PowToon, free software animated video maker and PowerPoint alternative - 1 views

  •  
    A free online tool that students can use to create animated voice presentations for the classroom.

    I will have to implement this tool next time when I create comic strips. What a neat idea, interactive, fun and free.
  •  
    I like this tool, I have seen teachers in my school use a program similar to this one, but for some reason I can't remember the program. These can be fun for the students to use because it is something different than the normal PowerPoint that they complete for assignments.

    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.

Home | JOG THE WEB - 2 views

  •  
    Is a website which allows you to create a internet scavenger hunt with the advantage of being about to guide the students from website to website. The teacher can annotade each website and students. A great tool especially for younger students. It is free to use. A tutorial is available
  •  
    I just checked it out and see that it can be a great tool. I really like that you can annotate and direct students' attention on each step of the "web jog". I could see gathering specific sites for students to explore and then have them create something new (Glog, Voicethread, Powtoon) with what they learned. Thanks for the find!

    Thanks for sharing this Nick. I'm really considering how to implement online portfolios in my classroom next year and this looks like a wonderful site!
  •  
    I like this as well. I was exploring this site for a while and could not find a lot of information before signing up.
  •  
    Nick, seems like a great tool that teachers could utilize easily. I tried to explore a bit to find information about cost and storage etc. and could not find anything. Do you know more about this?
  •  
    Thank you for sharing. Portfolios have always been a great asset for our classes but online are getting even more relevance now as most departments are making them a priority for many languages and disciplines
  •  
    Sabine, With regards to cost, it is free. I am unsure about how much storage that they give you to use on the site. That was something that was not talked about at the conference where I discovered the tool.
  •  
    Can you upload video and/or recordings?

Lingro - The coolest dictionary known to hombre - 0 views

  •  
    Lingro is an online dictionary tool that allows users to link any URL address or uploaded document and have all words be linked to the available dictionaries in 11 languages. Once the URL address or document is linked to the Lingro dictionaries every word becomes "clickable" and linked to the program's dictionary to view either a definition in English or a translation in the other languages. This site can be used by World Language teachers and students in a variety of ways to encourage reading comprehension in L2. For teachers use, Lingro can be used for created guided practice activities with L2 readings, such as in an online newspaper or uploaded document. The teacher guides students through the target vocabulary to be learned and promote the discussion of its context use and correct translation. For student use, vocabulary lists can be created with the click of a button which can later be reviewed as flashcards or word lists with examples of use in contextual sentences. This tool aids learners with a quick reference for the meaning of words without having to interrupt a lesson or reading exercise for lengthy amounts of time.
