Definitely a cool tool to use while watching all the videos in this certificate program!     VideoNotes is a neat new tool for taking notes while watching videos. VideoNotes allows you to load any YouTube video on the left side of your screen and on the right side of the screen VideoNotes gives you a notepad to type on. VideoNotes integrates with your Google Drive account. By integrating with Google Drive VideoNotes allows you to share your notes and collaborate on your notes just as you can do with a Google Document.

These are great tools to edit and create videos. A great way for students to make professional videos

Hello Lori, How are these better from movie maker?

The easy way to create and share extraordinary videos of your life. Our online video maker turns your photos, video clips and music into video in minutes. I can envision using Animoto in an Intermediate Spanish course and having students document - in audio and video - part of their day, be it what they ate for dinner in campus dining hall or a trip to a local museum, etc.

Video email; records an audio and video presentation. Free.

Transform any YouTube video into a lesson worth sharing. Search YouTube below to select a video, add your own supplementary materials and share your lesson with your students.

Communicate with students who are learning another language.

What a neat idea! I watched the video where the Japanese family showed their home. What a great glimpse into the life of another culture. I wonder if there's a site for French/Spanish videos...or perhaps I could host one! Thanks for sharing!!

Great video resources for all learners with multiple languages and varying topics and proficiency levels. The video library includes and introduction and illustration of standards and the 5 C's, models that cover the interpretive, interpersonal and presentational modes of communication and assessment stragegies

Make a Video. Amazing Animated Video Maker.

Just saw this in the other class; looks great for engaging students

I found this site because I love using Animoto, but am frustrated that the video clip is so short. From the site "When you use Animoto, you know video clips must be 10 seconds or less. But have no fear, I can show you how to get more video clip time! I work on Animoto's customer service team and I know some of you are looking for the secret to adding longer clips."

HistoryPin is a free Web 2.0 tool that allows users to "pin" photos, audio, or video to a particular world map location, much like the Google Earth program. The main idea is that, with enough participation, users will be able to get a sense of the history a location - both the visual and narrative aspects of it - as photos or videos from various time periods are pinned to that location. I can envision my students using it in partnership with another class of L1 students to share the concept of how people and places can change. For instance, both groups might focus on how a major city in their own country has changed, in order to demonstrate that to the other class via HistoryPin. Students would collect and upload photos or videos that show how the respective cities grew, how building or even fashion styles changed. They would use the HistoryPin audio option to describe the changes, my L2 students in Spanish, the L1 students in English. Once the L2 learners had "pinned" their photos on the map, L1 students could review and e-mail corrections so that L2 students could return to HistoryPin and edit their contribution. My students would do the same in return in English for the L1 students (assuming they are learning English, possibly). In this way, through collaboration, all students can gain a new perspective on how people and places look and change in another culture, while honing "technical" language skills.

ThingLink is a web tool that allows groups to comment on with text, audio, video, and to share and/or embed them. This resource has multiple applications in the FL classroom, including visual literacy, information literacy, enhancing communication and collaborative skills. One example activity: upload a map and have students describe various locations on map orally, in video, or text, and then have them comment on/expand upon each others' posts.

This interactive website is a great classroom tool for authentic, age appropriate readings. It is set up like an average news website, which offers students information on a broad range of topics. In addition, there is a teaching corner that offers free resources and topics for debate!

Create a free account on this French language website so you have access to all the great videos, articles and "dossiers".  For example, there's a one minute animated video that explains why we have the 1 hour time change this weekend.  Great for high school level French students.

This is the most awesome tool!  It allows you to take notes while watching a video AND It syncs to your Google drive.   VERY useful for all those videos we have to watch. 

Watch YouTube videos without comments, suggestions, or the 'other' things.

This video introduces apps that help people communicate with others and learn language through pictures.

This is an awesome YouTube channel by Sylvia Duckworth. I would use her Chansons au Powerpoint to pre-teach vocabulary and then reinforce the learning with the music/PowerPoint combination.  Other videos offer a plethora of topics that can be used in your classroom.  Her use of GoAnimate inspires me to have my students create similar projects to tell stories.   Although in French, the ideas are easily used in Spanish and other WL classrooms. 

The site offers step-by step video courses and training exercises on different technology skills that will help you build a web site, start a blog, and more.  I would use this for the 605 and 610 course.  

Video that could be used with teachers to trigger discussion about technology

Cindy, can I share it with the class that I will be teaching? I would give credit to your class. Maria

Maria, Of course, all our resources are to share! Creating a network to share is the idea!

 a really good review of the French vs. English numbers, especially how to count at 70 and above.  A look at transcribing telephone numbers and the comma vs decimal point.
