Gulsum mentioned that she is using an interactive timeline (http://www.tiki-toki.com/) as a web-based material to teach tenses. Very nice idea. This is a new timeline I hadn't seen before, which produces a 'mashup' of maps and a time line -- very neat idea. One idea to use with students is to get them to create a short personal history of their family.

Neat site that will create an MP3 from any text you paste into a box.

Once you download the MP3 you can edit it in Audacity or podcast it. Very nice for creating extra listening practice.
