Slideshare on using Edmodo in the classroom

A new application by Google that can be used by teachers and students. Students can create, upload, assemble, and present their work.

This is very similar to the Evernote e-Portfolio at https://www.diigo.com/bookmark/http%3A%2F%2Fblog.evernote.com%2Fblog%2F2012%2F02%2F28%2Fhow-to-create-a-portfolio-with-evernote-education-series%2F?gname=umuc_edtc_wl Thanks for sharing!

Highly engaging websites that teacher in form of song and games. Interest especially for middle and high school students.

A website designed for Spanish language teachers. Teaching resources for Spanish class, lesson plans, worksheets, Powerpoint presentations and more free Spanish teaching resources.

This tool allows you to build in questions and comments into a reading that the students can access outside of the classroom. The students can communicate within the readings to respond to questions to help check understanding and comprehension of assignments.

This sound like an interesting tool. Do you know if this works only with readings that are provided through this site or can teachers also integrate articles, or textbook excerpts?

A spreadsheet listing 1,195 (and growing!) songs in Spanish. Includes artist, title, grammar and vocabulary covered, culture, country of origin, and any other pertinent links to, for example, YouTube videos. Suggestions for songs not found here are welcome by site creator Sra. Birch.

I actually worked with this teacher during my interships in my undergraduate studies. She is very big into using music and videos in the classroom.

Nick, that is really cool! Yes, apparently she DOES get into teaching with music, with such a huge compilation of songs!

This is a great website. Web 2.0 tools divided into oral, listening, writing, vocab, language specific, IPad Apps, Android Apps, 21. C teaching and learning and more. What is great about this source that everything is neatly organized. Information includes cost of the tool, target audience, usefulness and ease of use rating.

I checked out the author's blog and found lots of interesting topics for discussion. Thanks Sabine!

Sabine, this is a great tool. I checked the apps for practicing listening skills and found a very interesting idea.I shared with my colleagues of Italian language.

A plethora of resources for using portfolios, strength-based and asset-based evaluation and assessment for language learning.

Portfolios are a great tool to use in the classroom, especially in a more digital environment where everything is already on the computer. I think that this resource could definitely be something that could help teachers who are unsure of how to use portfolios in their classroom.

I particularly appreciate the broad overview of this site. By including European example, it gives a wider range of perspective. Thanks for sharing

Interesting site with examples of rubrics for teachers and students.The suggestions can be customized for Language Learners and Instructors

This website, in English, is a great place to find the names of currently popular French musicians and songs. Some videos are embedded. Teachers could select songs to exploit in class, or they could direct students there to discover new music.
