Thanks for sharing this incredible resource!

Many of the things they did would apply to building a quality online course as well as a whole program.

I like that these are just a couple of minutes long - they are great input for a brief authentic listening practice

This is an annotation of a reading activity/ practice, from a guest blogger, Mónica Romero, to Grant Boulanger's Exploring the convergence of Language Acquisition and Arts. Like his CI suggestions and Freebies

Ooh, the internet tells me it's Free Voluntary Reading. This is an interesting article. I'm not sure it would be directly applicable to any of the classes I teach right now, but it's good food for thought.

The development of distance learning courses for less commonly taught languages (LCTLs) often meets with instructional challenges, especially for Asian LCTLs with their distinct non-Roman characters and structures. This study documents the implementation of a fully online, elementary Japanese course.

This is a great resource--I'm looking in to the Global Education Certificate written up on the blog, it sounds like something my students would be really interested in pursuing.

This is "a how to" resource to help you prepare Presentational Tasks.

Thanks for sharing this about Mondly. I've been looking into different augmented reality, and I'm glad that you shared this one.

I found that Canva is a great tool to create a infographic. It sometimes took hours to find the infographic I wanted online, but now I can create the one in a way I want. I just tried to make one in Japanese:) . I would like to see other ways to use this tool.

I really enjoyed using Canva in my project this week. It's really nice and easy to use (and I like the app for my phone). I can imagine using the poster project and the student profile project in my classroom.

This is a really good suggestion Vivian! It is always nice to have plan B especially when using technology!

The author says that CMC helps in all of these areas, but doesn't provide any information about his sources. I think this shows the value of including links to other websites in blog posts about education!

Helpful source for creative ideas to enliven the classroom.

The blog consists of three parts: Blog, Teaching Toolbox, and Workshops. We can read about issues, tips, comments that are pertinent to language instruction. Teachertoolbox provides new resources and activity ideas. We can find where and what kind of PDs are available in Workshops. The world language consultants, Kara Parker and Megan Smith are the authors of this bog. They understand the challenges language teachers are facing and believe it is very important to provide and share resources and support each other to stay being an effective language teacher.

I love this! We can learn while enjoying reading. Thank you very much for finding and sharing it with us.
