Hippocampus

This website was not very helpful to me. There was no section for World Languages. The only thing I thought I could use was the Math lessons in Spanish. However, I thought that the level may still be too advanced for my students. I guess they could read and listen to math in Spanish but I am not sure that all of them would have the math level they have there.
The site had interesting fun games for other subjects too but not a great source for Spanish.

Thinkfinity

I have been looking at this website for a few days now. It had a lot of interesting information but it seemed not to have a lot of materials for my Spanish class. I thought I could perhaps use it for the part when we study the Spanish speaking countries or anything that has to do with culture and history. Today I finally found something that was specific to my subject. There was a whole lesson on the Spanish speaking families. The lesson was pretty elaborated and I definitely could use some of it next year when we do the family. (I just finished with that unit) http://edsitement.neh.gov/view_lesson_plan.asp?id=306

Quiz posting practice.

I am trying to post a quiz. I went all the way to creating it but when I try to embed the code something goes wrong. I think it has to do with editing to fit within the blog's main column. Maybe I will try again tomorrow and it will be much better. Time to take a break.

RSS

Well, it took me a while to figure this out. What is new? I found Reader very interesting. I understood the video. It seemed very simple and easy. I was not very clear on what to do. I subscribed to free technology for teachers and I like the idea of making tests on line. I also subscribed to Tontito Frito in You Tube. This last one has a series of videos that explain Spanish grammar and Spanish realated topics in a different way. This last subscrition is not showing in my reader. I am a little confused once again. Was this only for blogs to read?
I do not know if I am making much sense, I tried to do this at school this morning but I could not see the blog list from my computer there. Eventhough I am learning I feel very challenged.
