Paper.li provides a forum for students to find TL newspaper articles and publish an online class newspaper. This could be used with upper-level students to expose them to news and authentic language materials, and allow them to create based on their interests.
A free tool that lets you embed an audio message into your website - an appropriate tool for the 610 course! You can record a message by phone or mic, use the text-to-speech feature, or upload your own mp3 audio files. You can even choose from 25 languages and 100+ voices. Very cool indeed.
Students are encouraged to write their own lyrics to songs of their choice, translate them into the target language, record them (audio or video), and share with the world. This is an excellent way of incorporating 21st century skills, ISTEs, ACTFL standards, and more. This could require collabortion, too. This project is 'owned' by the students - teachers just guide the process. Many examples and support available.
A young second grader uses evernote to record herself reading aloud and reflects on her progress and sets goals for improvement. Something we could use in the WL classroom - students can use the app on their phones as well.
An interesting blog by a teacher of languages and technology. Three entries, "improving pronunciation using Speech-to-Text Apps", "Using Thinglink to prepare for the AP cultural comparison", and "using google drawing in language classes" have direct correlations to what we do and can use in our classrooms. Google draw (found in Chrome's Google Drive) would be particularly helpful to practice writing Arabic or Chinese.
This is an excellent resource for finding target language newspapers from around the world. I would give my students a country and a topic and have them research that topic (ie, the environment). Or, we could focus on a global topic and compare/contrast how it is being presented in different target-language speaking countries (ie. North Korea crisis)
