Welcome+to+BYU+StarTalk+2009

media type="custom" key="4118491"Greetings BYU StarTalk Students. Welcome to BYU Chinese StarTalk 2009. This will be the best StarTalk ever.

We're setting up wiki pages for each level of instruction so there will be a spot for each of you. We invite you to begin by going to [].

When you get there, design an avatar that reflects your interests or personality and record a short introduction then post it to your level's wiki.Level 1 students may record their greeting in English. All others should use Chinese. Give your name, where you're from, something about your family, or hobbies, anything you like. You can record your introduction as many times as you like until it sounds just the way you want it to.

After you have created your avatar, given it a voice, and saved it, clip publish then the tab "add to your site" Next, copy the long http address in the text field labeled "For most sites use this code." Now open this wiki in another window. Click on the "edit page tab." Select the icon that looks like a t.v. Then select "video." Paste the address you copied earlier into the box and save. Your avatar will introduce you to the rest of the class.

There are students from 20 states as well as Mexico at this year's BYU Chinese StarTalk. Here is a link to a site that allows you to see and hear the Chinese translations for state names. []
