    This Web site by the Irish polyglot who gave a TED talk about speaking from day one is billed as foreign language and travel hacks. Any brief perusal of social media sites like Pinterest or Tumblr will show that hacks are a popular topic -- life hacks, cleaning hacks, Disney hacks, etc.

    Very interesting postings, many of them with appealing pictures or other visuals. The topics seem to span a broad area within the area of learning with technology. This is Garett, by the way.

    Hi Garrett, I was following his blog, too: Niks' Learning Technology Blog (via Feedly). He reviews and demos a lot of great tools. One thing I had a problem with is that nothing seems to be dated. One of is blogs had a bunch of great tools on it and I found links that were useful. Then, other links in the same blog were broken or, even for me, seemed way out of date (hasn't everyone already heard of Firefox?).

  • Because eduCanon uses HTML5, rather than Flash, playback works great on an iPad, too.

      This could be an advantage for Apple devices. Flash has occasional issues with Apple products.

      That's good to know. My students have a mixed bag of devices, and several have Ipads.
  • The first time students watch a video, they are unable to skip through the video; they have to watch the whole thing from start to finish and attempt every question.

      Love this feature. Like with reading, middle schoolers pick through material to find the answers. We can't glue them to their seats, but they never know where those questions will pop up and they can't look ahead to see what answers they need to find. Love that!
  • You paste in the URL of the video, then watch it play

      According to another blog I was reading regarding licensing and sharing, if the "embed" function is operable the owner has endorsed (consciously or thru oversight?) sharing.

      Good to know to allay students' fears. Will they even think that their answers would be made public-probably not most MS students.
  • You can assign a video to the class, and then eduCanon collects data for you on your class’ completion of the task and their responses to your questions.
  • all of those features are 100% free

    I am creating an online course. There are many ways to make that happen, but I think providing a learning platform through online should be my priority and not necessary forcing students to use technology to learn.

  • Literally translated, the word Affenhitze means "monkey-heat" (or "ape-heat"), but it has little to do with monkeys

  • Gestern war eine Affenhitze ("Yesterday was a scorcher
  • likely came into common use more than 100 years ago. Back then, the ape enclosure at the Berlin Zoo was unbearably hot, and people spoke of a Hitze wie im Affenstall ("heat like that in the ape enclosure"). Over time, this simply evolved into Affenhitze.

      I think this is a great way to bring popular culture into the classroom.  TV shows provide a more authentic representation of language than educational videos.

      I found that it is so critical to learn the language through the discovery of culture.  It is when you understand the culture you learn to view things in different perspective and open your mind to the language.

      I love this website, love the way to learn the language through the culture and your interest. Thank you so much for introduced this to us.
  • Another great resource for learners of any level are Chinese blogs.  They cover living, working and travelling in China, Chinese life and culture, and of course the Chinese language itself.
