This is a great source for teachers. I have seen this used in Social Studies classrooms. It is a great way for teachers to integrate social studies with language arts and technology. This source allows you and students to create comic strips which can be compiled and printed into a comic book. Students can individually create a comic strop which portrays what they have learned about particular cultures during their studies in class.

Have your students create comic strips in the target language!

A site that contains everything English Language teachers will need.

This is a neat website because it is a radio station in Zurich, Switzerland. Looking and listening to the things the website has to offer would be a cool way to allow kids to explore the culture and very unique accent of the swiss people. It's also good language and understanding practice of course.

this is the cultural portal for germany and america. It's a good site to get kids interested in the language and to show them opportunities to study abroad.

This is a cool website for language learners and teachers. It gives teachers good ideas about how to design lesson plans and is a good review for students.

The great thing about this online dictionary is that it has an amazing amount of information. Most the newest slang terms in German can be translated using this dictionary. Another thing is that it specializes in German to English or English to German translations instead of mixing other languages in it. It also only translates basically word for word, so students can't try to cheat and get their grammer fixed on it. They still have to rely on their own skills. Useful if I want to students to read a modern German novel and they can't find a lot of words in their every day dictionaries.

flash cards for study or create your own flashcards. Share teaching tools from other teachers across the nation. Covers everything from History to Geography, Languages to Business and Medical.

This site is for 6th graders and younger to help with math and language arts skills. The math that is covered is statistics and algebra.

This is one of the biggest and most respected newspapers in Germany and always has the most uptodate information. I could use this as a way to practice reading and have an activity on the side for effective communication. Students would learn new vocab, use the language and catch up on what is important in Germany.

This is a really interesting site that is like traveling all over the world, but staying at home. You can use the internet to learn about destinations, remember goals, play games, write a diary and so on. It seems like a strange site for teachers, but I actually think it would be really cool to use in a history class, a social studies class, or a foreign language class. Its like traveling the world, but staying in the same room. They can learn about the countries we're studying about and write some ideas or questions about it on their blog.

Games, worksheets, interactive and easy. You have to look through to find exactly what you want, but hey nothing wrong with saving some time!

A great resource for teachers of foreign language...workshops, news, resources for teachers. Awesome!

As we get close to become professionals it is always smart to be a member of these types of organizations. Great resource from a trusted source. 

Sometimes students feel embarrassed to talk in Spanish in front of the whole classroom. So, why not create their own avatar to do it! They can choose form a wide variety of graphics. Great tool for foreign language, upload your own voice!

This website is through the Library of Congress. There are resources for teachers. This site is great especially for Language Arts and History teachers.

This is a very well organized site that describes the differences and complexities of the german school system. Students could certainly learn a lot about how things work in Germany, as well as practice their language skills. Could be used as a homework assignment or as a discussion to discover similarities and differences between our two countries.
