This is a good website if I have a student who is having trouble with pronunciation or even with grammar. There are pronunciation guides with sound and grammar exercises for people who need some extra practice.

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.

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.

here is a good website to build ideas for activities in the classroom

This is a cool site because it is kind of a portal to many other unique language sites, providing sources and ideas for classroom settings.

This is a site only for creating diagrams. It's another way of helping you organize your ideas. This could be used by a teacher who needs help in designing a lesson plan, or it could be used in the actual lesson plan to help students understand certain, confusing concepts.

This is an interesting site that allows users to create their own stories, using different images and info from the web. A teacher could use this to create a video or story relevant to the topic being studied in the classroom. That way, the teacher would visually engage the students and know that they can relate to the characters or stories that he/she created, allowing for a more exciting and fun classroom environment.

This is actually an interesting way to share info found on the web. You can highlight the pieces of a page you want others to see instead of sharing the whole page. Just something similar to diigo or delicious, but you share just parts of a page instead of a whole.

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.

This is a website made by fellow teachers that has ideas for all kinds of things. (For things to do on the first day of school, for things to do on holidays, for service learning so on) The things I like about it is that it comes from people that already used these ideas in the classroom and tell how it worked. It's a good way for fellow educators to help each other and to be inspired by one another.

This website is basically a website full of different game ideas, mostly for the elementary to middle grades. It's a great place to either find games to interact into a lesson or into the classroom, or a place to get inspired to think up some games of ones own to be utilized in the classroom setting.

Flickr is really a site of photography, and not only that, but professionaly photography. A teacher could use this site for presentations as the pictures found in the site touch on practically every subject imaginable, but also impact the viewer because of the power behind the photographs. It would be great to utilize in powerpoint and it's better than googlepics because you know that the quality will be great and that you'll find exactly what you need.

brainhoney is another onlince community specifically for teachers and their students and the parents of their students. It's a way for everyone to communicate and a wa for teachers to organize things, get tips and so on.

This website offers some fun acitivies and visual aids to include in the lesson for a german class. I could either use things from the website or build ideas of my own by just taking a look.

This is a website for teachers of many different kinds of foreign language education. It proveds tips, lesson plans, classroom activity ideas and so on.

The pbs site has a lot of good tips for teachers for a classroom in the k-12 setting. It has a lot of good ideas for activities in the classroom for every subject. As a foreign lanuage teacher, I found some good things under the reading and language arts tabs.

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.

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. They have a lot of great opportunities for both teachers and students and lots of great advice for lessons/ the classroom, etc.
