I am following this blog because if offers some great ideas on becoming fluent in the target language.

Using snapchat for language learning and other interesting stuff.

This is great, thank you so much!

A language class could benefit so much from being able to virtually travel to the location that is being studied! Take a look at these virtual reality tools!

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

A great tool for downloading youtube and other videos that you want to use from year to year, or if you don't want to stream a video during class. Just paste the youtube link into the box, and choose your file format such as .mp4.

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" :)

Shared by Jesse! Such a good list.

Wow, what a great list! Formative assessment is such an important part of ensuring that learning objectives are being met, and these are some wonderful ideas to ensure that this won't get stale in my classroom.

Thanks for sharing Alyssa! There are lots of tips here that would have been very helpful for my co-taught Intermediate Algebra class last year that I can implement in my teachings next year :)

Portfolios are a great way to document and display student growth.

Thanks Jesse! I'm always looking for different ways to do portfolio-based writing, so these seem super helpful. I use Evernote already and hadn't thought to use it for portfolios. Thanks again.

Thanks Jesse! I can certainly use this.

I follow her because she gives practical ways to use common technology in class and conference settings.

Thanks for posting this! These seem like fun ways to meet learning targets with any type of video.

These are useful. Will try some ideas in my class in fall!

This is a YouTube video that introduces how to use Google Classroom. I sometimes like to watch video tutorials about how to use new technology because they give me a better idea about how the platform, website, tool will function for students. If you're looking for new material on YouTube, you can follow certain people's/organizations "channels," you can create public or private "playlists" of videos to save for yourself, or you can search for existing "playlists" that others have created.

Ideas for the language class

Lucy Norris and Professor Agnes Kukulska-Hulme explain how teachers can help language students get on top of their own learning by using mobile phones.

This is something that has frustrated me - I'm glad they updated copying to make things easier!

This is a timely article considering the topic of social media we're talking about this week!
