A SmartBoard mini-movie is a simple (most involve only a click of the mouse), interactive animation that teachers can download and add to their galleries.

15 Free Educational Resources for Interactive Whiteboards

In this post, I compare 16 file-sharing services. I took three main issues under consideration when creating the comprehensive app list below: Free, Fast, and Useful . . . Most of the services suggested require no registration. None of them will ask you to download anything to your computer, and all of them are easy to use, and worth using. It is actually great to see services, such as Yousendit, MailBigFile, and Rapidshare, that are still relevant and are good choices, but if I had to pick one it would be Mediafire. Don't get confused now. This is not a list of services that let you store all your files in the cloud, organizes them, or allows you to collaborate with friends. It's more focused on file-sharing only, in the richest capacity-well, okay, you be the judge of that.

Welcome to the Spanish-English sentence database powered by Spanish-Only.com! Why this database? I've been studying Spanish for several years now, but looking for good example sentences in one place was always something that seemed impossible. Because I also have my own blog and several of my readers asked me to share my sentence deck I decided to make one big database filled with Spanish-English sentences to help everyone out there really learning Spanish. These sentences are best used in combination with a Spaced Repetition System (read: What's an SRS?). This way YOU can learn Spanish words and grammar in a fun and relaxing way too.
