Differentiated Instruction in the Foreign language classroom

Now that more and more classrooms are publishing student work for digital storytelling, podcasting, or through wikis and blogs it is becoming increasingly critical students follow the copyright and fair use guidelines. To help you and your students, I've created another freebie post - free images and sounds for student projects. Yes, there are multiple websites out there for public domain images and sounds, but I tried to pull those that are safe for student searching. You will find glorious photo landscapes, character illustrations of fairy tale characters, tornado sound effects, and more.

list of resources, ideas, hints, tips, and tricks on how to positively affect your classroom with the use of Twitter.

These reproducible items for school and classroom use are to be used in conjunction with Teaching Reading Comprehension.

Using Alternate Reality Games could be a great tool for the Foreign Language Classrooms.
