"Web 2.0 for the Classroom Teacher"

Great for having students creatively use language that has recently been taught and practiced, by creating dialogues among famous characters. A special touch: the characters actually speak the dialogues in the speech bubbles!!!

A collecting of interesting Internet videos that would be appropriate for lessons and presentations, or personal research, related to technological and media literacy. Here are 70+ videos organized into various sub-categories. These videos are of varying quality, cross several genres, and are of varied suitability for classroom use.

This is an amazing compilation of fantastic videos and I´m a huge fan of Alec Couros with whom I´ve talked a bit in twitter.

A blog with fun worksheets for various grammar points and vocabulary. It's free and easy to print.
