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.

Teacher in Atlanta fired over Facebook page

Is "friending" students inappropriate?

In my opinion, I think that it is inappropriate for teachers to "friend" their students. Inappropriate seems a little harsh to say but I do think that its better safe than sorry. Maybe once the student has moved on to high school and college it is okay to accept a friend request from them but even still whatever you post on the internet, you do it at your own risk.

I agree with Ashley, only I still think that even in high school I feel that teachers and students should not interact with one another unless it is school related. It seems that more often today teachers are getting fired or in major trouble by having some sort of relationships with there students. I know it doesnt just happen because they might be friends with them on facebook or something like that, but like Ashley said, "its better safe than sorry" and just stay away from temptations.

Great on line dictionary! Any language possible! Translations, verb conjugator and much more! One of my Spanish professors in my first semester here at UNCC told me about it! Can't live without it!
