As an educator, do you ever find
yourself feeling like the dad in Zits? Perhaps a
"digital immigrant" in a technology obsessed nation? If so, then this website is
for you! Choose one of the links below to get started learning the language of
the digital natives (or perhaps I should say, "digital intuitives"-a term coined
by Ben and Jared from EdTech Innovators-students have the
intuitiveness to use technology but do they know how to use it appropriately to
learn, to solve problems, to access information, and to
create?).
Ryan Corcoran on 16 Jun 11This is a great website for language classes. It features real people (preferably native speakers) pronouncing words in many different languages. Want to hear how a native French speaker says "Foie Gras"? Look no further! No definitions are included (even a link to one would be better than nothing...). Japanese words are in Kanji and/or Katakana/Hiragana, tough for beginning Japanese students who rely on Romaji to find words. Pronunciations are voted on by users, and you can see the speaker's location on a map (helpful for regional dialects).
