporating use of technology: blackboard, PowerSchool, Smartboard, to enhance learning. - Use of simulations, and virtualizations to give students the opportunity to experience real life situations and be able to assess language learning effectiveness. - Use of selective websites to create a learning environment to experience contact with the French language and culture, in particular and the francophone world in general.

3. Model Digital-Age Work and Learning
- Include use of relevant websites in teacher planning and effective teaching techniques to bring excitment and fun of learning into learning environment. - Combine instructional strategies and learning activities to create participation and enthusiasm in a positive classroom environment. - Give examples of real life experiences, using available selective Youtube teaching and learning videos.

4. Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility
- Emphasize responsible use of technology tools and acceptable ethical behaviors in the digital world. - Monitor web explorations by setting filters and permissions in learning environment to avoid temptations leading to adverse and unwanted outcomes. - Promote learning environment with emphasis on following rules and instructions. Acceptance and respect of the other are important to creating a positive learning environment, where technology use is encouraged to enhance learning. - Reinforcement of good practices and digital world etiquettes.
