This is one of my favorite sites to find out what's new in tech for our use.  The April 11th blog post discusses typing accents in other languages.  It also presents 2 virtual keyboards for WL students. Also presented are links to learning languages, activities, and image-based language lessons.  The Pictolang games could help students study languages on their own. The CAPL galleries could be helpful in locating images to use in developing your own language learning activities. You could also have students use CAPL to create language learning games to use to study

Practice keyboarding online in 16 languages. Free and teacher's can setup a classroom, but I haven't tried. Sixth grader gave site a positive review. Con: advertisements on sides (but interesting viewing how ads change depending on language selection).
