I follow this blog because I am always looking for new technology to excite my students but that is affordable.

This is a blog that various people contribute to with reviews and instructions for a variety of tech apps and websites - that can be used for a variety of purposes, from video annotation to labeling photos and many more. Thanks to the people at CeLTA for posting these! (add to your Feedly to keep up with new posts!)

This blog has some great free resources for listening practice with beginning level Spanish learners.

Free Spanish listening resources

Very interesting activity. I also see that you posted it trough Feedly :-) I was thinking on how to do it :-)

All lot of great ideas - and a couple of blog mentions that would be good to add to your Feedly!

I am following the Ditch your Textbook because textbooks are becoming obsolete and are terrible expensive.

This blog is good because there are a lot of videos and iconographic projects.

Brief overview of good ed tech blogs.

Thank you for this list. I just started following a couple of these through Feedly, glad to see that they are in the "top ten" :)

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 Then, other links in the same blog were broken or, even for me, seemed way out of date (hasn't everyone already heard of Firefox?).

One of my friends started up one of these Scoop.it "newsletters" and I get messages weekly from it - automated. I wonder if she even knows it's still running...?

I found this site on Feedly and started following it; this guy travels around the world learning foreign languages; this article in particular discusses how to learn minority and endangered languages, however I find the innovation and his motivation to be the greatest factors in his success. He's not following someone else's path and as the actual process of learning a FL is such a personal thing, I think he's really on to something! From the site: "There are almost too many sites and resources for big languages like French, Spanish and German. When you're learning a language like these, the problem is usually deciding which resource to use rather than not being able to find one. But what about those of us who want to learn a less popular language (minority or endangered)?"

Fun language materials for beginning or end of class or "breather."

All about hashtags and using them. Popular education hashtags. Using TweetDeck

I've shared some of the apps from Niks blog already, there are some really great student and teacher tools for the language classroom and beyond. Short, easy to follow videos explaining each app are really useful. Watch out, though, found just a few links that are broken. Not all apps are free.

I originally signed on to this blog (and downloaded the e-book) because I was so interested in teaching with technology. But Matt is a foreign-language teacher, and I'm really intrigued by the way he organizes his curriculum around Performance-Based Learning and questioning.

" I realized that to effectively engage in professional learning, I needed tools in place to curate content, save what I found, and connect to other educators."

Focuses on a variety of issues related to teaching in higher education, including technology.
