This website allows the user to create their own comics. I think it would be really fun and definitely different to incorporate this tool into the classroom, perhaps by creating a comic in German and having students discuss it, or I can ask them questions about it. Or, they can create their own comic to show what they have learned. It's fun, creative and different.

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.
This is THE group to join for teachers or future teachers of German in America. I am planning on joing this organization as soon as possible and have been researching it for a while now.
