Kellett Secondary: What's an Ipod Touch doing in the Chinese class?

Y7 and Y8 students had their experience with using Ipod Touch to

1. write Chinese characters with correct stroke orders

2. learn 40 most frequently used Chinese radicals (character root)

3. make use of new and commonly used technology to enhance learning experience

Students used the English to Chinese dictionary application called KTdict C-E from Apple Apps Store. They wrote Chinese characters on the screen and allow the Ipod Touch to recognise their handwriting.

With the English to Chinese dictionary App, students could easily search using Chinese characters, the search results include Chinese Pinyin with tone marks, both simplified and traditional characters and the English meanings.
