ideas for IT in teaching

Penguin have recently launched an amazing project – to have 6 modern authors rewrite 6 classic novels, using web 2.0 technologies to bring them alive for an entirely different audience.

Just an amazing use of technologies.

Thanks to ewan macintosh for this.

lingro is a new language learning site with a difference

lingro’s mission is “to create an on-line environment that allows anyone learning a language to quickly look up and learn the vocabulary most important to them”.

There are a number of things available at this site:

• The web viewer lets you enter the URL of a website, it then makes all the words clickable for definition and translation
• The free instant search dictionary also gives you a definition
• You can add words to your word list and play a flashcard game to learn them
