Language Panda began in 2015 when graduate students at the center set out to address an emerging issue in the field of foreign language teaching: As communication has taken an increasingly digital form, there is a growing need for lessons that practice technology-based interactions.<\/p>\n<p>In the spirit of digital humanities and public scholarship, Language Panda provides a forum for sharing how digital pedagogy is being practiced across a variety of campuses and institutions. The webpage currently features projects in Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, and Chinese, and we invite contributions from experienced and novice instructors, K-12 teachers, and higher education professors.<\/p>\n<p>Graduate affiliates at the center moderate and maintain the site, which allows our graduate students to develop WordPress skills, learn about new tools, and share lesson plans that practice key vocabulary and grammar, facilitate cultural competence, and provide digital evidence of student learning.<\/p>\n<p>To browse the project database or to submit your own materials, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.languagepanda.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Language Panda<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The projects on Language Panda are designed according to ACTFL standards.
