How many of the movies in this list have you shared with a class? I haven't seen all of them yet, but it seems to be a pretty good list (geared toward high school classes) of movies worth watching with your classes...

Some high schools in Denmark are beginning to allow students access to the internet during exams. Exciting stuff, and fantastic to see countries looking into more open forms of assessment. I will be interested to see how quickly other nations follow Denmark's lead in this regard. Tools like Diigo would be a fantastic method of preparation for student's sitting these exams.

A cool idea for creating virtual flowers. The Black Eyed Peas have created/endorsed a site called Planting My Ideas. You can use music, images, and words to create your own flower, which is then be posted in the site's gallery. You can also post the link on a student or teacher's website/blog, and have students write about it as a language development activity.
