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.

embed-ible resources for all sorts of visual learning.  One could use some of the data visualizations to show the importance of learning a second or third language.

I like how visual the site is. Other than infographics it incorporates videos and other interactives. I even saw Venn Diagrams. It has a lot to offer to use in the classroom for students and outside the classroom with other teachers or administrators.

Spanish Eduplace graphic organizers for classroom use

Helpful for preparation/advance organizers before reading/discussing TL topics

Neat and fun website to teach kids about copyrights.

This has some great free images. Could be used for description and webpages and flipcharts in the classroom.

This is an awesome resource that puts many of the technology pieces we are learning about in these courses all in one place. There are some other pieces that I have heard about and completely forgotten. These can be used in the classroom to aide tecahers and incorporate new technology in the lessons.

Simple ways to integrate technology into a lesson. Using the web to connect students outside the classroom.

This site is supported by Glogster and has many resources for not only how to use Glogster in the classroom, but lesson ideas, rubrics, and a bunch of 'how to" video tutorials

An interesting article from the Language Educator magazine from Oct 2012. Talks about how to use 90% or more of the target language in the classroom.

Do you know why the link says "Access Denied"? Is it a subscription only site?

You're right, Larissa. I must have copied the link wrong. The article can be accessed here: http://www.actfl.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/TLE_pdf/TLE_Oct12_Article.pdf

This is a collaborative workspace for the development of instructional items for the use of MMORPGs, like World of Warcraft, GuildWars2 and others, in a school setting.  Examples of how to incorporate World of WarCraft in school.  Great resources which can be transferred into the WL classroom

Slideshare on using Edmodo in the classroom

An online Web 2.0 tool for creating and sharing student and teacher created books. Great for the world languages classroom.

Ursula - I had Storybird as one of the choices my students could use for creating a children's story. They loved it.

Interesting 2008 article about teacher perception and usage with regards to technology integration. This is something that many of us probably see throughout our schools with the integration of more web 2.0 technologies in the classroom.

A good article that tells about how schools are using social networking

I like this article's ideas for how to use certain social media tools in the classroom, such as gaggle.net for safe social networking, Twitter for end-of-unit review, etc.

20 uses for Wordle in the classroom or out of class. Useful for a variety of purposes and a variety of ages. Wordle also used in a study for analyzing student writing samples, to show overused words and suggest broadening vocabulary.

Many of us have been talking about how it is hard to find time to take advantage of all the technologies that are out there. I thought this page offered an interesting perspective on how 21st technology can be incorporated into daily life.

Interesting article on the use of infographic. The full report from the Pearson and the Babson Survey Research Group offers an interesting perspective on the use of social media in the classroom

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.  

Teacher resources website which provides lessons, activities and classroom artifacts to engage learners using web 2.0 tools and technology. Categories are easy to use and make finding appropriate material simple.

This is a really good site, and I have used it a few times. Have you tried Share my Lesson at http://www.sharemylesson.com/ ? Many of the lessons are correlated to the common core standards. I've found several good lessons here as well.
