Students have the opportunity to earn 20 service-learning hours. To prepare for the project, do the following activities:

• read homepage of www.LearningChamorro.com and sign-up as learner with the website

Students will be given written instructions on how to start and complete their online service-learning project, complemented with an optional personal orientation.  

Students are to use their own electronic devices and access the internet at their own expenses. 

• Explore dashboard of website and fill out feedback form
• Select lesson of your choice, complete lesson, take the lesson-test online; and fill out feedback form (more than one lesson can be taken)
• Explore and use the online dictionary, and fill out feed-back form
• Select dialogue of your choice, explore and study dialogue; and fill out feedback form (more than one dialogue can be taken)

• Maintain a learning log during the project
• Email all your feedback forms to LearningChamorro.com
• You must take part in a personal interview about your learning Chamorro experience (this may be done via phone) or participate in a group interview with other students. 

In order to earn service learning hours, a reflection needs to be turned in to a teacher who can input the hours into Power School. You need to address: What did you do? What did you learn? How was this an example of public service?
